METHOD TO GROW SCION-ROOTED GRAPE SEEDLINGS AND MACHINE FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A01G17/02 A01G1/00 

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 fertilizing 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 0.20…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 as the comb warms up for depth of 0.10 - 0.12 m to the temperature of +12 - +15°C, shortened hefts are planted with three buds with a pitch of 0.12 - 0.15 m in two rows with space between rows of 0.30 - 0.35 m. In summer as soil temperature is over 35°C, the firm 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: group of inventions 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.
