Abstract

The development of new technologies and a complex of machines for applying mineral and liquid fertilizers is going on more and more intensively. Due to the warming climate, more frequent years with arid conditions during the ripening period of plants, the requirements for the complex of machines for applying fertilizers are changing. „Amazonen-Werke“ or „AMAZONE“ is a pioneer in precision farming, differentiated fertilization with the use of automation, electronics and telematics systems in agriculture. The article presents materials of new technical solutions for the introduction of both granular and liquid fertilizers. Especially the development and research of new machines in the arid regions of Russia, allow you to find the optimal solution in the application of liquid fertilizers.

Highlights

  • In western Europe, fertilizers are mainly applied in granular form

  • Research related to telematics, digitalization, new design devices and the development of control programs for agricultural machinery, automation of machine operation processes [1]

  • Despite the increase in the application of mineral fertilizers in recent years, the outlined decline in soil fertility in the Russian Federation and in many countries of the world continues to grow, which requires the improvement of both the technologies for cultivation of agricultural crops – Mini-Till, Strip-Till, No-Till, and agricultural machines with mandatory further increase in the volume of application of various types and types of fertilizers [3]. It is more efficient, according to the available scientific data and long-term joint research of the Samara State Agrarian University with the German company "Amazonen-Werke" to apply fertilizers intrasoil [3] with a corresponding improvement of working bodies and machines in general for soil cultivation and sowing with simultaneous introduction of both liquid and solid fertilizers. An example of such effective machines is the development of the "Amazonen-Werke" company, which presents the Russian agroindustrial complex with a unit with a large-volume (4.2 m3) X-Tender hopper and a cultivator with combined working bodies for longline fertilization – Cenius of various working widths depending on traction capabilities of power facilities – tractors

Summary

Introduction

In western Europe, fertilizers are mainly applied in granular form. This is due to the presence of sufficient moisture and the ability to apply fertilizers in a scattered way from 3 to 5 times during the growing season. It is more efficient, according to the available scientific data and long-term joint research of the Samara State Agrarian University with the German company "Amazonen-Werke" to apply fertilizers intrasoil [3] with a corresponding improvement of working bodies and machines in general for soil cultivation and sowing with simultaneous introduction of both liquid and solid fertilizers An example of such effective machines is the development of the "Amazonen-Werke" company, which presents the Russian agroindustrial complex with a unit with a large-volume (4.2 m3) X-Tender hopper and a cultivator with combined working bodies for longline fertilization – Cenius of various working widths depending on traction capabilities of power facilities – tractors. Disc harrows of the German company "AMAZONEN-WERKE" - "Catros" produced by JSC "Euotehnika" (Samara) and supplied to agricultural enterprises in Russia with a wide range of working widths in mounted and trailed versions with promising structural elements, equipped with special equipment for fine processing soil with simultaneous application of mineral fertilizers when aggregated with a specialized large volumetric hopper for mineral fertilizers - X-TenderT [2]
