METHOD FOR CREATING MIXED CULTURES OF CEDAR UNDER CONDITIONS OF DAMAGE BY WILD ANIMALS Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A01G23/00 

FIELD: forestry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of forestry. The method includes strip tillage on the site and subsequent planting of the cultivated crop in orderly mixing with the shadow crop. As a shadow crop, seedlings or spruce seedlings are taken, which are planted on the sides of the site. After several years, silvicultural care is carried out by lightening the site and pruning the branches in the rows of only the spruce located inside the site, followed by cleaning by cutting the spruce in the rows. On the sides of the plot, spruce cutting is carried out upon reaching its quantitative ripeness; cedar seedlings or seedlings are taken as a cultivated crop. The soil on the site is subjected to strip processing with the formation of rows, the distance between which is 4-5 m. Planting of seedlings or seedlings of spruce and cedar cultures is carried out on one side of the beginning of the site, where at least three seedlings or seedlings of spruce are planted in each row with a step of 0 .75 m. The cedar culture in each row is planted in a biogroup consisting of 2-3 pieces in a row, and in odd rows the first biogroup of cedar is planted at least 3 seedlings or spruce seedlings from the beginning of the site, and the second and subsequent biogroups in odd rows - after 9 seedlings or seedlings were eaten to the end of each row. In even rows, the cedar biogroup is planted after at least 9 seedlings or spruce seedlings from the beginning of the site, maintaining this sequence until the end of each even row. At the same time, the step of planting a culture of cedar and seedlings or seedlings of spruce in each row is 1 m. At the end of the plot, at least three spruce seedlings or seedlings are planted in each row with a step of 0.75 m, and seedlings or spruce seedlings are planted on the sides of the plot in two adjacent rows with a planting step of 0.75 m. after the first ten years, by continuous removal of renewed forest-forming and undergrowth species from the row spacing. In spruce trees adjacent to biogroups of cedar, a part of the crown facing the cedar is cut off on both sides. At the end of the second decade, clearing is carried out by completely removing the newly renewed forest-forming species and undergrowth species and cutting of adjacent spruce trees with a one-sided crown in the rows of crops is carried out. At the end of the third decade, thinning is carried out by completely removing trees of natural regeneration and felling spruce trees adjacent to Siberian pine, and at the same time thinning is carried out in Siberian pine biogroups, leaving one or two trees that are best in growth and condition.

EFFECT: method ensures the creation of favorable conditions for the aerial part and root system of the cedar culture and effective protection against damage by wild animals.
