desert. However, the existing raw material base is insufficient for the development of the production
of phosphate fertilizers, therefore, further intensification of geological exploration work is required
in order to expand reserves of phosphate raw materials.
The article presents the features of Paleogene deposits in the South Gissar region and, using
the example of the Tupalang area, considers the distribution of phosphite ores. As a result of the
study, it was found that phosphorite sandstones in the Tupalang region are suitable for agriculture
as an inexpensive local raw material, which helps maintain productivity, increase the yield of cotton,
grain and other crops, partially replace mineral fertilizers with good profitability, and the mining
conditions of the study area are favorable conditions for open development of phosphorite-containing
rocks.
