Description

The invention relates to methods of cultivating crops and may find application in agriculture.

A known method of sowing I.E. Ovsinsky / 1 /, based on a farming system with self-regulation of plants when sowing according to the principle of "densely empty": "... plants, in order to produce a large crop, must grow very dense, and from the sides have free space ..." / 1, with .164 /. In such crops, plants are forced to engage in intraspecific struggle, while having an abundance of light and nutrition at the same time. Crops of grain were conducted to a depth of about 5 cm with tapes about 30 cm wide on the moist base of the capillary layer of the soil, alternating them with unseeded strips of the same width (Fig. 1). At the same time, sowing was carried out in a row-wise manner, with six rows in each ribbon. Shoots were treated with horse weeds 2-3 times until the grains on the sown tapes grow up and darken in the un sown strip, which, in turn, allows us to suppress the growth of weeds and is equivalent to the effect of harrowing.

This method of sowing then (at the end of the 19th century) ensured the germination of seeds without rain on the 6th day, the accelerated development of grain by 2 weeks and an increase in yield up to two times. However, in modern conditions, the implementation of this method by modern technical means is difficult, in particular, due to damage to seedlings when passing heavy equipment. But this method gives an idea of the optimal width of the sowed and non-sowed stripes for the manifestation of the effect of "densely empty" and the need for special measures to suppress weeds on the stripes not sown with grain crops.

A known method of sowing crops through a strip with approximately equal in width (20-25 cm) sown and non-sown strips / 2 / and a device for its implementation (RF patent No. 2204891). The soil in the sown strip is loosened over the entire width to the depth of sowing and at the same time the seeds are spread randomly on the prepared bed. The top layer of loosened soil is shifted to an unseeding strip. The remaining seed-covering, loosened soil is leveled and compacted, providing a thickness of 2.5-3.5 cm of the soil layer above the seeds to form a single tillering node, which helps, in particular, to strengthen the root system and increase productivity. Laying the harvested driest soil layer from the sowing strip to the sowing strip in the form of a ridge allows you to get additional moisture, which rolls from the ridge to the sowing strip and favorably affects the development of grain. Weeds, covered with an additional layer of dry earth and not receiving atmospheric moisture, do not germinate for a long time, and grain crops during tillering darken the non-sowing strip, creating the effect of harrowing. A production check of the method was carried out in 2003-2004 on an area of 11 thousand hectares and showed an increase in wheat productivity by 50 ... 100 percent.

However, practitioners sometimes note germination of weeds on an un sown strip (on some soils after rains) and a significant decrease in yield increase (relative to the declared). In addition, weed germination occurs when the width of the sowing strip is narrowed, which requires careful adjustment of a special seeder (or modernized SZP-3.6) and a high culture of pre-sowing soil preparation. But this method of sowing grain showed the possibility of the manifestation of the effect of "densely empty" with a doubling of yield with strip sowing and strip width (20-25 cm or 22.5 cm - the average value), less than I. Ovsinsky (30 cm, not more than 32 cm / 1 /), if you use techniques with the effect equivalent to harrowing unseeded stripes.

A known method of cross-band sowing of spring and winter crops (Fig. 2) in a strip of approximately the same width (18-22 cm) for each crop with a distance between the strips of one culture 23-27 cm / 3 /, implemented, in particular, on serial seeders -cultivators SKP-2.1 (Omichka), SZS-2.8 and SZS-4.2 (Niva). And the problem of weed suppression in the bands not sown with spring culture is solvable, since these bands occupy winter crops, for example, rye, sown simultaneously with spring crops. At the same time, weeds are completely blacked out with winter crops, creating a harrowing effect, and there is no need for additional processing of crops while maintaining the effect of "densely empty" for spring crops.

However, winter crops in conditions of lack of moisture and soil fertility can reduce the yield of spring crops. In addition, in irregular fields or when sowing after cultivation, an unacceptable decrease in field germination is sometimes noted due to exceeding the specified seed placement depth, which is associated with a rigid fastening of the coulter with the Omichki frame.

A known method of joint sowing of grain spring crops and winter crops (or perennial grass) / 4 /, implemented, in particular, on seeders with independent suspension of openers of class SZP-3.6 and SZ-3.6, for example, when replacing part of the openers (ordinary) seeding on coulters with a seeding band width of at least 5 cm and observing the conditions for the manifestation of the effect of "densely empty".

However, replanting winter crops can lead to an unacceptable decrease in spring grain yields (with a lack of moisture and soil fertility).

To ensure the conditions of manifestation of the “thick-empty” effect, the width of the space not sown by the culture is needed Ln within 22.5-30 cm / 1, 2 /, and Ln = 2 × lm-lp, where lm is the row spacing, lp is the strip width. With a row spacing (lm) of 16.5 cm and a sowing strip width (lp) of 5 cm of a single-disk-anchor opener of the SUZT-4 seeder designed by the Technical Center Laishevo (Republic of Tatarstan), for example, we get Lн = 28 cm.

The technical result, to which the claimed invention is directed, consists in the effective technical implementation of the cultivation of spring and winter grains using row-sowing machines equipped with working bodies for sowing in the strip for sowing crops, ensuring that the sowing crop displays the effect of "densely empty", increase yields and reduce costs per unit of output.

To achieve the specified technical result, when cultivating grain crops, sowing of spring crops (or winter crops) is carried out with a row spacing lm and a sowing strip width lп at 22.5 cm≤2 × lm-lp≤30 cm into a strip with an increased seed rate of one crop through a strip or row with a reduced rate of seeding of seeds of the same culture within the specified total seeding rate.

In addition, during the technical implementation of the method of sowing with the seeders SZ-3.6 (SZP-3.6) and SUZT-4 with a coulter sowing strip width of at least 5 cm from the grain shaft, sowing is carried out in strips with an increased seeding rate, and in strips and rows with reduced seeding rate - from fertilizer shaft.

The drawings show:

FIG. 1 - scheme of sowing I.E. Ovsinsky.

FIG. 2 is an example of a pattern for sowing one crop in lane 1 through lane 2 with the same crop, but with a lower seeding rate.

FIG. 3 is an example of a pattern for sowing one crop in lane 1 through row 3 with the same crop, but with a lower seeding rate.

When sowing the proposed method, the manifestation of the effect of "densely empty" the greater, the greater the ratio of the increased sowing rate of strips 1 to the lowered seeding rate of seeds of strips 2 or rows 3 (within the specified general seeding rate). However, a decrease in the sowing rate is limited by weed soil (and other soil characteristics), the ability of the sowing crop to counteract them, the design features of the sowing machine, and many other factors. Optimum values for seeding rates can be determined empirically, taking into account local conditions.

When sowing one crop in lane 1 (with an increase in the rate of sowing seeds) through row 3 (with a decrease in the rate of sowing of the same crop) by a sowing machine with a 15-row spacing and a sowing width of 5 cm, for example (a modernized seeder of the SZ-3.6 class or SZP-3.6 with the replacement of half of double-row opener coulters with single-disc coulters / 4 /), the gap between the “densely sown” strips Lн = 25 cm.

An example of the method

On the modernized seeder SZP-3.6 with openers with a seedband width of 4..5 cm and a row spacing of 15 cm / 4, 5 / grain sowing machines corresponding to the "densely sowed" strips 1 (Figure 3), selection of gears of the gearbox, working the lengths of sowing coils are adjusted in the usual manner, for example, to sow 4/3 of a given normal sowing rate of a grain crop. On the windows of the grain sowing apparatus corresponding to the "rarely sown" rows 3 (Figure 3), plugs are installed. For these rows 3 open valves of fertilizer coils, configured, for example, to sow 2/3 of the seeding rate. The bunkers are loaded with seeds, for example, spring wheat and sowing in the usual spring time.

End of Example 1

After emergence with emergence of cereals at the stalking stage (in the proposed method), plants of “densely sown” lanes 1, due to increased intraspecific competition, quickly develop nutrition and sunlight resources at intervals, striving to close the stalk with plants of “rarely sown” rows 3, inhibiting weed shoots in between. When earning and ripening, grains in the “densely sown” lanes 1 use additional resources of sunlight and nutrition in the spaces with “rarely sown” rows 3, with the manifestation of the effect of “densely empty” and a corresponding increase in yield (without fertilizers), and resistance of the stand to lodging .

Example 2 of the method

On the seeder SUZT-4, the windows of the grain sowing machines corresponding to the "rarely sown" strips 2 (Figure 2) are closed with plugs and the gate valves of the corresponding machines sowing the tuks are opened. The sowing devices are set up in the usual way, for example, at 4/3 of the sowing rate - in “densely sown” strip 1 (grain devices) and 1/2 of the sowing rate of the crop - in “rarely sown” strip 2 (fertilizer sowing devices). The seeds of a grain crop, for example winter rye, are loaded into the bunker and sowing is carried out in the usual time for autumn.

End of Example 2

With the exit to the stalking stage, grains in the “densely sown” lanes 1 (Figure 2) are able to obscure (and inhibit) rare seedlings of weeds in the intervals between the lanes and further in the “rarely sown” lanes 2 (after closing the stalk). When earing and ripening, the plants of “densely sown” bands 1 use the share of the light and nutrition resources of the “rarely sown” bands 2, respectively, the yield (without fertilizers) and grain quality, the resistance of the grain stand to lodging, and the maturation of breads are accelerated. With this sowing, a substantial manifestation of the “densely empty” effect is achievable, and the need for seeds is reduced.

Thus, the claimed method of cultivating grain crops when sowing in one lane with an increased sowing rate through one lane or a row with a low sowing rate of seeds of the same crop provides an opportunity to increase productivity, providing favorable conditions for the accelerated growth and maturation of not only spring, but also winter cereal, reduced need for seeds.

With this sowing in “densely sown” and “rarely sown” strips (or rows) with seeds of the same grain culture with seeders with independent coulter suspension, the manifestation of the effect of “densely empty” is ensured. Cereal productivity is increasing, bread resistance to lodging, grain aging is accelerating. As a result, costs per unit of production are reduced, and the profitability of grain production is increased. And all this is possible without the use of fertilizers (and other chemicals), which corresponds to the concept of organic farming.

The effectiveness of the technical implementation of the claimed method is achieved by the relative simplicity of technical solutions, for example, when the adjustment of a serial sowing machine for the claimed method of sowing is carried out by replacing only half of the row coulters for row seeding / 4 /. Moreover, it is only necessary that the machine has at least two separate sowing shafts.

Certain elements of the technology incorporated in the claimed method were tested at several farms in the Novosibirsk Region and showed good results, reducing weediness of fields and increasing the resistance of bread to lodging, in particular, and the possibility of increasing the yield of spring wheat, for example, up to 1.5 times.

The proposed method is able to ensure the production of environmentally friendly (organic) grain products sold in "civilized" countries at many times higher prices, which becomes relevant when the country joins the WTO and the prospect of exports from Siberia to Southeast Asia.
