Keywords:
Salinity, licorice, groundwater level, restorationAbstract
The use of a biological method for restoring abandoned irrigated lands using licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) was studied in the conditions of Uzbekistan, in the Bayavut district of the Syrdarya region. Initial studies of licorice development, changes in soil salinity and fertility, and groundwater levels and salinity were conducted in a 13-ha field (10-ha control). Soil salinity in a field sown with licorice decreased by 30 t/ha or 14%. The green biomass of licorice plants increased from 0.5 t/ha in the initial years to 5.11 t/ha, and the root yield, respectively, amounted to 1.9, 4.58 and 8.5 t/ha
