Abstract

The subdivision of ruts represents the process of periodic formation between their ridges of small soil dams, small pools of water accumulation created in the processed soil with the help of equipment to open watering channels in order to reduce the phenomenon of erosion and to make more efficient use of the water from precipitation or by using sprinkler systems. This is a method of soil and water conservation that is used on inclined lands with a slope of less than 6o or on disturbed land. The practice began to be widely adopted following the use of new herbicide technologies necessary for weed control but also for improving the mechanical equipment for dam construction. In this paper are presented the results obtained from the optimization of the dimensions and the shape of the working body of the PCVM2,2 + EMBC2 equipment used in the compartmentation of the ruts in the vine-apple orchards with calculation of the qualitative indices of obtained work.

Highlights

  • The soil represents the layer from the surface of the earth's crust and is composed of mineral particles, water, air, organic matter and living organisms

  • In the case of sloping ground, the rainwater flows to the soil surface, not being used by plants and at the same time causing soil degradation through erosion, an extremely serious process encountered on one third of the agricultural surface of the country and at the bottom accumulating excess water which causes flooding of plants [1,6,15]

  • By measuring the qualitative indices, a significant difference is observed between the dimensions obtained with the initial version and those obtained with the optimized version, highlighting the influence that this dimension has on the volume of water to be stored by the compartmented furrow

Summary

Introduction

The soil represents the layer from the surface of the earth's crust and is composed of mineral particles, water, air, organic matter and living organisms It is a non-renewable resource located at the intersection of land, water and air and fulfils a number of vital functions: the production of food or biomass, source of biodiversity, habitats, species and genes, storage and transformation of many substances, source of raw materials, heritage geological and archaeological, carboniferous basin, serves as a platform or physical environment for humans and human activities. Changes in the distribution and quantities of precipitation are of the most critical factors that influence the global climate Under these conditions, the need arises to develop new technologies that increase the efficiency of the use of rainwater and to support the quality of the soil and the environment in order to obtain the most profitable agricultural products. Current scenarios predict that climate change will increase the water shortage in Southern Romania [1]
