The paper presents modern approaches to monitoring and assessing the pedological-ecological state of soils under drip irrigation conditions, which includes the features of soil samples selection taking into account the area of the irrigation pipeline and non-irrigated aisles (rows), laboratory-analytical studies of soil samples, calculation of the quantitative characteristics of variation integral indicator of the investigated factors, establishment of a the representative profile / well. Impact assessment of drip irrigation method on the soil processes and the agro- ameliorative state of irrigated lands was carried out according to the soil indicators of the profiles / wells, representative for the studied zones in the rows and the aisle. Proposed approaches allow a reliable assessment of drip irrigation intensity influence on soil processes in order to maintain the pedological-ecological, agro-ameliorative state of the irrigated soils at the safe level, preserve and increase the soil fertility.
