PLANNING AND QUALITY CONTROL OF WATER FLOW, MASS AND VOLUME MEASUREMENT BY DIRECT COMPARISON
The article reveals the conditions for overwintering Columbus grass in open ground, in a closed storage, as well as the features of the renewal of vegetation after overwintering and propagation by rhizomes. Columbus grass is effective due to its high yield, but its growth characteristics and agricultural technology did not allow a wide range of specialists with narrow knowledge of agronomy to cultivate a crop for the needs of animal husbandry. Modern processing technologies make it possible to consider this crop not only as a source of feed, but also as a source of alternative energy due to the rapidly and indefinitely growing biomass [1]. Long-term studies of this culture revealed its enormous potential, but every winter, again and again, a huge root mass froze out under cover. And only a case of an abnormally warm winter 2019-2020. put everything in its place, the climatic conditions of this year made it possible to logically and experimentally complete the research and draw conclusions that can be extrapolated to the entire set with confidence saying that the work was not done in vain. Columbus grass is truly a unique perennial crop for the Kursk region. It is long-term not only for the Kursk region and the Central Federal District, it is such by its nature. Our task was to unleash the potential of this culture and in the best possible way bring the results to consumers in the person of feed producers, livestock breeders and a wide range of readers. All ingenious turned out to be so simple, but all 20 years we walked so close about the truth, and it was so obvious, and finally the thought opened the veil of secrecy that kept it by nature at a distance of one step.
