Abstract

This article examines the features of cultivation technology of yellow sweet clover (Melilotusofficinalis (L.)) on saline soils in the Kyzylorda region, depending on the methods of primary soil tillage. It was found that the application of various tillage methods (plowing, no-till with subsequent harrowing, and chiseling) significantly influences soil moisture accumulation and retention, as well as plant productivity. Under continuous rice cropping, the residual salt content in the arable layer reached 1.65%, whereas in the rice crop rotation it was 0.88%. The most favorable water regime during the emergence and tillering phases of sweet clover was achieved with no-till combined with harrowing, which contributed to better plant preservation (1.4–1.78 times higher compared to other methods) and increased green biomass yield over two years from 6.3 to 15.9 t/ha. It was also established that plowing and no-till methods differently affect soil moisture, varying it between 18.5% and 23.4%. The highest preservation of camelthorn plants by the end of the growing season (from 490 to 267 plants/m²) was also observed under no-till treatment. The conducted studies confirm that the growth, development, and yield of perennial legumes on the saline soils of the Aral Sea region largely depend on a complex of applied agrotechnical practices, particularly soil tillage methods.
