Erosion Process and its Impact on Agricultural Productivity in its Intensive Development in the Territorial Land of Masalli District

Abstract

The article presents the general characteristics of geological, geomorphological, and orographic structures of soil-forming species, hydrographic network, climatic conditions, climatic factors, plant cover, and plant cover. The total area of the district is 72,097 hectares, of which 33.07% have a slope of the surface, which ranges from 1 to 350. Wrong use of steep slopes, unsystematic cutting of forest, unregulated output of livestock, and economic activity play a major role in the spread and development of erosion processes in the territory of Masalli district. Studies have shown that under the influence of erosive soils, the content of humus is 3.63%, and in heavily loamy yellow loam soils, it decreases to 1.81%. Erosion processes in the territory of the Masalli district are causing great damage to plantations of grain crops and, in particular, winter wheat, reducing their yield. Thus, in the middle-mountainous forest-forest soils, the yield of green leaves of corn per hectare is 1118 kg, in heavy duty 536.5 kg. In non-washed mountain-forest yellow soils, the yield of winter wheat per hectare is 16.5 ts and medium washed 7.9 ts.
