Method of cultivation of safflower

Abstract

The invention relates to agriculture, specifically crop production, and can be used in safflower cultivation under semi- and unsustainable rainfed conditions in southeastern Kazakhstan with an annual rainfall of 200-400 mm. The objective of the invention is to develop a method for cultivating safflower under semi- and unsustainable rainfed conditions in southeastern Kazakhstan with an annual rainfall of 200-400 mm. The technical solution of the invention is the accumulation and preservation of moisture in the soil, an increase in the yield of safflower grain, and a reduction in labor costs due to the reduction of agricultural activities during its cultivation. The said technical result is achieved by a method of cultivating safflower, which includes primary tillage, pre-sowing surface tillage, sowing, early spring pre-emergence tillage, post-emergence tillage, according to the invention, primary tillage is carried out in the fall after harvesting the preceding crop once by loosening the surface soil layer to a depth of 8-10 cm, Pre-sowing surface tillage is carried out in the spring by loosening the surface soil layer to a depth of 8-10 cm, additionally, 7-10 days before sowing, chemical treatment of the fields is carried out with a continuous action herbicide Tornado 500 at a rate of 3 l / ha, safflower sowing is carried out using precision seeders in a wide-row method with a row spacing of 50 cm to a depth of 5-6 cm with simultaneous rolling and application of phosphorus fertilizers ammophos at a rate of P60 per 1 hectare, Early spring pre-emergence soil treatment is carried out by treating the crop with the herbicide Dual Gold at a rate of 1.5 l / ha, post-emergence treatments are carried out during the growing season by treating the crop with the herbicide Panther at a rate of 1.5 l / ha, in the rosette phase, inter-row soil treatment is carried out at 8-10 cm with the simultaneous application of ammonium nitrate at a rate of N35, in the budding phase, as weed pests appear, safflower crops are treated with a tank mixture, consisting of the insecticide Karatoshans at a rate of 0.2 l / ha and the growth stimulant Beres 8 at a rate of 0.2 l / ha. An additional technical result is achieved by a method for cultivating safflower, according to the invention. Before sowing, safflower seeds are pre-treated with a tank mixture consisting of the seed treatment agent Redigo Pro at a rate of 0.35 l / t and the organomineral fertilizer Beres 8 at a rate of 0.2 l / t.
