RU2129768C1 - Method for increasing rootage feeding efficiency - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: agriculture, in particular, permanent feeding of tree rootage during planting, as well as rootage of trees growing for a long time or fruit-bearing trees. SUBSTANCE: method involves placing at least one disk of porous material with nutrient substance between tree roots and soil surface. Nutrient substance may be positioned between disks in porous package. Disk body may be impregnated with nutrient substance. Method allows efficiency of seedling and fruit-bearing tree root feeding to be increased by preventing nutrient substance from penetrating into soil layer disposed at depth not used by roots for feeding. Dosage may be regulated by extent of porosity of packaging material. EFFECT: increased efficiency, wider operational capabilities and reduced labor consumption. 3 cl

Description

 The invention relates to agriculture and can be used for long-term nutrition of the root system, mainly trees, both when planting, and already growing for many years in the soil and bearing.

 A known method of plant nutrition during the cultivation process, which consists in watering the soil over the root system with a solution of combined nutrition of the root system or with a separate element dissolved in the aquatic environment (USSR author's certificate N 082032, class A 01 C 21/00, 04/05/61).

The disadvantages of this method are:
- the penetration of the solution throughout the mass of soil, including its buried layers, which are no longer used by the root system for nutrition;
- washing out the solution during heavy rains also in layers that are not used by the plant and its root system;
- the impossibility of introducing food ingredients for a long period, say for several years, for the above reasons.

 The aim of the proposal is to eliminate these shortcomings, namely increasing the nutritional efficiency of seedlings and fruit trees.

 This goal is achieved by the fact that at least one disk of porous material, for example, foam rubber, is placed between the root system and the soil surface, and before laying, the disk is impregnated with one or more long-term nutrition components.

The explanation of the method:
1. When planting seedlings, disks with impregnating nutrient mass in the form of a solution are worn on the trunk of a seedling. For this, the disk is radially cut. Impregnation is carried out by placing the disk in solution and drying. It is possible to place power between the disks in porous bags, which may be several in terms of the number of input elements.

 2. If there is a need for nutrition of an adult plant, then tear the soil above the root system to a depth that does not allow the soil to freeze after bringing it back to its original form. Then they put on disks with impregnation or with porous bags in which the food is located, and bury the soil that was removed when the disks were installed.

 3. When it rains, food will penetrate deep into the soil and penetration intensity and, therefore, the duration of exposure to the nutrient solution will depend only on the pore size of the material used and (or) the pores of the bags. The softness of the material allows you to increase the diameter of the barrel unhindered.

 Thus, all the goals are achieved.
