DEVELOPMENT OF CORN CULTIVATION TECHNOLOGY WITH THE USE OF WATER-SAVING IRRIGATION TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

At present time new tendencies of world agrarian economy and demography are formed, global climatic changes take place in the direction of strengthening and prolongation of heat and drought periods, which sharply negatively affects yield capacity of many most important crops, including maize for grain.

Synoptics’ forecasts confirm that the heat and drought will increase more in the subsequent years. In these conditions, in order to resist negative factors, a significant change in the elements of the technology of cultivation of various agricultural crops is required, which should be directed towards reducing the negative impact of critical factors on yield and productivity.

Therefore, the improvement of the technology of cultivation of agricultural crops, with the use of water-saving irrigation technologies is the most important task of modern agricultural production.
