is radioactivity. It is known that radioactive elements migrate in a certain amount during the
processing of phosphate raw materials [14]. The most radioactive are phosphogypsum from
Sweden, Spain and Morocco, which also complicates the involvement of waste in production.
Without additional processing, phosphogypsum is suitable for the construction of pavement
foundations, but only in cases where they are not subject to increased requirements for frost
resistance.
The quality of irrigation of crops largely depends on the uniformity of wetting of the
irrigated area. A number of studies have been devoted to this [17, 18]. It should be noted that there
are still no reliable irrigation equipment and technologies that would ensure a more uniform
distribution of irrigation water in the field. It seems very advisable to achieve a uniform
distribution of water along the length of the irrigation furrow, supplying less irrigation water.
In connection with the above, laboratory and field studies were carried out using composite
materials (CM) as devices for drip irrigation. Irrigation was carried out on trays made of KM with
dispersed fillers having the appearance of a furrow and installed on the ridges of the furrow next
to cotton. Trays from the obtained interpolymer material with a filler were made using special
molds (Fig. 1).
Results and discussion. The problem was solved in such a way that several trays with
certain pore sizes were placed next to each other along the furrow, at a distance of the length of
run-off of irrigation water. Water saving is achieved by eliminating the discharge of water, as well
as ensuring uniform soil moisture along the entire length of the furrow.
The irrigation tray is used as follows: water from the dispensers (Fig. 2.) (1), through a
filter (2) made of polymer material, enters the trays and through it enters the soil. Water
consumption is governed by the size of micropores (3) obtained by the selection of percentages of
components of the polymer material. The filter (2), which is made of the same material, eliminates
clogging of the trays. Irrigation water is supplied to the soil through the pores of the tray in the
form of droplets. Pore sizes can be adjusted by changing the composition of the CM. The width of
the trays is 10 cm, the depth is 12 cm, and the length is 100 cm. By connecting them in series, the
required length can be achieved.
The distribution of irrigation norms by soil layers was determined according to the variants
of small-plot experiments in triplicate. Watering was carried out without discharge. The soils of
the site are automorphic, medium loam in terms of mechanical composition. The optimal rate of
absorption of water into the soil was 0.016-0.017 m / h. The level of moistened soil layers at the
beginning and end of the furrow was 50 and 45 cm for the first, 62-51 cm - second and 81-69 cm
- third watering, respectively.
The balance equation of irrigation norms has been compiled:
m br = m 1 + m 2 + m 3 ; where mbr - irrigation rate supplied to the site, m

/ ha;
m1 - estimated irrigation rate, m

/ ha;
m2 - water loss due to evaporation, m

/ ha;
m3 - soil moisture below the calculated layer, m3 / ha
Irrigation rates by layers were determined by the size of soil moisture before and after
irrigation after 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 days and were calculated by the formula:
m = 100Hd (P nv -P f ), where N is the calculated soil layer, m;
