Abstract

Today intensive gardening is expanding every year in many countries of the world. The leading states are China (44.45 million tons), the USA (4.65 million tons), Poland (3.60 million tons) and Turkey (2.93 million tons). In the leading countries in the cultivation and export of apple trees, 90-95% of the total number of apple orchards are undersized grafts, that is, intensive apple orchards. Drip irrigation systems are mainly used for watering these gardens. Today, drip irrigation is used on more than 6,769 million hectares of arable land worldwide [1]. Gardening is intensively developing in Uzbekistan. It is important to grow these orchards, establish the optimal watering regime, norms and deadlines, and determine the seasonal water consumption of intensive apple orchards.
