| Abstract:
For organizing large-scale agricultural production in arid zones, it is proposed to cultivate plants in the constructions resembling hangars. Using of impulse sprinkling which allowed under field conditions to decrease irrigation water expense by 30–40% (compared to usual sprinkling methods) and to rise agricultural plant productivity up to 120–180%, is proposed for these systems. When plants are cultivated using liquid nutrient solutions, the novel method of aerohydroponics and new-synthesized substances named ecotols are proposed. Ecotols have proved to increase plants' resistance to unfavorable environmental factors. | |
