METHOD FOR CULTIVATION OF CUCURBITACEOUS CROPS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A01B79/02 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method involves pre-sowing treatment of seeds; sowing seeds in preliminary prepared soil and providing care of young crops; before sowing, treating seeds with anolite solution having redox potential of +600-1,000 mV at temperature of 20-30 C during 60-90 min; holding treated seeds in catholite solution and providing air access until sprouts germination with redox potential of -150 - - 300 mV at indicated temperature; performing seed sowing using water flow; in 4-6 days after germination of sprouts at 2-3 real leaf stage, providing low-volume spraying by treating with catholite having redox potential of -150 - -200 mV; combining mellowing of soil in interspacing with catholite spraying and cutting of weeds in interspacing; before vine formation stage, spraying young crops with anolite having redox potential of +600-1,000 mV; providing sequential treating of young crops with catholite having redox potential of -150 - -200 mV during mass flowering of pistillate - fruit formation stage; combining final spraying with catholite having redox potential of -150- -200 mV with mellowing of interspacing and cutting weeds between cucurbitaceous crop roots during vine laying - spreading procedure.

EFFECT: increased productivity and improved quality of cucurbitaceous crops.
