Description
Summary:With slope farming, land improvement operations shall be adapted to successfully counteract both wind and water erosion, as well as their joint effects. Paraplowing and chisel plowing are considered the most effective for controlling water erosion in the Western Siberia region, where the steepness of slopes in most areas does not exceed 4-6 degrees. However, even relatively small slopes have large areas where the required direction of machinery movement is difficult to determine unambiguously, while incorrect tillage significantly enhances erosion processes on the slopes. A number of disadvantages of existing tools can be eliminated with the help of a rotary-type blade tiller developed by Omsk SAU. As the machinery moves, the tool creates intermittent grooves of a complex configuration on the field surface, which allow to restrain the flow of melt and storm water. With a working depth of over 40 cm in the middle of the furrow, the tool operates partly as a paraplow keeping the crop residue on the field surface. However, this tool needs further modernization. Therefore, research aimed at creating and improving the tool pieces of tillage machinery capable of working on slopes of complex configuration is currently relevant.
