AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for soil preparation in melon and gourd cultivation are energy-intensive and result in incomplete soil layer rotation, leading to poor incorporation of plant residues and inadequate soil preparation.

Method used

A method of strip tillage involving forming four equal parts along the sowing zone, using spherical disks for primary and pre-sowing tillage, and incorporating soil slitting to reduce energy consumption and improve soil turnover, with spherical disks and chisel-shaped tools for subsoil loosening, followed by forming an irrigation furrow.

Benefits of technology

Reduces energy consumption and enhances soil preparation quality by ensuring complete soil layer rotation and residue incorporation, while creating conditions for effective water retention in the root zone.

Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in preparing soil for strip sowing of melon crops cultivated with furrow irrigation. The method involves forming four equal parts across the width of the sowing zone. The primary tillage of the soil in the two outer parts is carried out by turning the layers in different directions from the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the implement, strip subsoil loosening of the bottom of the cultivated strips, minimal mouldboard tillage of the middle parts of the sowing zone with their movement into different open furrows formed in the outer parts of the sowing zone, displacement of part of the soil from the side strips outside the sowing zone back to the outer parts of the sowing zone and the formation of an irrigation furrow. Before pre-sowing cultivation of the middle parts of the sowing zone, slitting is performed between the middle layers along the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the tool to the depth of pre-sowing cultivation. The middle and outer soil layers in the form of a segment in cross section are cut with spherical disks for primary and pre-sowing tillage.EFFECT: improved quality of soil preparation for sowing melon crops.1 cl, 7 dwg, 1 ex
