Внедрение в состав культур, выращиваемых на богаре, нетрадиционных для богарных условий многолетних засухоустойчивых растений будет способствовать предотвращению развития водной эрозии почв, повышению продуктивности богарных угодий, и обеспечению животноводства дополнительными кормами
Improvement of a livestock grazing scheme ensuring the restoration of pasture vegetation and observance of appropriate pasture loading.
This technology is aimed at the creation of pistachio plantations on gentle slopes to improve the land’s productivity and to rehabilitate the arid land in the hill zone.
Contour trenches for the cultivation of almond trees, and contour strips for cereals are types of rainwater harvesting structures. They are designed to capture runoff, reduce erosion, and enhance soil moisture—thereby improving land productivity and supporting climate-resilient agriculture in lowland dry areas.
Gradoni orchard terraces are intermittent strips of contour-based structures separated by catchments of about 10 metres. They are designed to capture and hold rainwater, reduce erosion, and improve conditions for the cultivation (in this case) of almond and pistachio trees, thereby enhancing land productivity and climate resilience in dryland areas.
A resource-saving irrigation technology for row crops using shortened furrows, which enables significant savings of irrigation water and improves the efficiency of mineral fertilizer use on irrigated land.
The technology of cultivating agricultural crops with the use of hydrogels ensures optimal soil moisture and plant nutrition by accumulating soil water and nutrients and gradually releasing them to the plants, thereby increasing crop yields and improving harvest quality.
The use of cold tolerant chickpeas, sown in autumn, significantly benefits farmers by realizing higher profits thanks to smaller amounts of fertilizers required, increased yields, and a better market price.
The cultivation of short duration mung bean varieties lead to higher farm-income and improved soil health in Central Asia
Strip seeding of desert drought-resistant plants on degraded pastures creates an improved and stable structure of pasture phytocoenoses composed of natural and cultivated forage plants, and increases forage potential of desert pastures.
The Decision Support Tool helps decision-makers prioritize sustainable land management practices using the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus, fostering collaboration, facilitating social learning, and balancing diverse stakeholder interests.
Planting drought-resistant tree species on sloping rainfed areas will increase the productivity of rainfed land and local incomes. Local afforestation of rainfed arable land will provide environmental benefits such as reducing the risk of water erosion, mitigating the impact of climate change by sequestering CO2 in wood biomass and soil, and will also contribute to overall environmental health.
The training of farmers in sustainable agronomic and irrigation practices aimed at improving and increasing the productivity of soil (in the frame of CACILM).
Covering the bottom of the channel and slopes with polyethylene film reduces water infiltration losses during transportation from the source to the field and increases the water use efficiency from 0.50 to 0.89 points
The Technology allows to introduce new forage crops, to increase the grass density, to develop multicomponent pasture phytocenoses, that provide productivity increase of degraded pastures by 2-3 times without disturbing the vegetation cover
Creation of pasture-protective forest shelterbelts promotes ecological and phytocenotic compatibility of natural vegetation and forage plants. The pasture plant community structure improves and the forage capacity of desert pastures increases.
Preparation of fields for irrigation with the use of a laser planner ensures uniform surface leveling, which provides equal soil moisture throughout the field, provides water savings (20-25%), increased yield by 10%, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Almonds and other drought-tolerant tree species are planted in rainfed zone, poor in precipitation, on shallow terraces on gentle slopes. Tree plantations prevent the development of soil erosion on the slopes and provide local land users with additional income
The technology is based on production of biogas from waste as a highly effective environmentally friendly organic fertilizer
To prevent large crop losses, it is recommended to water row crops through the furrow. Dry and watered furrows are rotated. Watering is carried out during periods of lack of water (low water).
Furrow Irrigation by forced water supply from two sides of the field with the use of single output irrigators - from the beginning and from the end of the furrow or strip (”counter" furrow irrigation) is used for irrigation of cotton and other row crops. The technology is used on low-slope / non-slope lands, which allows to ensure homogenity of moisture, reducing soil salinity in the end part of the field, increasing irrigation water productivity and crop yields
Сrop rotation Improvement through the introduction of legumes after harvesting winter wheat and green manure crops in order to reduce land degradation and increase the productivity of irrigated lands
Desert fodder plants cultivation in rainfed conditions provides adaptation to drought, creates feed reserves for livestock and prevents the water erosion development
Cultivation of Indigofera (Indigofera tinctoria) is one of the ways to restore degraded saline lands with low agricultural potential, as well as the ability to diversify and increase the income of local communities through the production and sale of natural indigo dye, which is synthesized in the aboveground biomass of the plant
A plantation of salinity-tolerant tree species, mostly having nitrogen fixing and high biodrainage capability, is created in a plot of arable land, out of use due to high salinity and water logging in order to restore productive functions of the land.
Cultivating several food and forage crops in the Kyzylkum desert using mineralized irrigation water from a flowing artesian well
The local community created with support of forestry community were involved in the reforestation of degraded areas, belonging to forestry (in the frame of CACILM).
