STUDY OF YIELD AND DEVELOPMENT PHASES OF SESALPINIA AND WILD POMEGRANATE ON RECREATED SOILS

To ensure the rational use of soils, it is necessary to carry out reclamation measures, improve the reclamation state of irrigated soils, and prevent secondary salinization. As a result of oil production in Azerbaijan, soil pollution has become widespread. To restore 10,000 hectares of oil-contaminated soils, active reclamation measures are required. The situation on the Absheron Peninsula is more critical, since as a result of not taking environmental measures, vast areas of oil-polluted lands have formed, which, when inventoried and mapped, are shown as oil-polluted lands. These oil-contaminated areas differ in the thickness and depth of occurrence of oil products. Soil bitumization also occurs during gushing and oil spills as a result of extraction. To study the resistance of plants (Wild Pomegranate and Sezalpinia) to crude oil, experiments were carried out on reclaimed gray-brown sandy loam soils of the Absheron Peninsula, artificially contaminated with it. As a result of the data obtained, it was established that the development of the Wild Pomegranate on the Apsheron Peninsula, contaminated with oil products, is weak, and the yield is low. Positive results cannot be obtained on soils with separate percentages of contamination. Also, during the experiment, it was revealed that the plants of Sezalpinia are characteristic of the soils of this peninsula and they can be grown on soils contaminated with oil up to 5 %.
