METHOD TO GROW SCION-ROOTED GRAPE PLANTING STOCK AND MACHINE FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A01G17/02 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to the field of agriculture, namely, to wine-growing. Method includes preparation of soil for planting of hefts, making hefts out of ripened vine, laying hefts for long-term storage, planting of hefts, vegetation watering, additional fertilising with macro- and microelements and protection of stock from agricultural pests and diseases. After removal of forecrops, stubble is peeled, annual and perennial weeds are suppressed, strips are tilled with pitch of 1.5 m at the depth of 0.25-0.35 m, wide comb is formed with height of 0.21…0.25 m above field surface level and width of 0.60-0.75 m. Flexible watering pipeline is laid along comb with droppers. Comb with flexible watering pipeline is covered with transparent film. In spring, when comb is heated for depth of 0.10 - 0.12 m up to temperature of +12 - +15°C, shortened hefts are planted with three buds at pitch of 0.12-0.15 m in two rows with space between rows equal to 0.30 - 0.35 m. In summer, when soil temperature is more than 35°C, film is removed. Machine to form combs comprises frame, brackets and fingers for suspension at traction rods of tractor. Machine is equipped with the following components serially installed on frame with the possibility of dismantling - tiller, spherical disk working elements installed oppositely on stands and shaper of wide comb of trapezoidal shape.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase yield of standard hefts with limited quantity of hefts from promising varieties of grape and to reduce manual labour costs.
