Strip tillage as an implementation of resource-saving approaches in areas of risky agriculture

Zones of farming with arid climate require scientific justification and competent approach in the field of tillage. The main objectives in developing approaches to mechanical tillage in the field of soil-protective technologies are to reduce erosion processes, accumulate and retain moisture, create favorable conditions for the growth of cultivated plants in the root zone. Reducing the number of soil treatments during the growing season of plants contributes to the ecologization of the soil treatment process and the solution of economic problems. Soil-protective measures also include methods of wind speed reduction in the surface layer. In the article various approaches to the methods of mechanical soil tillage, recommended for use in the zones of risky agriculture on the example of the Volgograd region, are considered. Technical solutions, which allow solving the problems of a modern crop producer by improving the environmental friendliness of agriculture, increasing the crop yield, and increasing the profitability of production, are proposed

New technical solution for resource-saving tasks in chemical plant protection

The problems in the production of row crops are considered. The technical solution in the field of chemical protection of plants, aimed at obtaining high quality products while reducing the cost of production, is offered. The retrofitting of serial boom sprayers with special divider bodies makes it possible to retain the function of continuous spraying with the possibility of chemical treatment in strips at the desired phase of growth and development of cultivated plants. It also describes the possibility of solving environmental problems in the agricultural industry by reducing the chemical load on the soil
