Abstract
The article deals with issues related to the territorial and climatic features of agricultural activities in the Russian Federation. Due to the large area of the country, the conditions for agriculture in different regions may differ greatly. At the same time, a significant part of the territory is affected by soil erosion. The main types of erosion are considered. The essence of the process of wind erosion or deflation and its key features are analyzed. In addition to soil erosion, insufficient soil moisture was noted as a disadvantage in a number of regions. A number of solutions to these problems are considered. As a solution to the problem, it is proposed to use a Reaper for two-phase harvesting of grain crops, which is equipped with a device for forming strips of high stubble residues. Formed high stubble residues provide snow retention and allow to counteract soil erosion. The paper deals with General issues of technology and design of the proposed machine. The results of theoretical and experimental field research related to the issues under consideration are presented.
Highlights
The territory of the Russian Federation occupies a very large area
A reaper was developed that works on two-phase harvesting of grain crops by the method of forming a portion of a roll from mown stems, the parameters and operating modes of which take into account the minimization of grain losses and zonal features
Intellectual property is protected by a patent of the Russian Federation for the invention
Summary
The territory of the Russian Federation occupies a very large area. Without denying the positive aspects caused by this fact, it is worth noting the presence of various organizational and economic difficulties due to this. Speaking about the agricultural complex, in various regions of Russia, you can find a wide variety of soils, their combinations, climatic conditions and terrain features. It should be taken into account that with such diversity in our country, only a quarter of the territory has favorable conditions for the cultivation of agricultural crops. A much larger part of the land is subject to adverse impacts, one of which is pronounced wind erosion or deflation, which can occur even on completely flat areas [1]
