METHOD FOR INTENSIVE GROWING OF POTATOES WITH ENRICHMENT OF SOIL WITH NUTRIENTS AND COLLECTION OF THE COLORADO BEETLES AND ITS LARVAE Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A01C21/00 A01G22/25 A01M5/06 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method includes covering soil with tapes with fertilizers placed inside, in which each tape is a water-soluble biodegradable film in form of at least two separate adhesive tapes with cells formed in the tapes. Peat and manure tablets are used as fertilizers, which fill the cells of individual adhesive tapes. Used tablets are made from a mixture of peat granules and turkey manure, which are dried to an air-dry state, then crushed, mixed and pressed under high pressure, the edges of the strips of tapes are glued around the entire perimeter with organic water-soluble glue. Each glued tape strip with cells filled with tablets is laid on the soil on both sides from the side of the roller directly on the gentle slopes of rows of potatoes, the edges of the glued tape strips are fixed from above with soil. On top of the tapes, an additional layer of a membrane protective screen is applied in form of a black film with a width overlapping the tape, and at least two insecticidal adhesive tapes are glued on top of the continuous surface of the protective membrane screen. After sticking to them from above, when the Colorado beetles and their larvae fall, the adhesive tapes are removed along with the protective membrane screen from both sides of the potato beds. Peat and manure tablets are used, which are water aggregators and are able to absorb water when watered using tubes with droppers. The granules of peat and turkey manure are 1.0-8.0 mm and 0.5-2.5 mm in size, respectively. The components of peat and manure tablets are mixed in the ratio of peat and turkey manure of 3.0-3.5 to 1.0-1.5, respectively, and then pressed under a pressure of 60 MPa into tablets.

EFFECT: method enables expansion of technical capabilities of the integrated approach and production of environmentally friendly potato tubers, as well as the normal vegetation of plants while reducing the harmful effects of pesticides on soil organisms and the environment.
