METHOD OF TUBER CROPS GROWING AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A01C7/00 A01C9/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method involves strewing soil substrate onto a belt flooring with a mesh material for separation of tuber crops, sowing seed material, crops maintenance through the irrigation system by way of delivery of nutritional solutions, soil moistening and excessive moisture drain. Leafy tops of tuber crops grown are cut off by displacement of the ends of the mesh material for separation of tuber crops in mutually opposed directions and tubers are collected with the help of the mesh material for separation of tuber crops with simultaneous separation of tubers from soil. Then tubers are transported to the collection location. The belt flooring is intended for growing tuber crops. It is of a round shape and designed so that to enable formation and closure of a gap and has a mesh material with alternating large and small meshes for strewing soil substrate all along its length whereon the mesh material for tuber crops separation is laid through the open gap. For irrigation and delivery of nutritional solutions into the growing zone one uses longitudinal pipelines with capillary holes which are interconnected with crosswise pipelines with capillary holes. The crosswise pipelines are interconnected freely with a telescopic recess. The mesh material for soil substrate strewing is positioned between the longitudinal and the crosswise pipelines while the mesh material for separation of tuber crops is installed above and under the mesh material for soil substrate strewing and along the belt flooring. The longitudinal pipelines additionally have brackets mounted so that to enable rotation whereto curved tubular arches with a telescopic recess are rigidly and symmetrically attached. On the inner end of each end arch a porous and a mesh materials are attached possessing quick-split connection properties. The outer side of each end arch has a quick-split connection device for the protective shelter mounting. Soil substrate is strewn onto the open belt flooring at the places where large meshes of the mesh material for soil substrate strewing are located. Seed material is sown by way of seed material fixation within the gap proximity with the help of the porous and the mesh materials, the gap closure and the belt flooring 180° rotation for soil substrate to be strewn onto the seed material. For the next growing cycle implementation after cutting off the leaf tops of the tuber crops grown and prior to tubers collection seed material is fixed within the gap proximity with the help of the porous and the mesh materials, the gap is closed and the belt flooring is rotated 180° for soil substrate to be strewn onto the seed material.

EFFECT: invention enables crops yield on any type soil or ground and to protect the plants against negative impacts of the environment.
