RU2512347C2 - Method for cultivation of fodders root crops under arid conditions - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the farm industry field. The method envisages arrangement of a furrow between rows. Strip planting of root crops seedings is performed in March-April with the help of a seedling machine, the furrow depth and width being 10-20 cm and 30 cm respectively. The furrow bottom is strewn (manually or mechanically) with rice husks mulching material in a 10-15 cm thick layer with subsequent compaction with lightweight rollers.

EFFECT: method allows to facilitate harvesting and to reduce yield losses under arid conditions.

Description

The invention relates to the field of agriculture.

There is a method of subsurface treatment of heavy loamy soils (RU 2160519, publication date 12/20/2000), this method is closest to the claimed invention, therefore, taken as a prototype. In the prototype, soil is cleaved to the depth of the arable horizon in the form of alternating furrows, between which dense trapezoidal septa are formed, followed by a shift of the tops of the dense partitions to the depth of seed placement and a repeated shift of the dense partitions to the depth of the arable horizon with the formation of a shallow layer in the zone of the main mass of the root system cultivated plants, after which the field surface is separated and a compacted layer is formed at the depth of the first soil shift.

The disadvantage of this method is the complexity of the mechanical processing of the soil, greater moisture consumption, weed control is carried out over the entire planting area, high costs of fuels and lubricants.

Disclosure of invention

The problem to which the invention is directed is to obtain a high and high-quality crop, and in connection with a tape planting, harvesting is facilitated and crop losses in arid conditions are reduced.

The problem is solved in the following way.

The method consists in the fact that during tape planting of seedlings (planting pattern 0.9 m + 0.5 m * 0.5 m), a furrow between the rows is simultaneously cut. The depth of the furrow is 15-20 cm, and its width is 30 cm. The bottom of the furrow is filled up manually or mechanically with a thickness of 10-15 cm with rice husks, followed by compaction. Rice husk was used as mulch, which has a high moisture capacity, low thermal conductivity due to the porosity and volume of the mulch, which reduces the number of irrigations by 2 times and dramatically reduces the evaporation of the soil. Watering is carried out in double rows, while mulching and the formation of a denser leaf mass adversely affects weeds.

Mulch (Eng. Mulch) - an organic or inorganic substance that covers the topsoil.

The implementation of the invention

In March-April, seedlings of root crops are planted and grooves are cut using a transplanting machine, followed by filling the grooves with mulching material (rice husk) and its subsequent compaction with light rollers installed, for example, on the frame of any cultivator. The most optimal scheme for planting root crops in arid conditions is 0.9 m + 0.5 m * 0.5.

Claims (1)

A method of cultivating fodder root crops in arid conditions, in which a furrow is cut between rows, characterized in that the tape planting of root crops is carried out in March-April using a transplanting machine, the furrow depth of 15-20 cm and a width of 30 cm, the bottom of the furrow fall asleep manually or mechanically by mulching material from rice husks with a thickness of 10-15 cm, followed by compaction with light rollers.
