INNOVATIONS IN TECHNOLOGY OF CULTIVATION OF SPRING CULTIVATED ROW CROPS IN THE ARID STEPPE AGROLANDSCAPE OF KBR
The low-cost technology of cultivation of corn and sunflower in the conditions of irrigation on medium-weight loamy Ciscaucasian chernozems is developed. An innovation of this technology is: 1) use of a biological agents for activization of decomposition of the crop residue remains of winter wheat, sunflower and corn in the system of short rotation, 2) replacement of an autumn plowed land and alignment of a ploughland in the spring by double disk hulling in the fall, preseeding cultivation by KRN - 5.6 by coupled shaving knives instead of lancet pads, postsowing (before the sprouting) loosening of row-spaces for 15-17 cm with simultaneous locally - tape introduction of the main dose of fertilizers. Calculations and production check have shown reduction of labor costs by 14-17%, expenditure economy has made 12-15%, profitability has increased: sunflower for 23%, corn for 31%.
