Management of the technological process of irrigation of garden plants

Abstract

Irrigated agriculture has played a very important role in the history of mankind. In many respects, the irrigation technique was highly dependent on local natural conditions, and its development was the process of adapting local plant and water resources to the needs of farmers. The use of land reclamation in modern conditions must be environmentally and energetically justified. Comparing various irrigation technologies for the cultivation of garden plantings, we proposed the introduction of the agrotechnical technique “slitting” into the irrigation technology of garden plantings. Reclamation reception of soil crevice is carried out with a trailed modified unit of the “Slot cutter 2-140” brand, for cutting narrow slots of 3…4 mm, with a chisel located at the end of the cutting body of the slot, for cutting focal reservoirs, followed by accumulation of irrigation water. The research presents a method of cutting slits directed parallel and perpendicular to the aisles of garden plantings. After cutting the cracks, the soil is formed inside the soil - a natural water-intercepting and transporting network of focal reservoirs stretched along and across the entire perimeter of the garden irrigation module. The proposed cutting unit is mounted on a reinforced slot cutter frame on both sides. The distance between the two cutting tools is exactly 2 meters. Such a distance between the working bodies of the slot is dictated by the scheme for planting garden plantings. Irrigation of the garden is carried out by a surface method, i.e. flooding, an irrigation rate calculated for the complete saturation of the soil of the entire area of the garden plot with the lowest moisture capacity up to 100% of the lowest moisture capacity of the calculated meter layer. The proposed technology for irrigation of garden plantations with the obligatory cutting of over narrow slots with focal reservoirs will allow saving water and energy resources spent on the irrigation rate when growing garden plantings.
