Abstract

In recent years, the attention of scientists from the arid territories of the world, including countries from Central Asia, has been attracted by the problem of studying and developing halophytes and xerophytes in culture. Among the flora of the Gobi Desert, there are plant species that can function normally and reproduce on settled soils or irrigation with mineralized water. Currently, in the world practice, there are two directions in the use of halophytes and xerophytes in agriculture: the first is the ecological restoration of degraded arid pasturelands without the use of irrigation. The second is the selection of promising species of halophytes and xerophytes and the development of a technology for their cultivation for the production of high-protein energy-saturated feed. One of the main reasons for the low efficiency of forest nursery management is the insufficient supply of soils with mineral nutrition elements and, foremost, with humus. Our aim was to develop and study the technology of obtaining a peat-free substrate with optimal agro-chemical parameters for growing standard mycorrhizae planting biomaterial halophytes and xerophytes with a closed root system. For growing standard seedlings of halophyte and xerophyte plant species with a closed root system, the quality of the substrate is of great importance. Currently, almost all the substrates used are prepared on the basis of peat. The use of the proposed peat-free substrates for growing coniferous seedlings with a closed root system will help to increase the yield of mycorrhiza standard planting material by optimizing the physical-chemical properties of the substrate.
