FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: method involves planting in bands of lines with placement of a mulching cover onto the bands. Plants are planted in the middle of spacing between plants in a neighboring line. A reserve band runs on the side where it is planned to place vegetative progeny. The territory on the other side is black fallow. As the initial plants enter the fruiting phase, new bands are started on the reserve territory with concurrent liquidation of the initial bands on the opposite side. As the bands of perennial plants are displaced, the reserve band is occupied step by step while equal area becomes vacant on the opposite side of the field. As the external border of the initial reserve band is approached, the end band is not restored, and the bands next to this band are liquidated one after another. The liquidated bands along the external border are substituted by new ones started on the other side of the field. For cultivation of strawberries, raw spacings in bands are filled with rosettes of the first order. After first fruiting next year they are liquidated together with the two-year old plants. For propagation of plants with hardwood cuttings, 2-3 cuttings are placed under every mulching band, their rooting parts are crossed in the soil, and the above-surface parts are directed different ways. The growing shoots form a green wall. For propagation with cuttings, the latter are separated from parent plants immediately on rooting, and they are replanted in bands with optimum nutritive area. Rooting takes place in the mulching material near the parent plant. Rosettes of strawberries are fixed in beds by means of stems with lateral parts being open rings for a filament. The latter ties together all stems in one bed. The mulching bands have light-proof covers on their upper surface. The covers have windows for light in the planting area. EFFECT: improved growing conditions. 9 cl, 24 dwg
