Abstract

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: method involves cutting slits diverging from soil surface and intersecting above soil along axial line of planting to define V-shaped section channel open from the top and simultaneously forming ridge; planting plants on top the ridge while plant roots are inserted into slits; covering slits by digging out two additional slits at both sides of ridge, each positioned at an acute angle to related previously cut slit and adjoining to base of the latter; simultaneously shifting separated portion of soil and pressing it to roots of plants; filling additional slits with zeolite and mineral additives.

Description

 The invention relates to agriculture, in particular to methods for planting strawberry plantations.

 A known method of laying row crops, including cutting grooves with their subsequent mulching with mulch material tapes with a perforated surface, while the mulch material tapes are laid along the curved profile of the furrows without leading lateral longitudinal edges to the row spacings. Planting grooves are cut in the turf of perennial grasses, then the turf edge is lifted at each of the side walls of the furrow, a horizontal longitudinal slot is cut into which the previously perforated longitudinal edge of the mulch material tape is placed, and the latter is secured by pressing the turf edge.

 The disadvantage of this known method is the high material consumption and limited use due to the lack of proper equipment.

 The closest technical solution known is the method of tillage with intensive technology of cultivating crops, which includes making, at an acute angle to the horizon, towards each other slots intersecting along the axial gauge, forming in cross section a V-shaped ditch closed from above.

 However, this known method does not allow planting without additional tillage.

 The problem to which the invention is directed, is to increase the survival rate of planted plants by forming a more developed root system in plants and to eliminate the formation of voids near the roots.

 The problem is solved in that in the method of laying a strawberry plantation, including cutting in the soil gaps with walls inclined at an acute angle to the horizon and subsequent planting, the gaps are made diverging from one another from the soil surface, while the gaps intersect each other over the soil axially planting lines of plants form in cross section an Λ-shaped ditch open from above with the simultaneous formation of a ridge.

 The problem is also solved by the fact that the plants are planted on top of the formed ridge, and their roots are placed on both sides of the top of the ridge.

 In addition, the task is also solved by the fact that after placing the plants on the ridge on either side of it two more additional slots are torn, each of which is located at an acute angle to the floor, respectively, to each of the previously made slots and adjacent to the base of each of them, with simultaneous movement and pressing of the separated part of the soil layer to the roots of the planted plants.

 The problem is solved also by the fact that additional gaps are filled with zeolite with mineral additives.

 A comparative analysis of the proposed solution with the prototype shows that the claimed method differs from the known one in that the cracks are made diverging from one another, while the cracks intersect above the soil along the axial line of planting and form a cross-section L-shaped open ditch with the simultaneous formation ridge, on top of which plants are then planted, the roots of which are placed in said slots on either side of the top of the ridge. Thus, the claimed method meets the criteria of the invention of "novelty."

 Comparison of the proposed solutions with other technical solutions in the art did not allow to identify solutions similar to the claimed. Thus, we can conclude that the claimed solution has an inventive step, since it does not follow explicitly from the known technological methods for laying strawberry plantations.

 A new technical result obtained from the use of the invention is that planting a plant on top of the ridge excludes the possibility of unintentional deepening of the "heart" of strawberries, and even distribution of roots in the cracks ensures good plant survival.

 In FIG. 1 shows a plantation site with open diverging L-shaped slits, a cross section; figure 2 General view of strawberry plants, whose roots are placed in L-shaped slits; figure 3 - cut on both sides of the protrusion of the additional slots with the simultaneous movement and pressing of the separated layer of soil to the roots of the plant; figure 4 is a cross section of planted plants with additional cracks filled with zeolite with mineral additives.

 The proposed method of laying strawberries is as follows.

 Before starting planting strawberries, for 7 10 days they carry out surface loosening of the soil to a depth of 12-15 cm. Last cultivation is carried out across future rows of strawberries. The surface of the soil is carefully leveled and rolled. After this, L-shaped slots 1 are cut in the soil, diverging from one another, forming a ditch open from above, with the formation of a ridge 2, on the top of which strawberry plants 3 are planted, placing 4 seedlings roots in the mentioned slots on both sides of the ridge top. After that, on both sides of the ridge, two additional additional slots 5 are torn to the depth of the L-shaped slots, each of which is located at an acute angle to the corresponding of the previously made slots adjacent to the bottom of each of the previously made slots, and at the same time the separated part of the layers is moved 6 soil, pressing it to the roots of plants planted in the above diverging crevices. Additional gaps are filled with zeolite 7 with mineral additives 8.

Planted plants are watered. The water consumption when watering 1 m of running line should be 2 3 l / total water consumption up to 40 m ³ / ha /.

 As the plants grow, their root system forms more branched, since from the moment of planting the plant roots are divided into two parts that can freely develop independently, without interfering with each other, and the gradual and constant feeding of plants with minerals and substances from additional cracks contributes to their better survival and development. In addition, the proposed method of laying the strawberry plantation eliminates flooding of the planted plants, since excess moisture is intercepted by additional slots filled with zeolite and working as drainage, which is especially important when growing strawberries, when even a short-term flooding of the "heart" is not allowed.

 Planting the plants according to the proposed method does not allow the formation of voids near the roots, so it provides a tight pressing of their soil to the sides of the L-shaped base of the ridge.

 The proposed method provides a more complete plant survival at the planting site / see table.

 The method can be implemented and widely used both in the conditions of large horticultural farms, and by farmers using their technical means.

 The beneficial effect of mineral additives located in additional slots filled with zeolite is evident almost from the very beginning of root mass growth and increases with the growth of plant roots, transmitting to other parts of plants more nutrients from both the soil and zeolite enriched with mineral additives .
