Prevention of Desertification and Land Degradation using Black Saxaul in Arid Conditions

The harsh climate of the arid zone determines several biological features in black saxaul plantations. Therefore, study growth and condition artificial plantations, depending on use physiologically active moisture-absorbing substances biostimulants, is particular practical importance. In Moinkum sands Zhambyl region (Kazakhstan), observations development places where biostimulants were used continued at industrial plantings 2018, 2019, 2020. purpose these studies was to prevent desertification by improving preservation forest crops saxaul. various water-retaining compounds (hydrogels), stimulants (Epin-Extra), fertilizers, as well their combined use, had a positive effect. biostimulators plant cultivation increased average diameter height seedlings an 30.1 38.6%, respectively. best effect stimulators shown with hydrogel, Epin-Extra (plant biostimulator), ready-made mixture fertilizer, Epin. substances, biostimulators, nitrogen fertilizers affected second subsequent years after planting.
