Abstract

The character of the quantitative changes in the main physical properties of ordinary chernozems under the impact of irrigation has been studied. It is shown that irrigation leads to a weak or moderate degradation of the aggregate state of the soils and a weak degradation of the soil bulk density, total porosity, and air capacity.
