METHOD OF CULTIVATING SEED AND PLANTING ONIONS AS BULB ONIONS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A01C7/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture, namely to crops cultivation in particular to cultivating seed and planting onions as bulb onions in a drip irrigation system. The seed and planting onions cultivation method implies making ridges 80-90 cm wide and interridge hollow 60-70 cm wide, seeding in rows with row spacing of 5×20×5×(20-30)×5×20×5 cm, placing flexible watering hoses with trickle interval of 20 cm into the inter-row space 20 cm with the water consumption of each trickle not less than 0.95 l/hour. Middle wide inter-row spaces (20-30 cm) in each ridge are fitted with additional flexible irrigating pipeline with trickle interval of 0.4 m and water consumption of each trickle equal to 1.9-2.1 l/hour, the irrigation time is reduced by a half.

EFFECT: method of cultivating seed and planting onions as bulb onions in the irrigated farming by a drip irrigation system provides for the yield increase, standard products output, reducing inefficient use of irrigation water and macro- and micronutrients introduced with the latter, reducing weeds in the interridge hollows.
