We had soil, but when such a salt appeared, and even the process of increasing groundwater and evaporation processes were happening, we will have salt with groundwater and salted soil. Therefore, the degradation of land in the vast territory, the scientist explained.
According to him, according to the national forest program, in areas designated by 2020-2025, it was planned to be grown with shrubs and 20,000 hectares, and 20,000 hectares were also grown within the same framework of the same program in 2013-2019. Therefore, this year, the total planting area will be 40 thousand hectares. The program is still happening, then need to expand.
The dialogue said that the main desert factories are grown mainly, including the most suitable – black saxaul. “And, of course, the plants need less water. Regarding the shortage of water resources and drought. In case of watering, you can use positive plants, other plants, smoking, for example, also a component factory. We have worked with it,” he said.
