The article discusses the main habitats of soil mites in the irrigated lands of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. In this work, of particular interest were acariform mites (Acariformes), belonging to the groups of armored (Oribatei) and acaridia (Acaridiae) mites. During the study period, 60 soil samples were taken with a layer depth of 20 cm, the soils of the cotton rhizosphere, apple orchard, vineyard and rice field were studied. It has been established that the populations of soil mites on the irrigated lands of the Darsan and Shortanbay farms are distinguished by species diversity. In the soils of a cotton field and an apple orchard, 10 species of shell sticks were found, in the soil of a vineyard, 8 species, among which the mite Epilohmannia cylindrica prevailed, and among the ubiquists Oppiella nova. The watered soils of rice crops were characterized by the least species diversity, where habitats of such shell mites as Tectocepheus alatus, Oppiella nova, Hydrozetes amudariensis, as well as the presence of Bakerdanis centriger from the Scutacaridae family were noted.
