Ограничения применения колесных тракторов в технологиях растениеводства по уплотняющему воздействию (в условиях Приамурья)

Abstract

The natural conditions of the Amur region are characterized by seasonal soil freezing and thawing. In winter, it freezes to a depth of 2.5 m. In July, it completely thaws. Field work on soil preparation and sowing of early grain crops begins at a time when the soil thaws by only 0.08–0.10 m. In early spring field work, a tractor with high values of normal soil pressures can be used (without limiting the operating weight). The frozen under layer saves the soil from degradation. As the soil thaws, it is necessary to adhere to the established norms of mechanical action on soil, taking into account its physical and mechanical characteristics. The purpose of research is to reduce soil compaction from mechanical effects of tractor wheel thrusters. The objective of research is to substantiate the limits of wheeled tractor use in field work according to the permissible level of sealing effect. Theoretical and empirical methods are applied using statistical processing of experimental data. The change in soil density and compaction effect index are studied depending on the normal load transmitted by wheeled tractor movers. The values of distribution of operating weight along axes, maximum loads and value of compaction effect index of running systems of domestic and imported wheeled tractors used in crop production technologies of the Amur region are given. The limits of change in soil density depending on normal load under the wheel drive are given. The dependence of compaction effect index on the operating weight of tractor, axle load, wheel formula and number of unit passes along the track is established. Recommendations on the use of wheeled tractors in field work, depending on the time of their execution are given.
