Remote monitoring over the salinity of irrigated soils within the cotton-growing zone

Under discussion are problems of soil remote monitoring and the monitoring over the salinity of irrigated lands in particular. It is shown that the given problem has become very acute not only in Middle Asia but also in the southern part of Russia. The experience gained in studying the soil salinity under cotton plantations can be applicable for soil monitoring in the other regions including the irrigated soils in the south of Russia.
