METHOD OF MATTED SOIL TREATMENT AND ASSOCIATED PLOUGH Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A01B79/00 A01B17/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method provides for disking and ploughing. Disking is performed simultaneously with ploughing using flat disks and is realised by cutting turf layer into strip parallel to plough movement. Strip width is not equal. Widest strips are cut at the longest distance from landward edge of plough. Width of the most distant strip from landward edge is from half to two thirds of grip width. Each next strip has the same ratio. Plough includes frame, housing and disk knives. Disk knives are installed in front of each plough housing so that the farthest from landward edge disk knife shares the width of grip in ratio from half to one thirds of the given edge. Next knives share the remaining width between landward edge and neighboring knife in the same ratio. Rotational axes of adjacent disk knives are shifted with regard to each other in plough movement direction at the value, which less knife disk diameter.

EFFECT: reduction of power costs, increase of productivity and improvement of matted soil treatment quality.
