Abstract

This paper presents findings on the creation of digital agrochemical maps for irrigated meadow-alluvial soils in Uzbekistan through the application of contemporary GIS technologies. Additionally, it explores the utilization of these maps to establish optimal fertilizer application rates and timings for various agricultural crops. The research aims to leverage Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies to develop digital agrochemical cartograms specifically for irrigated meadow-alluvial soils in Uzbekistan. These cartograms serve as digital representations of the agrochemical characteristics of the soils in the region. The adoption of GIS facilitates a comprehensive and spatially explicit understanding of soil attributes, enabling a more precise and informed approach to agricultural management. The primary objective is to determine optimal rates and timings for fertilizer application tailored to the distinct characteristics of irrigated meadow-alluvial soils. By integrating soil information into the GIS framework, the study seeks to establish a connection between spatial variability in soil properties and the corresponding agricultural practices. This approach allows for the development of targeted fertilization strategies based on the unique attributes of each soil type.
