Morphological, diagnostic features and agrophysical properties of irrigated meadow-sierozem soils in arid soil-climate conditions (Azerbaijan)

The article presents morphological, diagnostic features and agrophysical properties of meadow-sierozem soils irrigated in arid soil-climatic conditions of Azerbaijan. The research was carried out on lands in the territory of the village of Malbinasi, Yevlakh district, in the Arzu farm. The thickness of the humus horizon of irrigated meadow-sierozem soils of the object of study is 55-65 cm. Hardening is most often observed in the deep layers. Due to siltation, a cloddy-granular structure was formed in the subsurface horizon. With increasing depth, a sharp increase in soil density is observed.
