The reclamation of solonetz-solonchak soils of Ararat valley has been performed by a local way. The required ameliorants as the hydrochloric acid (industrial waste) and the activated plaster (natural mineral) have been used only towards planting stocks rows, 2m x100m =200m2, which makes 0.32 ha and in this case the amount of the required ameliorants is reduced for 3.1 times. Only the 600- 800m2 has been reclamated from one ha of land area. The expences for ameliorants purchase and transport have been reduced for 12-16 times. In current conditions it is suggested to reclamation the solonetz-solonchak soils by the local way, which will result in saving of financial resources.
