Technological impact on environment in biotechnological system of perennial legumes cultivation

Abstract

Perennial legumes are key ones in creating a solid forage base. A number of reasons limit the gross collection of forage. Specifically, they are as follows: material and technical resources, a low specific weight of perennial legumes, a sown areas structure, and a cultivation technology. Analysis of various technologies for cultivating perennial legumes for fodder and seeds has showed that one of the main rules for ensuring favorable conditions for the crops cultivation is the use of a targeted effect on the soil cover as well as the even distribution of plants over the feeding area. The research aimed to study the influence of different tillage options and sowing methods on the production process (of seeds) during the cultivation of perennial legumes in Western Siberia. The proposed model of the production process has showed that the energy of plant growth is proportional to the dry mass and resource of the nutrient medium. The energy of growth depends on the respiratory activity of the plant and the rate of trimmed root system regeneration, which can be achieved by the appropriate action of the machines’ operating parts in the process of legumes cultivation. The research found that the rate of the Eastern galega developmental phases varied depending on the type of soil cultivation, processing and seed condition, sowing quality. In addition, the agrophysical conditions of soil cultivation and sowing affect the growth of the stem mass of the Eastern galega.
