METHOD FOR BIOFUEL PRODUCTION FROM GALEGA ORIENTALIS Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C10L5/44 A01G1/00 A01B79/02 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: in method, soil is prepared to grow Galega orientalis: acid soils are limed, peat and manure compost is added. Ploughing is carried out, seeds are treated before sowing with the aqueous solution of rizotorfin in amount of 40÷45 g - on a dry basis per 1 kg of seeds; the aqueous solution of boric acid in amount of 12÷20 g per 1 kg of seeds; the aqueous solution of ammonia molybdate in amount of 6÷8 g per 1 kg of seeds. The sowing rate is 25÷27 kg/ha. Vegetating plants are sprayed with the aqueous solution of boric acid in amount of 800÷1000 g per 1 ha of soil in the phase of 5÷7 leaves. In the beginning of growth and after the first hay crop, the plants are sprayed with liquid humic fertiliser from biohumus in amount of 0.10÷0.15 g per 1 ha of soil. At the 5^th, 10^th and 15^th years of life the crops are treated with a disk harrow and are further sprayed with liquid humic fertiliser from biohumus in amount of 0.08÷0.10 g per 1 ha of soil. Green mass is cut in budding phase and is distributed into rolls by forage harvesters. Then the green mass is cured in rolls for 2÷3 days with drying to residual moisture of 60÷65%, the green mass is ground by forage harvesters until the fibre length makes 1÷3 cm. The ground green mass is dried in the drying drum at the temperature of 100÷110°C, granulated, granules are cured for 48÷54 hours until residual moisture makes 9÷12% and packed.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to produce ecologically clean biofuel.
