PRE-SEEDING TREATMENT PROMOTES THE STORAGE OF MOISTURE IN THE SOIL AND CREATES THE CONDITIONS FOR UNIFORM SOWING OF SEEDS AT THE NECESSARY DEPTH, THEREFORE, IMPROVING THE GERMINATION AND FURTHER GROWTH OF PLANTS.
DECIDING WHAT CULTIVATOR TO BUY FOR THE MTZ (YUMZ, T-150) TRACTOR IT IS WORTH REMEMBERING THE SPECIAL IMPORTANCE OF THIS STAGE, TK. IT IS IT FURTHERLY DEFINING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLANT, INCLUDING THE UNIFORMITY OF RIPENING OF THE CULTURE AND THE QUALITY OF HARVESTING .
In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”
Presowing treatment is performed in order to form a seedbed, evenly place seeds in it, create a fine-lumpy sowing layer of soil, close moisture, level the surface of the field.
The main operations of pre-sowing soil cultivation for spring crops is early spring harrowing to cover moisture and cultivation.
Early spring harrowing is carried out as soon as the ridges of the arable land are dry. Harrowing should be completed as soon as possible. Delay in the implementation of this agricultural activity leads to significant moisture loss and a decrease in yield.
A CULTIVATOR IS NOT A PLOW
The continuous cultivator differs from the plow in that it loosens the soil layer without turning it over. The main task of a cultivator of any variety is to carry out cultivation. A shallow dense layer of earth moves to the surface and turns into a fine lumpy structure in structure, the rise of the ridge does not exceed 4 cm. The layer is subjected to loosening, crumbling and mixing. At the same time, the surface of the field is leveled, the soil receives the necessary fertilizer.
The soil layer, which is qualitatively loosened by the cultivator:
prevents moisture evaporation
forcing heat into the ground
provides an optimal mode of microbiological processes
provides access to beneficial trace elements and nutrients.
WHAT CULTIVATOR SHOULD BUY?
Cultivators for continuous tillage quickly prepare almost any land plot for further sowing. A working machine in motion chops and embeds plant residues, levels and compacts the soil (using a chopping roller with a tooth harrow). The bottom layer of the soil must remain intact, the depth of cultivation is adjustable. Units of this group are designed for weed control and loosening of the soil during its preparation for sowing, as well as for the care of fallows.
Pointed planar plowshares of the cultivator, as well as one-sided ones, are characterized by a small angle of inclination to the field surface (up to 18 °), are used in combination with one-sided paws and in other cases when a shallow depth of loosening and the smallest displacement of the soil is required. The cultivator's paws are most used when caring for vegetables, beets and cotton. In lancet paws, the angle between the blades, at which sliding cutting of weeds is obtained without enveloping and sticking the blade, is 70 - 75 ° for sandy soils, 60 - 65 ° for loamy soils and 55 - 60 ° for chernozem soils. With reduced values of this angle, the number of uncut weeds increases, with an increase in the angle, the blade sticks and the soil becomes unloaded.
Studying the sites of cultivator manufacturers, it is worth remembering that a modern cultivator for continuous tillage is designed for continuous presowing cultivation and fallow processing with simultaneous harrowing.
The KPS-8 cultivator provides complete soil preparation for sowing in one pass, combining several operations at once: cultivation, leveling, high-quality harrowing, as well as pre-sowing soil consolidation with the creation of a compacted bed for seeds in the sowing layer, thereby making it possible to save fuel and lubricants ...
HOW MUCH DOES A CULTIVATOR COST PER TRACTOR?
A quality cultivator must be equipped with a device for attaching tine or spring harrows. The KPS-8 cultivator provides high-quality loosening of the soil to a given depth (5-12 cm) with the destruction of weeds.
The hydraulically folding frame allows: to reduce - the transport width up to 4 m; save time for additional preparation for work; eliminate the need for additional transport for the delivery of two cultivators and a coupler.
The radial suspension of the working bodies ensures the following of the soil relief. Pointed paws of the cultivator are made of steel 65G, the cutting edges are hardfaced with sormite. Steel holders of the paws of the KPS-8 cultivator withstand significant loads
The price of the KPS-8 cultivator (manufacturing plant "Apostolovoagromash") is UAH 210,000. (as of 20.01.2019).
REQUIREMENTS FOR PRE-SEEDING SOIL TREATMENT AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CULTIVATOR
High-quality pre-sowing tillage must comply with a number of mandatory parameters and a number of requirements for its implementation.
First of all, the result of this operation should be a loosened and slowly settling small-lumpy sowing layer of soil, which retains moisture and is able to provide high field germination of seeds and a favorable phytosanitary state of the field.
In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”
Important qualitative indicators of pre-sowing soil cultivation are also the evenness of the soil surface, complete cutting of weed plants, and the absence of clogging of the working organs with soil and plant residues. Also, the creation of a fine lumpy layer on the soil surface prevents moisture evaporation, since the capillary connection between the lower moist and upper layers is interrupted.
In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”
In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”
In just one pass, during seedbed preparation,
the reliable and popular KPS-8 cultivator provides the soil with:
complete preparation for sowing
cultivation
alignment
high-quality harrowing
pre-sowing packing
compacted seed bed
In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”
After processing, the soil should be free from weeds, have an optimal ratio of moisture and air content, sufficient temperature and the necessary nutrient regime for plants in accordance with their biological characteristics. The depth of pre-sowing cultivation should correspond to the given depth of planting seeds and be uniform (the average deviation is no more than ± 1 cm). At the same time, the seedbed must be compacted, and the seedbed must be loose and finely lumpy.
We hope that now it will be easier for you to decide which cultivator to buy for the MTZ tractor (YuMZ, T-150), because it became clear that this should be a cultivator that provides complete soil preparation for sowing in one pass, combining several operations for pre-sowing soil cultivation at once and allows:
save fuel and lubricants
reduce depreciation
reduce the working time of the tractor.
In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”
