Combined plough that increases the productivity of grain crops in mountain farming

What is it about?

The correct application of mineral fertilizer norms and the study of effective energy saving methods, the use of fertilizers in soil and climate conditions for the cultivation of agricultural plants are the urgent tasks of modern agriculture.The main problem in the world is the uneven sowing and disturbance of the ecological situation during the application of fertilizers.So, in many developed countries, the mechanization of this field has been given a lot of attention. Many fertilizer spreading machines and equipment have been produced in this direction. However, in this field, accurate spreading of fertilizers and equal distribution in the soil remains a problem. Uneven fertilization significantly affects the characteristics of the crop and causes environmental pollution.The inhomogeneity of the field in terms of nutrients resulting from fertilization is often the main cause of uneven cropping. It causes yield loss in cereal crops, which can reach 25-60% in some years. Our research has determined that, depending on the design features of the spreaders and the quality of the fertilizers applied, the uneven distribution of the applied fertilizers can vary between 40-60% of the norm, which ultimately leads to nutrient deficiencies. It was observed that the productivity of cereal crops decreased by 11-15 centner/ha with the increase of uneven distribution of fertilizers in the field to 70-80%.I
