Advanced technology for the removal of trees and shrubs on the berms of irrigation canals using the oppression of stumps with chemicals

Abstract

The introduction discusses the relevance and significance of the irrigation canal problem related to the growth and removal of shrub and tree vegetation on the berm and in the bed of the irrigation canal. A number of main problems of shrub and tree vegetation growth on the berm and in the canal bed are described. The presented images show the state of irrigation canals of the Engels branch of the Federal state budgetary institution “Saratovregiongaz”. The research methodology includes a description of the main methods of studying the problem and its representation in graphical form. The essence of the method for destroying stumps and undergrowth after cutting down tree and shrub vegetation along irrigation canals is described. The results of the study are presented using a theoretical description of the proposed improved technology for removing tree and shrub vegetation on irrigation canals of farms using chemical hemp suppression. The proposed schemes of movement of heavy machinery during cultural and technical work on the removal of tree and shrub vegetation are described. A set of spraying schemes is proposed based on the availability of equipment, the rate of consumption and distance of transportation of arboricide, as well as the form of sprayers. The process of operation of the sprayer on the canals depending on the dead-end part of the berm is presented. In conclusion, a General conclusion is made about the proposed improved technology for removing shrub vegetation using brushcutters and spraying stumps with chemicals, as well as about the practical and theoretical significance of the study.
