Which crops are grown in irrigated oases of the Karakum Desert?

In the irrigated oases of the Karakum Desert, modern irrigation systems—most notably the Karakum Canal—have enabled the cultivation of several crops. The primary agricultural products grown in these oasis areas include:

• Fine-fibred cotton1
• Fodder crops1
• A variety of fruits and vegetables1

While these crops are supported by irrigation, it is important to note that such agricultural development has led to significant environmental challenges, specifically the secondary salinization of the soil, which can render land infertile.1
