Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to and may be used in agriculture of open or closed ground. Method means that electrostimulation is performed on tomato plants of open or covered ground, and electricity is supplied from the power grid by a horizontally tensioned conductor connected at one end to the positive terminal of the step-down single-phase transformer with the rectifier, its second end insulated, and the negative terminal connected to the wet ground. Scourge of tomatoes are pinched by means of clothespins for flexible conductive cords, which have been discharged from the conductor, creating a closed adjustable safety low-current chain. Electric power is supplied from the battery by its automatic feeding through the diode.

EFFECT: method allows to increase the yield of tomato plants, as well as to reduce the maturation period.

Description

The invention relates to the field of agriculture and can be used in agriculture of open or closed ground.

The purpose of the invention: the intensification of the vital activity of tomato plants by electrical stimulation in order to increase productivity and reduce ripening.

There is a method of electrical stimulation of the vital activity of plants during their cultivation in vitro, while an electrically conductive tube for growing plants with a metal tip and a stopper is mounted on a tripod so that the metal tip touches the metal base of the tripod, to which the conductor from the positive terminal of the battery is connected, to stop the current supply use a switch, regulate the current supply using the current regulator with instruments for recording current and voltage, the current supply is set with using a time switch, and electrical stimulation is started when the plant’s meristem section is placed in the nutrient solution so that the conductor’s conductor touches the mirror of the nutrient solution, the conduit with the conductor is connected to the negative terminal of the battery, after the plant reaches the required level of development, it is transferred to open ground (prototype RU 2555449, A01G 7/04, 07/10/2015).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A known method of electrical stimulation of the vital activity of plants during their cultivation "in vitro," after the plant reaches the required level of development, it is transferred to open ground (prototype RU 2555449 A01G 7/04 07/10/2015).

Declared as a prototype method involves electrical stimulation of plants, when a section of the meristem is placed in a nutrient solution of an electrically conductive tube, and the electrical circuit is powered by a battery.

The disadvantage of the above method is its applicability to growing plants in vitro, and after the plant reaches the required level of development, it is transferred to open ground or greenhouses, where there is no electrical stimulation factor.

The objective of the proposed method is to create a system of electrical stimulation of plants of tomato soil plantings.

The technical and biological result of the method consists in the possibility of efficient use of electrical energy to intensify the growth of tomatoes in order to accelerate the ripening of its fruits and increase productivity, including other plants, including microclonal propagation.

This technical and biological result is achieved by pinching lashes of tomatoes on flexible electrically conductive cords suspended from a conductor with the supply of an adjustable safe electric current (12 ... 24 V, 0.38 ... 0.50 A).

The device shown in the drawing (Fig.).

The device includes an electric circuit with a step-down single-phase transformer with a rectifier 1 and a battery 9 connected to the circuit through a diode 10, a switch 2, a current regulator 3 with devices for recording current and voltage, a time relay 4, flexible electrically conductive cords 5 for lashes of tomatoes with clothespins 6 suspended from horizontally stretched at a certain height conductors 7 with an insulator 8 on the opposite end from a step-down single-phase transformer with a rectifier.

The system of electrical stimulation of soil planting tomato operates as follows.

An electric circuit is connected to horizontally stretched conductors, including a step-down single-phase transformer with a rectifier 1. One (positive) output of a step-down single-phase transformer with a rectifier is connected to the conductor, the second (minus) connected to wet soil. The current supply is carried out using the switch 2, the adjustment is carried out by the current regulator 3 with devices for recording current strength and voltage. The current supply is set using a time relay 4, operating in a given mode. With growth, the whips of the tomatoes are pinched to the clothespins that are pulled from the conductor, which are lowered from the conductor at certain intervals, which ensures their contact with the electrically conductive cord and creates a closed, adjustable, safe, low-current circuit.

In the absence of centralized power supply, an electric circuit is created by automatically connecting the battery 9 through a diode 10.
