Machine for carrying out work on deep soiling with the simultaneous application of liquid organic fertilizers

Abstract

The necessity of carrying out work on deep loosening in lands newly introduced into agricultural circulation in soils of heavy mechanical composition, as well as destruction of the subsoil on old arable lands have been analyzed. Requirements for the work on deep loosening of the soil are grounded. The existing designs of reclamation rippers are considered and a passive two-row subsoiler with front shanks of a volumetric structure and rear curved shanks with additional plowshares is selected. The possibility of combining work on deep loosening and application of organic fertilizers to increase soil fertility, water and air permeability, and create the most favorable soil conditions for plant growth and development has been investigated. The existing rates of fertilization have been analyzed and the possibility of delivering an organic liquid to the enlarged pore space formed after soil loosening has been investigated. The influence of the ongoing agro-reclamation measures on increasing soil fertility, creating an optimal water and air balance for the growth and development of agricultural crops and the expected increase in yield are analyzed.
