METHOD OF NO-TILLAGE SOIL MANAGEMENT IN SPACES BETWEEN ROWS OF PERENNIAL PLANTINGS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A01B79/02 A01B39/16 

FIELD: agriculture; machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agricultural machine building, in particular to method and device of no-tillage management of fruit crops grassy spaces and formation of rows with mulch cover. Method includes grassing of rows with plant formation by natural growing cover grasses of optimal species composition by means of periodic soil surface acupuncture at depth of up to 50 cm with formation of holes (pores) and mulch cover formation with thickness of up to 15 cm, periodical mowing of grasses with cut vegetation mass grinding and its introduction into soil to restore soil fertility, spring subsurface tillage and autumn cutting at rows slotted strips edges for aeration and tillage on depth of up to 30...40 cm with simultaneous introduction of mineral fertilizers into aeration strips. Grassing allows to create dense mulch cover, preserving moisture in soil in hot season, reducing its compaction, temperature of root zone by 3…5 °C.

EFFECT: increasing soil fertility, reducing its erosion.
