METHOD FOR FORMING SEEDBEDS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A01B13/02 A01B79/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method for forming seedbeds involves cutting the furrows between the formed seedbeds, loosening the planting soil layer on the seedbed, levelling its upper surface, straightening and compacting the slopes 6 of the seedbed. Before or after the seedbed loosening, inclined slots with the depth of 20…35 cm, which is greater than the seedbed height, are cut under it from both its sides. The slots are also cut with the inclination from the vertical by 25…45° and with the exit to the surface of the furrows in the interface area of the furrow bottom with its slope, but not higher than 6 cm from the furrow bottom. Then the seedbed surface is levelled, and its slopes are compacted at the end of its formation. The depth of the loosened layer of the seedbed soil is not less than the depth of the future planting.

EFFECT: method prevents runoff through the furrows, ensuring the excess moisture removal into the soil mass under the seedbed.
