METHOD OF SOIL TILLAGE FOR CULTIVATED CROPS UNDER IRRIGATION CONDITIONS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A01B79/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method envisages basic soil tillage by way of in-depth cultivation every three years and minimum intensity tillage in spring and autumn. Basic soil treatment is performed to a depth of 35…40 cm with the help of a chisel implement, predominantly - with inclined posts positioned at an angle of 45°. During basic soil tillage the furrow bottom is formed to be crest-shaped with alteration of rectangular indentations and triangular-shaped elevations. Spring and autumn tillage is done to a depth of 10 and 14 cm respectively. The cultivated crops are represented by maize and soya.

EFFECT: such a technology enables prevention of soil over-compaction, underground water upheaval and soil salination and provides for quality weeding control.
