METHOD OF FORMATION OF RIDGES AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A01B79/00 A01B13/02 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method includes rotary cultivation with bands and hilling. The soil of the milled band is shifted from the edges toward the center to form a central ridge array standing vertically from the upper to the lower base. The side slopes of the ridge are formed by the shift from both sides to the central ridge array of non-milled soil to obtain a ridge, which consists of vertically standing array and side slopes of equal height with different degrees of cutting the soil. The device comprises milling drums, hillers, reflectors attached on the frame with the clearance relative to each other. The reflectors are mounted behind each milling drum at its ends at an angle to it and are hingedly connected in a plane passing through the ends of the milling drum. The hillers are mounted in the clearances between the milling drums to form the ridge side slopes by shifting to the central ridge array on both sides of non-milled soil.

EFFECT: technology and design enable to create the conditions for cultivation of tuberous roots of flattened shape.
