METHOD OF GROWING POTATOES AND VEGETABLES UNDER CONDITIONS OF MIDDLE URAL MOUNTAINS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A01G1/00 A01N63/00 C09K17/02 A01C21/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of agriculture and land reclamation. The method comprises preparation of soil, application in the soil layer of natural silicon-containing mineral sorbent-ameliorant, sowing or planting of seeds, care for crops and harvesting. At that the silicon-containing mineral sorbent-ameliorant is applied in the soil as the unactivated diatomite of Kamyshlovskoye deposit of the Sverdlovsk region in doses of 2-4 t/ha. Diatomite is applied against the background of mineral fertilizers, corresponding to N₉₀P₉₀K₉₀. In addition, diatomite is applied on the surface before sowing cultivation or cutting ridges after application of mineral fertilizers. And the unactivated diatomite with a particle size of less than 2 millimetres is applied. For application the screening from production of graded diatomite is used as of chemical composition on dry matter, wt %: SiO₂ - 76.76; Al₂O₃ - 7.74; Fe₂O₃ - 4.35; FeO - 0.99, TiO₂ - 0.3; CaO - 0.7; HgO - 1.17; SO₃ (sulphite) - 0.15.

EFFECT: method enables to increase productivity.
