The new technology makes it possible to grow plants even in the desert. New technology for growing potatoes in small farms

Modern intensive methods of year-round cultivation of roses and other flower crops are being developed and improved in many greenhouses in different countries. To date, new technologies have been introduced in Ukraine with a complex of automated technical means to many farms in Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan. The elements of modern technology for growing roses is the use of inert and organic substrates (perlite, coconut, pumice, mineral wool, etc.); drip irrigation; a new system for feeding roses with solutions; automotive equipment for the preparation and supply of nutrient solutions, to maintain the microclimate in the greenhouse; equipment for carbon dioxide plant nutrition; illumination with lamps; shading from excess sun, the use of fogging plants for evaporative cooling of the greenhouse, chemical and biological methods protection of flower crops from pests.

Modern intensive methods of year-round cultivation of roses.

Except technical support greenhouses, it is important to properly form promising rose bushes industrial varieties used to get the slice. As planting material for laying greenhouses are used own-rooted roses certain varieties grown from cuttings, or six-month-old oculants obtained by grafting industrial varieties of roses on special promising rootstocks without a biological dormant period to ensure long-term operation of plants in a greenhouse (5-6 years).

The development of roses in a greenhouse depends on the physical and chemical properties substrate, from the correct planting of plants and ensuring the desired density of plantings, from regular and sufficient (but not excessive) watering and fertilization, from the competent implementation of agricultural practices (proper maintenance and regular care of plants, maintaining a suitable microclimate, bending shoots, correct and timely cutting shoots and pruning rose bushes).

Amateur flower growers and small farms that are not able to purchase expensive equipment and build modern highly equipped greenhouses use waste traditional methods growing roses in a greenhouse. Grafted rootstocks of roses, suitable for forcing, are planted in trays, pots or buckets in the first half of October; as a substrate, they take loamy, rich in humus and nutrients soil mixture. Half or two-thirds of the above-ground part is removed from the rootstocks, then the pots are placed in storage or pits of deep greenhouses with optimal temperature 0 degrees. Rosehips on which buds are grafted cultivars roses are in a state of natural dormancy until about December. At a temperature of 5 degrees, the stock and the overwintered bud begin to grow. At the end of January, pots of roses are brought into the greenhouse and immediately cut off over the grafted bud. The first 7-10 days maintain a temperature of about 6 degrees (the root system begins to grow rapidly, and an escape quickly develops from the grafted eye). With the germination of the kidneys, the temperature is gradually increased (by 2-3 degrees every 10 days) to 10-12 degrees, and with good lighting up to 15 degrees. Plants are watered abundantly. After 20-25 days from the time of bud germination, buds form on the cultivated shoot, at this time the temperature is raised to 20-22 degrees. When the buds take on color, the temperature is reduced to 16-18 degrees so that the flower blooms slowly. After 10-12 weeks, roses bloom, depending on the forcing period of the variety.

AT closed ground roses are expelled in pots for sale or for cutting. In the latter case, one shoot is kicked out; all side shoots and buds are removed, and only a short part of the shoot with 3-4 buds is left - shoots are formed from them. After 5-7 weeks, the secondary flowering of roses occurs. With good care, by this time you can grow fully developed rose bushes with two to four main shoots. For distillation, occulants of cut rose varieties of tea-hybrid and floribunda are suitable. If the plants are prepared for sale, then the oculants are pinched over 3-4 leaves. The shoot becomes woody, buds quickly form in the axils of the leaves, which later germinate and form 2-3 stems. After 12-15 weeks receive flowering plants. For this purpose, hybrid tea, polyanthus and floribunda roses are used. Starting from April, rearing is carried out in greenhouses. In this case, seedlings suitable for sale are obtained after 7-9 weeks. In greenhouses, rose planting material is obtained 5-7 months earlier than in the nursery.

In greenhouse conditions, roses are often propagated by grafting. Rosehip seedlings with a branched root system and a root collar of sufficient length and thickness are planted in autumn in pots with a mixture prepared from four parts of soddy soil and one part of humus. In winter, they are stored in the basement or greenhouses, and from mid-December to April they are grafted. Three weeks before the start of vaccination, pots with rootstocks are brought into a room with a temperature of 8-10 degrees, then it is raised to 18-20 degrees. After 10-15 days, sap flow begins at the rootstocks - during this period they are grafted with cuttings harvested in autumn or cut from greenhouse plants. Before vaccination root collar the rootstock is cleared of the ground and the aerial part is cut off. Often they are grafted "by the bark": the bark is cut longitudinally on the root collar by 2-3 cm, the edges are bent with a knife and a scion cutting with 1-3 buds is inserted into the cut. The place of vaccination is tied polyethylene film. Pots with grafted plants are dug into sawdust or peat in boxes, and covered with sawdust 1-2 cm above the cuttings. From above, the boxes are covered with frames or film, maintaining a temperature of 22-25 degrees and often spraying with water. When a shoot appears and several leaves are formed on the scion, the pots are removed from the box and placed on the greenhouse racks. In some Baltic farms, rootstocks are not planted in pots since autumn, but are added dropwise in a basement or greenhouse. In mid-December, they are taken out, the aerial part is cut short and brought into the greenhouse, where they are placed in rows in boxes, shifted with damp moss or peat. Within 2 weeks, the temperature is maintained at 16-18 degrees and frequent spraying is carried out. Those rootstocks are suitable for grafting, in which the bark is well separated; they are grafted with a cutting for the rootstock bark. Vaccinations are buried in boxes with peat or shifted with damp moss, covered with sawdust. The boxes are closed with frames or plastic wrap, sprayed several times a day, maintaining a temperature of 20-25 degrees. After 3 weeks, with the appearance of 2-3 leaves, they are planted in pots and placed on racks in the greenhouse. Further care normal (temperature 18-20 degrees, shading from the sun, gradual hardening in the spring). Then the roses are planted in pots in open ground. In some farms of Ukraine, roses in greenhouses are propagated by budding. To do this, in early October, the wild rose is dug up, sorted by the size of the root neck (8-12 mm), shoots up to 25 cm long and roots up to 20 cm long are left, tied in bunches of 100 pieces and added dropwise for temporary storage in open ground. With the onset of frost, they are transferred to the basement with a temperature of 2-3 degrees, where they are folded in tiers, sprinkled with wet sawdust. In late October-early November cut varietal cuttings(from roses in open or closed ground) and immediately remove the leaves, tie them in bunches of 100 pieces according to varieties, moisten in a solution iron sulphate(300-400 g per 10 liters of water) and stored at a temperature of 1-3 degrees, lightly sprinkled with sawdust. From the beginning of December to March they bud. Oculants are placed slightly obliquely up to 300 pieces in boxes (60x40x20 cm) with wet coniferous sawdust, provided with labels. Roses are stored on racks at a temperature of 20-25 degrees for 20 days until callus is formed on the scutes, and on the stock - young leaves and roots. It is important to constantly maintain the desired moisture content of sawdust, preventing them from drying out or waterlogging. Oculants are removed from the racks and, without taking them out of the boxes, they are cut 2 cm above the eye. Then they are transferred for 30-35 days to the basement (3-4 degrees), so that the formed roots become slightly lignified. After that, they are planted in plastic bags (20x25 cm) with four small holes (two at the base and 5-6 cm above); substrate from soddy land, humus, sand or coniferous sawdust(2:1:1) with the addition of complex fertilizer (1 kg per cubic meter of substrate). When planting, the substrate is slightly compacted and the oculants are released from the strapping. Bags with plants are placed in a greenhouse (20-22 degrees) on racks with bottom heating. After 10-15 days, the eyes of the occulant begin to grow. In 20-25 days, the grafted shoots reach a length of 12-15 cm. They are pinched, transferred to a cool place (10-12 degrees), where they are kept until planted in the ground or sold - during this time a rose bush is formed and even blooms. Care consists in periodically moistening the substrate and top dressing every 10 days. One bucket of fresh mullein or bird droppings(1:10) is spent on 100 bags. From mineral fertilizers, a 0.5% solution of ammophos is used at the rate of 10 liters per 100 oculants. The main advantage of this method is the high yield of seedlings (75%).

AT climatic conditions Many species of trees are transplanted in Ukraine, both coniferous (spruces, pines, arborvitae, larches, junipers) and deciduous (oaks, maples, birches, aspens, chestnuts, ash trees, mountain ash, willows). There is a general pattern; how older plant, the less likely it is to successfully transplant. True, some breeds (for example, junipers) are very capricious at any age.

All modern technologies can be divided according to the type of material used into:

Trees grown in nurseries (in containers or natural soil),

Trees brought from forest parks.

When choosing one or another planting material, it is necessary to know the specifics of its cultivation.

Large-sized nurseries

This is the most prepared material for transplantation. Every 2-3 years, nursery trees are reshoveled - dug up and planted in a new place, pruning root system and changing the location of the plant in relation to the cardinal points. This technology allows you to form an even crown, a strong and small root system, and increases the resistance of the tree to transplants. Among other things, these plants are provided with timely top dressing and regular watering.

Specialists of many firms have been checking the survival rate of exotics in our climate for several years, conducting their preliminary acclimatization on landing sites.

Trees in containers

Large-sized in containers (on average, they reach a height of 3-4 m), the system of such a plant develops over several years in a limited space, as a result of which it experiences practically no "stress" during transplantation. This is an undoubted advantage of container trees over other types of planting material. The second advantage is the possibility of transplanting during the entire growing season without interfering with the vital activity of the plant.

Planting material from forest parks

Transplanting trees from an ordinary forest is a feature of the practice of Ukrainian landscapers. The company enters into an agreement with the forestry, after which they select healthy and well-formed trees and dig them up. There is also a practice of buying plants "in cultures" - these are trees from plots located near the nursery. For example, a large-sized tree was purchased by the owners of a summer cottage several years ago, and now they agree to sell the grown tree to a landscape company. Unlike forest park plants, these trees have already been overschooled once, so the likelihood of their successful establishment is greater.

For each agronomist - farmer, obtaining the maximum yield of crops per unit area is a paramount task.

As you know, the yield of any crop is determined by a number of factors. First, the variety plays a decisive role - its potential, genetically inherent productivity. According to scientists, the contribution of the variety to the realization of the yield is up to 70% (Boroevich, 1981; Riley R., 1981; Zhuchenko A.A., 1990). And, secondly, the conditions for the cultivation of agricultural crops, allowing to maximize the potential of the variety.

Modern systems agriculture is the most important tool for the further development of agricultural production. First of all, by means of them it is necessary to provide the most favorable conditions for the growth and development of plants. This is possible under the condition of timely and high-quality implementation of all methods of technology (tillage, fertilization, compliance with deadlines, norms, sowing methods, etc.). The most important factor intensification of agriculture is the level of application of organic, mineral fertilizers. The enormous importance of fertilizers in increasing soil fertility and crop yields has been proven by numerous experiments, centuries-old practice of world agriculture. According to experts, the use organic fertilizers in combination with mineral, with their proper application, it provides a yield increase of 40-45% in the black earth regions and up to 60-75% in the Non-chernozem zone of Russia (Solovyeva, 2010). Correct use fertilizer contributes not only to obtaining a high yield, but also to improve its quality and maintain an active biological and economic balance of nutrients.

However, the use of fertilizers in high doses, without taking into account the biological characteristics of plants, soil properties often does not give the expected result, and even leads to a decrease in yield and its quality, pollutes environment. At the same time, in many regions of the country there is an acute problem of maintaining soil fertility. AT modern conditions when using new varieties and progressive technologies their cultivation, taking into account the soil and climatic conditions of each region and zone, it is necessary not only to ensure a further increase in the production of various crop products, but also to focus on more eco-friendly farming systems.

One of essential elements of these technologies is the application of the most effective forms of fertilizers. AT last years In world practice, the share of using fertilizers in liquid form is increasing, which is due to a significant economic effect in their use, as well as a significant reduction in the environmental burden on the environment. The use of liquid forms of fertilizers improves the supply of nutrients to agricultural plants due to their availability. Liquid complex fertilizers contain both the main components (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and trace elements, they can be applied more evenly using different stages crop vegetation: when sowing and foliar top dressing. In turn, the intensity of absorption by plants of nutrients from the soil depends primarily on temperature, humidity, pH level, the development of the root system of the culture, the activity of microorganisms and the use of basic fertilizers. Deficiency of trace elements (such as Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, B) occurs mainly on carbonate soils, that is, when high level pH. Sandy acidic soils have low level availability of mobile forms of boron, copper and molybdenum. At low temperatures, plants slowly assimilate manganese and zinc, and at high temperatures, boron, iron and copper become inaccessible. In such conditions, during the critical phases of plant development, it is necessary to apply foliar feeding.

No less important role in increasing crop yields and improving their quality than the use of fertilizers or plant protection products is played by growth regulators that allow you to control the process of plant growth and development, which allows you to fully realize their life potential. The use of plant growth regulators in combination with microfertilizers maximizes the effectiveness of their action.

The DOLINA group of companies, which has been working in the agricultural sector for more than nineteen years in the study, development and implementation of plant growth stimulants and microfertilizers in agricultural production, offers its developments that meet the requirements of modern farmers: growth stimulator VIMPEL ® and liquid microfertilizer ORACUL ® for foliar feeding of field, vegetable, fruit, berry, ornamental crops, flowers, meadow and lawn grasses(http://www.dolagro.ru/ru/catalogue).

VIMPEL® is a complex natural-synthetic preparation of contact-systemic action for the treatment of seeds and vegetative plants. It is an environmentally safe drug with the properties of an adaptogen, cryoprotector, thermoprotector, antistress agent, disease inhibitor, soil activator, adhesive. It contains polyethylene oxides - 770 g/l, washed salts of humic acids - up to 30 g/l (http://www.dolagro.ru/ru/catalogue-plant-growth-stimulants).

Scientific substantiation of the use of the drug VIMPEL®

Polyethylene oxides with a low molecular weight easily penetrate into tissues, while acting as a transport agent for all drugs used in conjunction with the VIMPEL® stimulant. There is a structuring of free intracellular water, its biological activity increases, respectively, the process of growth, photosynthesis, regulation of transpiration and intensity is accelerated mineral nutrition(growth stimulator).

Polyethylene oxides with a higher molecular weight have a film-forming ability, thanks to which VYMPEL® acts as an adhesive that ensures complete wetting and fixation of the drug on seeds or plant leaves, thereby increasing the effectiveness of plant protection products, microfertilizers and biological products.

The joint action of all polymers increases the osmotic pressure directed into the cell, improves protein metabolism, which is expressed in the synthesis of stress proteins, as well as an increase in the amount of sugars in the plant. These changes make the plant organism more resistant to adverse environmental factors (adaptogen, cryoprotectant and thermoprotector). Plants tolerate high and low temperatures better. Relieves stress after pesticide treatment (antistress agent).

The decomposition products of polyethylene oxides - ethanolamines are the nutrients of the plant cell.
Polyethylene oxides used with fungicides exert their dehydrating effect on fungi and bacteria. Drying of a microbial cell, on the one hand, reduces its biological activity, and on the other hand, increases its susceptibility to the action of the drug. This is the antimicrobial effect of the drug VIMPEL® (disease inhibitor).

The washed salts of humic acids, which are part of the preparation, contain necessary for the plant trace elements. The presence of these salts enhances root formation, improves nutrition, which contributes to the activation of the growth of the aerial parts of plants.
VIMPEL® activates plant root secretions and the activity of soil microorganisms, which is manifested in increased CO2 release and nitrogen fixation (soil activator). The active substances that make up the drug VIMPEL enhance each other's actions and give it multifunctionality and high efficiency.

The effectiveness of the use of the drug VIMPEL® on agricultural crops

Numerous experiments have proven the effectiveness of the drug on field crops, among which cereals are of the utmost importance.

The use of the plant growth stimulator VIMPEL® for the treatment of winter wheat seed (300-500 g/t) creates a protective shell around the seeds, protects against negative impact environment and inhibits the development of superficial infections (alternariosis, helminthosporiasis, fusarium and others). It also enhances the effect of biological products, protectants and removes the inhibitory effect of pesticides on plant embryos. In addition, the effect of the drug increases the intensity of germination and field germination of seeds up to 10%, stimulates the active growth of the root system and seedlings and increases the overall tillering rate by 33%. The treatment of winter wheat plants with a growth stimulator in the tillering phase in autumn increases the sugar content in the tissues of winter crops, which improves the overwintering of plants. At the same time, treatment during the tillering period in autumn at a rate of 300-500 g/ha accelerates metabolic processes in tissues, plants absorb nutrients from the soil and micronutrient fertilizers more intensively with foliar top dressing, the top dressing efficiency increases by 30%, levels out the phytotoxic effect of pesticides and brings plants out faster. from stress, which is manifested in the intensive growth of the vegetative mass. The action of the drug exhibits the properties of an adhesive and enhances the effectiveness of pesticides by 20-25%, increases the root system and vegetative mass, and also enhances drought resistance and winter hardiness of plants.

The use of VIMPEL® 300-500 g/ha during the resumption of vegetation in the spring allows plants to quickly recover after overwintering, enhances the growth of the secondary root system, increases the frost resistance of plants by 3-5 ° C at spring frosts, strengthens the immune system of plants, increasing resistance to disease, accelerates metabolic processes in tissues. As a result, plants more intensively assimilate nutrients from the soil and micronutrient fertilizers with foliar top dressing, the efficiency of top dressing increases by 30%.

Treatment from the end of tillering to milky-wax ripeness, inclusive, with the plant growth stimulator VIMPEL® 300-500 g/ha eliminates the phytotoxic effect of herbicides and quickly removes stress from plants, which is manifested in an intensive increase in vegetative mass, increases the efficiency of pesticides and fertilizers by 20- 30%, stimulates the processes of ear formation (ІІІ -VI stages organogenesis), enhances drought resistance and heat resistance of plants, increases the yield and quality of grain.

Tests carried out at the Krasnodar Research Institute of Agriculture named after P.P. Lukyanenko (Krasnodar) showed that the use of the drug VIMPEL® on winter wheat when treating seeds at a dose of 500 g/t provides an increase in yield of 5.7 centners/ha; when processed along the leaves in the tillering phase at a dose of 0.5 kg/ha, together with the herbicide, it provides an increase of 2.8 centners/ha.

Data from scientific institutions and practical experience prove that the use of the recommended technology for growing winter crops in spring period, improves grain quality (protein content increases by 0.9-3.0%, gluten content by 1.5-2.0%), and the yield increases by 5.6-16.9 c/ha.

Plant growth stimulator VIMPEL® can also be used on other crops.

The technology worked out on soybeans with the use of plant growth regulator VIMPEL® has proven itself well on peas, chickpeas, beans, lentils. The increase in yield is from 2.5 to 9.3 c/ha.

The use of the plant growth stimulator VIMPEL® in the technology of growing corn gives an increase in yield from 6.2 to 18.2 q/ha. Such an increase is achieved due to the active stimulation of important vital processes of plants, which is expressed in an increase in the number of grains in the cob and the weight of 1000 seeds.

The complex use of growth stimulants and microfertilizers is an economically justified measure. Those agricultural enterprises that have introduced this preparation into the technology of growing sunflower receive an increase in yield - from 2.9 to 7.3 centners / ha, and when growing rapeseed - from 2.3 to 10.3 centners / ha (oil +0, eight%).

According to the All-Russian Research Institute of Biological Plant Protection (VNIIBZR), Krasnodar, the use of the preparation VIMPEL® on sunflower when treated in the phase of 2-4 pairs of leaves at a dose of 500 g/ha provides an increase in yield of 4.2-4.7 centners/ha.
The data of scientific institutions and practical experience prove that the inclusion of preparations of the DOLINA group of companies in the technology of growing sugar beet makes it possible to increase its yield from 53 to 102 c/ha.

By introducing a program for the use of growth stimulants, it is possible to increase the yield of potatoes by 26-98 centners per hectare. At the same time, the quality of products not only does not decrease, but, on the contrary, the starch content in the tubers increases.
The use of VIMPEL® growth stimulants in cucumber growing technology (seed treatment, then plant treatment in the active growth and during the formation of the ovary) increases the yield up to 79 c/ha with improved commercial qualities of the fruit.

The use of the VIMPEL® growth stimulator in the technology of tomato cultivation (treatment of seeds or soaking of seedlings, then treatment of plants before flowering and during the setting period) helps to increase the yield from 73 to 154 c/ha with improved quality conditions.

The influence of a growth stimulator in the technology of growing cabbage (treatment of seeds and soaking of seedlings, then treatment of plants 7-10 days after planting seedlings and in the phase of head formation) gives an increase in yield from 150 to 175 c/ha with improved commercial qualities of heads. And when growing onions (treatment of seeds (planting material), then treatment of plants in the phase of 5-6 leaves and active growth), the yield increases from 50 to 88 centners per hectare with improved commercial qualities of the bulbs.

The use of the growth stimulator VIMPEL® in the technology of growing root crops (treatment of seeds, then treatment of plants in the closing phase in rows and 10-14 days after the previous one) increases the yield from 125 to 145 centners per hectare with improved commercial qualities of root crops.

When growing fruit crops(processing in the phases before flowering, after flowering and when the fruits of the apple tree reach the size of a walnut) the use of the stimulant increases the yield to 323 c/ha with improved commercial qualities of the fruit. And when growing grapes (processing in the phases before flowering, after flowering and during the softening of berries), it gives an increase in yield up to 55 centners per hectare with improved quality conditions (+2.3 ... +2.9 g/cm3 sugar content).
The influence of the VIMPEL® growth stimulator in the technology of growing berry crops (treatment in the phases before flowering, after flowering and during the growth of berries) gives a yield of 25 to 38 q/ha with improved commercial qualities of berries.

The use of the VIMPEL® growth stimulator in the technology of growing flower crops (treatments in the phases of active growth, before flowering and after flowering) and ornamental crops (2-3 treatments during the period of active growth of shoots) brings the greatest effect.

Conducted production tests in a number of agricultural enterprises have shown the effectiveness of the use of the drug VIMPEL® on various crops.

In OOO "Skif" Krasnodar Territory Starominsk district used the drug VIMPEL® on large-fruited sunflower: they processed 2-4 pairs of leaves in the phase at a dose of 500 g/ha and received a significant increase in yield by 2 centners/ha. On corn, treatment in the phase of 3-5 leaves at a dose of 500 g/ha, together with the herbicide, provided an increase in grain by 9 centners/ha. In the farm "IP Head of the KFH Zavadsky V.I." Tbilisi region on corn, treatment with VIMPEL® in the phase of 3-5 leaves at a dose of 500 g/ha, together with the herbicide, provided an increase of 5 centners/ha, and on sugar beet processing in the phase of 2-3 pairs of leaves at a dose of 500 g/ha together with a herbicide - an increase of 50 centners/ha.

It is important to note that VIMPEL® can be combined in any tank mixes. When using such tank mixes in conjunction with VIMPEL®, the effectiveness of the use of biological products, micro- and macrofertilizers, and pesticides is enhanced. The effect of using the stimulator and micronutrient fertilizers simultaneously with herbicides in the form of a tank mixture during the spring treatment of winter crops is that the cultivated plants get out of the stress state faster, and the weeds die, that is, VIMPEL® works for cultivated plants as an anti-stress agent. In addition to the increase in yield, there is also a subsequent increase in product quality. If we treat the seeds of winter wheat, and then twice vegetating plants with preparations of the DOLINA group of companies, as a result we get not only a significant increase in yield, but also grain of a higher class, i.e. high in protein and gluten. The content of gluten in it increases by 1.5-2%.

Summarizing the above, we can name the main economic benefits of using the drug:
1. Improving the quality indicators of products by increasing the content of protein, gluten, sugar, etc.
2. No additional processing costs (use in tank mixes).
3. Increased drought resistance and plant immunity.
4. Increased winter hardiness and frost resistance by 3-5°C.
5. Increased yield.
6. Increasing the efficiency of using pesticides and fertilizers by 20-30%.
The economic benefit from the use of plant growth regulator VIMPEL® many times exceeds the cost of its purchase!

At the request of many of my friends, I will tell you how I grow vegetables. In this way, many gardeners are already planting. I'll try to explain to you. I work, so I can only go to the summer cottage on weekends. At the same time, you need to relax after a working week, eat barbecue, take a steam bath, and, well, work a little on the ground.

Currently, there are several problems in horticulture: soil fertility is declining; the earth becomes dense, depleted and has grey colour. At the same time, a drop in fertility entails a decrease in harvested crops. The use of mineral fertilizers and pesticides leads to contamination of soil, water, air and food, which leads to human diseases. Traditional agricultural practices used by most gardeners are very labor intensive. And this reduces the interest in gardening among young people.

However, all these problems are easily solved if "natural" farming is used instead of traditional farming. Such agricultural technology not only preserves, it also restores soil fertility. The result is an increase in the yield of horticultural crops. Mineral fertilizers are not used, which preserves the purity of nature and human health. A number of horticultural operations in natural agricultural technology are used less frequently than in traditional ones. And some are completely missing. All this reduces the labor intensity of cultivating the land and caring for plants.

In my opinion, it is more important to return to nature and forget the postulate that the soil must be stuffed with fertilizers, torn with shovels and sprinkled with pesticides. Natural farming is, first of all, gentle tillage, protecting it from temperature changes, returning nutrients that the earth has generously given to plants.

Every year, in the spring, when we come to our summer cottage, we sow or plant vegetables in our beds. The size of the beds is from 1.4 meters to 2 meters wide, the paths between them are from 20 to 40 cm maximum. It is called traditional way planting vegetables in the garden. The plant in such beds, especially in the middle, often get sick, rot, and because of this they develop poorly, vegetables are small, and are not stored for a long time. But the pests get a weakened plant and good nutrition, near which offspring can be postponed. Weeding and processing such beds is one torment. But on such a bed, I saw one positive side. The outermost plants, relative to those located in the middle, looked more worthy. The larger ones are not prone to disease and are easy to weed, thin out, etc.

I also thought about another factor. A single tree along the alleys within the city, no one feeds it, the foliage that it throws off, and then they try to remove it for appearance and beauty. Although this foliage could serve as top dressing for the tree. So why does this tree exist, and where does it get its food? In recent years, scientists have found that about 60% of plants take food from the air. This, of course, is interesting.

The unpredictability of our Far Eastern climate, high temperature fluctuations, night and day, dry or rainy summers, excessive precipitation by the end of August and the beginning of September confirmed the methods of growing vegetables that I had chosen over many years of trial and error.

I came to the conclusion that we need to look for another way that is less time consuming, but at the same time with the possibility of obtaining higher yields. I combined two technologies:

"Reds" - a unique vegetable growing technology for small areas.
"Agrotechnics of natural farming".

I became convinced that it is organic matter that can reveal all the possibilities of plants, saving time and energy. Only on good compost can one see and appreciate the quality of Western and domestic varieties: most of them are created for organic soil. I am sure that we can’t get away from organic matter. Just something to do: learn how to compost and also arrange stationary beds - once for many years.

Vegetable growing on narrow ridges was developed by J. Mittlider in the 70s of the last century and brought by the author to Russia in 1989. But blindly copying techniques and advice, even the best, will not lead to anything. There must be a creative approach to understanding the biological laws of the culture itself and the processes that occur during its cultivation. Mittlider has one drawback (this is my opinion): when using mineral fertilizers, the taste of the fruit is unnatural. To fix it - I instead mineral dressings I use humus, ash, manure, herbal infusion, etc. (I am a supporter of organic fertilizers). I am for a clean ecological product.

But do not take mineral fertilizer as a poison. The only thing is to keep the dose. It is better to underfeed a plant than to overfeed it. What I am especially grateful to J. Mittlider for is the development narrow beds. Although Mittlider does not recommend putting the box on narrow beds, I still knocked together the boxes. Nature itself told me this. In the spring, many summer cottages floods, the water does not have time to go, there is water in the aisles. We have the same problem in late August and early September - it rains day and night. Yes, and in the middle of summer it can rain for 2-3 days, or it can flood the entire garden in half an hour. Therefore, raising the beds 15-25 cm above the path solves this problem. The width of the ridge is 80-100 cm, the length is arbitrary. The gap between the beds is 60-80 cm. It just seems that the earth in the aisles walks uselessly. It is the passages that work, and how!

A vegetable container is a high bed, the walls of which are made of bricks, logs, timber, boards, stone, slate ... The beds stretch from north to south. The passages between them can be mulched with sand, sawdust, roofing felt, etc. I preferred the lawn, which I cut with a trimmer once a month. Some passages I covered with sawdust. The beauty of the garden leaves no one indifferent. There are no weeds, the site is clean and beautiful. The box-box is filled with organic matter. Plant residues (grass, straw, leaves) are put down, then compost or manure, or we pour infusions of herbs and the like, and earth from the passages is put in the top layer. Thus the box is filled.

Each bed is 2 rows of vegetables, planted along the edges in a checkerboard pattern between vegetables. There is a huge reserve of productivity hidden in this geometry. It has long been noticed: the outermost plant develops almost twice as well as those in the middle - they have much more light and space for growth. And here - all the plants are extreme. A wide aisle is also needed in order to give them light and space. A small area of organics gives more than big square soil. Anyone who has worked on narrow ridges for at least one season is convinced of the enormous possibilities of this method and simply cannot return to traditional technology. Working on the ridges, a person experiences joy not only from good harvest but also from the process of growing vegetables. The beauty of the garden, which looks more like a park, leaves no one indifferent. There are no weeds, the site is clean and beautiful.

In two rows in a checkerboard pattern, I plant cabbage, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, etc. In four or three rows, I plant onions, garlic, beets, lettuces, radishes, carrots, etc. This approach requires material costs in the first year for the construction of the beds. This tiny flaw makes the container inaccessible to most summer residents. But such a bed has been working for several years, one might say forever (you only need to replenish it with waste, plant debris, foliage, etc.). After digging, sow green manure. When planting, do not add compost or rotted manure into the hole. This bed itself is compost. The humus is not washed out, as the bed is fenced.

According to many agronomists, 60-80% of plants get their nutrition from the air, so large passages play a significant role in the biological process of the plant. The culture receives good light and sufficient air flow. About 30% of the plant receives food from the ground. Naturally, the consumption of organic and mineral fertilizers on a narrow bed is 2 times less compared to a standard bed. At the same time, you will get a much higher yield from a narrow bed. I have tested this for several years.

And so, the main advantages of such beds:

They contain a large amount of nutrients, a supply of moisture.
Convenient watering.
No stagnant water.
Do not require hilling.
They do not require weeding if the beds are mulched.
They do not require digging, only loosening by 7-10 cm.
Can be produced early landing, since the beds in the spring warm up faster than usual.
Narrow beds are easy to rotate. Where onions were planted last year, this year you can plant carrots or cabbage. The beds are all the same width.
Yields are increased by 100% or more.
Tubers and roots are clean and without visible signs of disease.
Beautiful and easy to work with.
Occupy a minimum of space, do not create dirt and mess.

It is very convenient to make shelter with plastic arcs, which are sold in seed stores. We put 2 pegs on both sides of the beds and put an arc on them. The distance between the arcs is about a meter. Depending on the length of the beds, you set the desired number of arcs. Covering material or foil can be used over the arches until the danger of frost has passed.

This system of narrow beds allows me to get constantly high yields, independent of the vagaries of the weather and the conditions of the site itself. By your votes, I will know if you are interested in this topic.

Dutch inventor and investor Peter Hoff is a former flower exporter. Spending whole days among the plants, he noticed how in the evenings condensation accumulates on the lilies, which is then absorbed by the leaves. These observations formed the basis of a unique business idea and prompted Hoff to create a device that allows farming in places with an unfavorable climate. Having sold flower business, the entrepreneur has invested about $7 million in new technology.

AquaPro, founded by Peter Hoff, is the manufacturer of the Groasis Waterboxx, an experimental device that stores water and protects a sprout or seedling from harmful environmental factors.

Tests carried out in the Sahara Desert have shown that out of 100 trees planted using the new Groasis cultivation technology, 88 trees survive. According to the inventor, in similar climatic conditions, without the use of Groasis plant growing technology, only about 10% of plants survive - even with daily watering.

PLANT GROWING TECHNOLOGY - WHAT IS THE SECRET:

Waterboxx is a polypropylene container the size of a laundry basket, having a through hole in the form of a tube tapering upwards, through which a sprout or seedling breaks; while the roots of the plant are in the ground. During planting, 15 liters of water are poured into the container. After that, the plant does not need watering for 3-4 months: Waterboxx independently replenishes the water supply by collecting moisture particles from the air. At night, the lid of the container cools faster than the surrounding air. On the plastic surface condensate is formed, which then flows to the center and enters the tank through thin tubes. The shape of the lid also allows you to collect rain water- 75mm of rain per year is enough to keep the water inside the container never dry. Special valve prevents the water inside the device from evaporating.

During the day, the water that has cooled overnight allows you to maintain a cooler temperature inside the pipe compared to the environment, preventing the plant from dying from the heat. The growing device stabilizes the temperature of the soil around the seedling, and also protects the plant from the wind and moistens the soil around it. A small amount of water (about 50 ml per day) seeps into the ground through a wick inserted into a small hole in the bottom of the container. This amount is not enough for the optimal development of the plant, which stimulates the growth of roots in depth. When the roots begin to reach the wetter layers of the soil, the plant enters a phase of rapid growth. This means that further it is able to survive without the help of adaptation. Waterboxx can be removed and used to plant a new plant.

Experiments with Groasis have already been carried out in different regions where the problem of drought is acute or brewing - Morocco, Kenya, Spain and the USA.

So far, the Waterboxx plant growing device is only made in Holland. AquaPro sells the devices in lots of 10 for $275. However, Peter Hoff is ready to establish localized production at more affordable prices in any place where the mass use of Waterboxx begins.

The Plant Growing Device CAN BE USED TO GROW FORESTS WHERE THE DESERT IS NOW, as well as to turn bad land into agricultural land and to reduce the cost of cultivating various plants, including in temperate climates.

The inventor believes that the demand for such devices will be in the consumer market, while they could be sold in stores garden tools PRICE ABOUT $15 PER PIECE.

As you know, the yield of any crop is determined by a number of factors. Firstly, the variety plays a decisive role - its potential, genetically inherent productivity. And, secondly, the conditions for cultivating an agricultural crop, which make it possible to maximize the potential of the variety.

Modern farming systems are the most important tool for the further development of agricultural production.First of all, by means of them it is necessary to provide the most favorable conditions for the growth and development of plants. This is possible under the condition of timely and high-quality implementation of all methods of technology (tillage, fertilization, compliance with deadlines, norms, sowing methods, etc.). The most important factor in the intensification of agriculture is the level of application of organic, mineral fertilizers. The enormous importance of fertilizers in increasing soil fertility and crop yields has been proven by numerous experiments, centuries-old practice of world agriculture. According to experts, the use of organic fertilizers in combination with mineral fertilizers, when properly applied, provides a yield increase of 40-45% in the black earth regions and up to 60-75% in the Non-chernozem zone of Russia (Solovyeva, 2010). The correct use of fertilizers contributes not only to obtaining a high yield, but also to improving its quality and maintaining an active biological and economic balance of nutrients.

However, the use of fertilizers in high doses, without taking into account the biological characteristics of plants, soil properties often does not give the expected result, and even leads to a decrease in yield and its quality, pollutes the environment. At the same time, in many regions of the country there is an acute problem of maintaining soil fertility. In modern conditions, when using new varieties and advanced technologies for their cultivation, taking into account the soil and climatic conditions of each region and zone, it is necessary not only to ensure a further increase in the production of various crop products, but also to focus on more environmentally friendly farming systems.

One of the most important elements of these technologies is the use of the most effective forms of fertilizers. In recent years, the share of using fertilizers in liquid form has been increasing in world practice, which is due to a significant economic effect in their use, as well as a significant reduction in the environmental burden on the environment. The use of liquid forms of fertilizers improves the supply of nutrients to agricultural plants due to their availability. Liquid complex fertilizers contain both the main components (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and microelements, they can be applied more evenly, using them at different stages of the crop vegetation: during sowing and foliar feeding. In turn, the intensity of absorption by plants of nutrients from the soil depends primarily on temperature, humidity, pH level, the development of the root system of the culture, the activity of microorganisms and the use of basic fertilizers. Deficiency of trace elements (such as Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, B) occurs mainly on carbonate soils, that is, at a high pH level. Sandy acidic soils have a low level of availability of mobile forms of boron, copper and molybdenum. At low temperatures, plants slowly absorb manganese and zinc, and at high temperatures, boron, iron and copper become inaccessible. In such conditions, during the critical phases of plant development, it is necessary to apply foliar feeding.
