Salsola arbuscula Pall. as a soil reclamation plant for pastures of the Karnabchul

The article provides information on the results of studies on the testing of the Salsola arbuscula Pall. In the conditions of the gypsum desert Karnabchul the survival rate of growth and development according to the yield of the aboveground biomass. Accounting for the yields of the aboveground plant biomass showed that under conditions of Karnabchul, the Salsola arbuscula can form forage mass more than 2-3 times higher than natural pastures. In the first year of life, the harvest of the aboveground biomass of the Salsola arbuscula was 5.1 t/ha, the Salsola orientalis S. G. Gmel. - 4.2 t/ha, the yield of natural pastures - 3.2 t/ha. In the second year of life, the dry aboveground biomass harvest was 14.8, 18.3 centners per hectare, while the yield of natural pastures was 3.7 centners per hectare.
