METHOD OF CULTIVATING POTATOES BY INTENSIVE TECHNOLOGY ON IRRIGATED LANDS OF STEPPE ZONE OF SOUTHERN URALS Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A01G22/25 A01C1/00 A01G7/04 B82Y99/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture. Method envisages autumn soil treatment, application of mineral fertilizers and cutting of crests, spring potatoes planting, plant care, irrigation and harvesting. Pre-landing preparation of tubers for planting is carried out in electrochemically activated catholyte with pH 8–9 and Eh = −400 ÷ −500 mV, stabilized with glycine in amount of 0.01 wt. %, containing in the emulsion ultrafine iron particles Fe with hydrodynamic radius of 716 nm and ultrafine particles of silicon oxide SiO₂ with hydrodynamic radius of 388 nm in weight ratio of 1:3 at their dosage respectively of Fe - 16 × 10^-4 Mole/l and SiO₂ nanoparticles - 6 × 10^-3 Mole/l under pressure of 114 × 10³ Pa. Treatment is carried out at the apparatus with a rotating drum with a drum rotation frequency of 10 rpm and a treatment time of 5 minutes.

EFFECT: method allows to increase potato yield and quality.
