Abstract

The most important branch of economy in Samtskhe region is agriculture, and the region has quite a high potential of agricultural production. This is evidenced by the quite fruitful and diversified types of soil in the region. In respect of productivity, brown forest soils, brown meadow, grey-brown and forest sierozems in Samtskhe, with most of the agricultural plots located over them are particularly fruitful. The small irrigation channels here are similar to those found all over Georgia and in the mountainous regions of Caucasus. Their sizes, structure, water conducting capacity and irrigation efficiency are relevant to the conditions of a mountainous relief. The conducting capacity of the irrigation channels is little, and most of the channels have ground or exposed beds. Provided the melioration system is put to order and by considering the fruitful soils spread in the region it will be possible to boost the agricultural productivity significantly.
