ABSTRACT
This article discusses the ways of solving the problems of fruiting and increasing the yields, as well as obtaining high-quality standard seeds from promising seed plants of black saksaul (Haloxylon aphyllum (Minkw.) Iljin). It presents the results of studying the effect of irrigation and the use of fertilizers on the annual growth of the apical shoots of saksaul, and the effect of irrigation on the further stability of seed plants fruiting for sustainable seed supply for reproduction of saksaul deserts and forest amelioration of deserts. The morphological description of the soil by profiles has been given, and the effect of irrigation on the soils of the type II forest conditions has been described. This study was aimed at resolving the problem of fruiting frequency, increasing the yield and quality of promising black saksaul seed plants by determining the moisture dynamics in the one-meter thick soil layer under saksaul specimens for determining the methods, norms, and time of irrigating seed plants. Long-term observations show that well-developed specimens of black saksaul have appeared in the last 15 – 20 years on the roadside in some settlements, e.g., Bakbakty, Bakanas, Akkol, Koktal, Karoy, the motor road in village Kanshengel, Topar, Araltobe, Akzhar in the Almaty area, which passes through natural saksaul plantings and the soil with the formation of layered clay, sandy loam, and crushed stone. On the one hand, this was promoted by the presence of layered and well-aerated roadsides of the bulk roadbed, and on the other hand, by additional wetting from the runoff of precipitation from the asphalt pavement. Naturally, these saksaul plantings growing along the roads alone or in rows give a good yield when fruiting; seed plants may also be identified in these groups
