Alakbar, R. H. B., Ikhtiyar, A. N., Mirismayil, M. A., Vagif, A. S., Allahverdi, T. H. & Farhad, G. A. (2026). Current state of soil microstructure in the Kur-Araz lowland of the Azerbaijan by remote sensing and photometry. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 32(3), 566–572
Based on the data obtained using remote sensing and GIS technologies, the areas of soil salinity distribution were determined. Conducting soil monitoring in the Kur-Araz lowland, which is the region that best meets the needs of agriculture in the Azerbaijan Republic, is a very pressing issue. The best regressions were obtained for the period of active vegetation of crops. Analysis of field-selected crust samples (the surface layer of the transformed soil surface) and mixed samples of arable soil horizons showed that the humus content in the crust sample increases with respect to the mixed sample of the arable horizon when the surface is transformed under the influence of atmospheric conditions. The bulk of the population’s demand for vegetable crops in the Republic of Azerbaijan is met by agrocenoses located in the areas of the Kura-Araz lowland. From this point of view, it is very necessary to study the soil and climatic conditions of these territories using modern methods.
