Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: before sowing, seeds of legume grasses are mixed with zeolite-containing loam alanites and treated in an ultrahigh frequency electromagnetic field with 30-40 second exposure.

EFFECT: such treatment of seeds stimulates growth and development, and increases their nectar content as well.

Description

The invention relates to the field of agriculture, in particular to crop production, and may find application in the sowing of legumes to improve nectar productivity and increase seed yield.

There is a method of increasing nectar productivity by foliar dressing with microelements (The biological role of micronutrients and their use in agriculture and medicine. M: Nauka, 1974, p. 103.

The disadvantage of this method is the significant cost of trace elements and their application to vegetative plants.

The closest technical solution is a method where boric acid is added, which is dissolved in water with an additional introduction of sugar in an amount of 10-12 kg / ha.

Such top dressing of flowering grass stands improves nectar productivity and increases seed yield (A.S. 1634198, published March 15, 1991, class A01K 47/00).

However, in the prototype method, funds are spent on boric acid, sugar, the processing of crops that attract pollinating insects. During the period of precipitation, the introduced solution loses its properties and does not achieve results in increasing nectar productivity.

EFFECT: stimulation of growth and development of leguminous herbs.

The technical solution is achieved by the fact that the seeds of legumes are mixed with zeolite-containing alanite clays at the rate of 20-30 kg / ha before sowing and the resulting mixture is processed in an ultra-high frequency electromagnetic field with an exposure of 30-40 seconds.

The method is as follows: before sowing the seeds of legumes of clover, goat, sainfoin and others. Mixed with alanites - zeolite-containing clays (birthplace of North Ossetia, Mozdok district)

Alanite contains: silicon 50-53%, aluminum 16-17%, iron 4-6%, calcium, phosphorus, manganese, sulfur, magnesium, zinc, copper, cobalt and other elements in small quantities (within 0.05-1 %). The reaction medium (pH) of 8.64 due to the high content of calcium. Alanite has low water loss (about 3%), high heat capacity (coefficient 0.34) and adsorption capacity. The trace elements in these clays are in forms accessible to plants. Treated seeds in the microwave electromagnetic field in a mixture with alanites retain heat for a long time and, thanks to the chemical composition of alanite, enhance the metabolism of seed bio-cells, increasing the activity of enzymes.

Seeds treated in this way for a long time retain the solution in the soil, stimulate the growth and development of plants.

The alkaline reaction of alanite enhances the microbiological process, especially on acidic soils.

Example 1. The seeds of eastern goatskin at the rate of 10 kg / ha were mixed with alanites in an amount of 20 kg / ha. The mixture was exposed to an electromagnetic field of ultrahigh frequency (EMF microwave) in the cavity of a Samsung CE 2738 NR microwave oven with a power of 800 W and an exposure time of 30 seconds. The temperature of the seeds was recorded using a TPEM-1 electrothermometer.

After heat treatment, the seeds ripened for 2-3 days, followed by sowing in the field.

Example 2. Seeds of sainfoin sand at the rate of 30 kg / ha were mixed with 30 kg / ha of alanites and exposed, as in the first example. Microwave EMF exposure time - 40 seconds. After 2-3 days, the seeds were sown in the field. The curing period is necessary until the seed dormancy is completely reduced and germination is accelerated due to the penetration of heat and nutrients into the endosperm. During the flowering period of leguminous herbs (goat, clover, sainfoin, etc.), the amount of nectar in the flowers, nectar productivity, the number of pollinators, and seed yield were determined.

The selection of nectar was carried out by washing it from the flowers during the period of maximum isolation and determined its mass based on each flower and unit area.

The results of the experiments are summarized in the table (for Eastern goatskin, 2nd year of life).
