SYSTEM OF MAINTENANCE OF VINEYARDS AISLES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A01B79/02 A01B39/16 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: system comprises spring loosening the soil to a depth of 12-15 cm, compacting, inter-bush processing, autumn ploughing and fertilising once every 3 years. The roots of growing weeds for the spring and summer period are pruned 2-3 times, and their aerial part is compacted, creating a compacted thick grass layer. The inter-bush processing of soil is carried out without breaking the compacted grass layer. After harvesting grapes the soil is processed with a combined unit, enabling to mix the entire grass layer accumulated over the spring and summer period, with the entire thickness of the ploughed horizon. Mineral fertilisers are applied once every 3 years in the root zone of the vine.

EFFECT: technology enables to prevent the destruction of the soil structure, to reduce evaporation of moisture and to provide soil with organic fertilisers.
