Tillage for agricultural use |
Soil cultivation in a newly developed area usually begins with preparing it for planting potatoes, vegetables, for sowing siderates, perennial grasses and other plants whose root system penetrates deeply. The practice of home gardening shows that it is best to start potatoes and other row crops on a newly developed plot as the first crop; systematic processing of such plants helps to cleanse the soil from weeds and to develop it well for subsequent garden crops. You should not immediately cultivate the soil to a great depth, since in this case deeper sterile (podzolic) layers and soils will be turned up to the surface, on which annual plants cannot grow.
Soil cultivation in home gardening most often consists in digging row spacings to a depth of 20-25 cm under potatoes, vegetables and green manure. For planting horticultural crops, planting pits are prepared 50-60 cm deep for fruit plants and 40-45 cm for berry bushes. Strawberries and raspberries are planted in soil completely cultivated to a depth of 25-30 cm. In some cases, a soil pass for two bayonets of a shovel is used for laying a garden with the additional introduction of large doses of organic and mineral fertilizers and lime.
When planting strawberries in the spring on virgin soil (untreated, turfed soil), from which the development of the site sometimes begins, the land must be dug up in the previous autumn, adding organic and phosphorus-potassium fertilizers to it.
When laying the berry in the fall, the soil is cultivated in the same way in the spring and during the summer it is kept loose and clean from weeds (black steam). In the fall, the soil is loosened and strawberry seedlings are planted. It must be borne in mind that when planting strawberries on virgin soil in the early years, there are many weeds on the site, which can only be got rid of by systematic and careful weeding.Wheatgrass rhizome weed is especially dangerous.
Soil cultivation for woody-shrub plants should be carried out, as a rule, at least a month before planting, and even better in autumn for spring and in spring for autumn planting. K. S. Dukhanin Similar publications |
