METHOD OF GROWING GREEN FODDER MASS ON SUBSTRATE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A01G31/06 A23K1/00 A01N25/02 A01P3/00 A01P1/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises placement of seeds on trays located in multitiered racks, sprinkling the seeds with a nutrient solution, their germination under a cover material without supplementary lighting and light growing the green, before placement of the seeds on the trays the substrate is laid of shredded meadow hay weight of which makes 25÷30% of the weight of the seeds, on the top of the substrate the seeds are placed evenly based on 2÷2.5 kg of seeds per 1 m², a disinfecting solution is poured for 15÷20 minutes with full coverage of the seeds, the disinfecting solution is discharged, the seeds are irrigated once with a nutritious vermi-solution, the seeds are covered on the surface with a polythene film and germinated for 24-36 hours without irrigation, and then an air layer of 15÷20 cm is created between the seeds and the polythene film for the next 48÷60 hours with irrigation twice a day with the vermi-solution, the film is removed, and the green is grown with lighting during 120÷144 hours. Biofungicide PLANRIZ is added to the vermi-solution, the disinfecting solution is used as 1% solution of potassium permanganate, irrigation is carried out by flooding.

EFFECT: improvement of seed germination, increase in the yield of biomass with an increased content of vitamins.
