Soil protection energy-saving technologies and multifunctional unit for tillage and preparation of soil for sowing


         At present in the Republic of Uzbekistan lot of attention is paid to the improvement of farming systems and creation of new techniques for tillage, allowing for more efficient soil fertility with minimal energy and labor costs.
         In the country in processing
and preparation of soil for sowing are used different sets of technical means that leads to a significant expansion of the agricultural machinery park in the farms

 and machine-tractor fleets. In this case, the coefficient of efficiency of existing tillers is low, that significantly affects the cost price of agricultural products.

          In the agrarian sector of economy of Uzbekistan share of farms and small farms is equal to 100 %. In this aspect, emerging technologies and machines must best meet the modern methods of good housekeeping of farmers. Each unit of purchased or leased agricultural machinery should be used with best effect.

          One of the main reasons of the low coefficient of tillers using is ways of processing and preparation of the soil for sowing. At the present time, the soil preparation for sowing and sowing of agricultural crops is carried out mainly by stepwise method, i.e. by single-purpose machines in several passes. Single-purpose technology of soil preparation for sowing involves fertilizing, plowing, soil preparation for sowing (disking, harrowing and etc.). Then the sowing of agricultural crops is carried out.

         On the basic tillage for agricultural crops mainly are used traditional general-purpose plows and plows for bunk plowing. Feature of the technological process of these plows, based on forking out of soil layers to the side, causes the formation on cultivated fields the breakup furrows and back ridges. These bumps are typically aligned with the same plows, in four or more passes, or scraper blade. In terms of a constructive, the main drawback of traditional plows is the staggered location of its working bodies. With this location of working bodies, the length of the plow becomes dependent on the width of capture, wherein takes significantly large value in the comparison with it. The increasing of the plow length leads to a sharp increase of the construction metal capacity.

Thus, the traditional technologies, from the point of view of agronomy and economy, not justified because they reduce productivity of labor, increase costs of labor and resources, the soil is compacted, protracted periods of the soil preparation, the soil dries rapidly, that leads to the reduction of  agricultural crop yields.

        Based on the foregoing, agriculture must be provided with such machines and units that meet the following requirements: to provide significant (1.5-3 times) increasing of labor productivity, reducing of the nomenclature of machines of 1.5 ... 2 times and fuel consumption by more than 20%; energy capacity
of operations that are performed by combined units should be lower than the total energy capacity of the operations of the whole complex of single-purpose machines; labor costs at the work of combined units
should be lower than at the work of the whole complex of the replaceable single-purpose machines.

In our opinion, multifunctional soil cultivating unit satisfies these requirements to the full.

       In Karshi Engineering-Economic Institute developed a multifunctional unit on the basis of the combined front plow. It is known that the front plows differ from traditional plows by the small length, independent of the width of capture, by symmetrical balanced compact design and low material capacity.

         The feature of the multifunctional unit is the installation of the exchangeable working bodies on the carrier system of the machine, ensuring the processes of both the main and the surface processing of the soil, and the processing and preparation of soil for sowing of different crops on new technologies.

          Multifunctional tillage unit provides the following technologies:
         - smooth plowing without furrows with the turnover of layer on 1800 within its own furrow. For the implementation of this technology machine is equipped with frontal established left reversing and right reversing plow bodies 1 and 2, and with after plows 3,
which implement the overturning of layers within its own furrow at 1800 , as well as support- ripping leveling roller 4 (Fig. 1a). The mounting of the bodies allows changing the capture width of the bodies, and, consequently, the width of the capture of machine [1];

Figure 1. The scheme of multifunctional tillage unit.

 

      - moldboardless tillage, including chisel tillage. At moldboardless tillage machine is equipped by moldboardless bodies 5 and 6, a frontally mounted on the frame, which implement the left reversing and right reversing of soil layers,  and by the packer - leveling roller 4 (Fig. 1b), and for processing by chisel - loosening working bodies  10 of the "paraglide" type (Fig. 1e) [2]; 

-   moldboardless tillage with band subsoil loosening of soil, prostrated to wind and water erosion. The purpose of the band subsoil loosening is to protect the soil from erosion (retention and accumulation of moisture), the regulation of moisture supplies, destruction of plow sole and decompression of surface horizon. In this case, the unit is equipped by the moldboardless left reversing and right reversing         bodies 5 and 6, by subsoilers 7 and leveling-packer roller 4 (Fig. 1b) [2];    

- processing and preparation of soil for sowing of melons. To implement this technology unit is equipped by the symmetrically located left reversing and right reversing bodies 1 and 2 (in the form of listeral body), short after plows 3,  rippers for shallow treatment, installed at the sidepiece of literal body, subsoilers, wad  crusher 4 (Figure 1c ) and by the device for fertilizing. Rippers 5 and 6 can be carried out in the form of moldboardless bodies. Subsoiler carried out ​​in the form of “paraglide" and installed behind bodies (not shown in the scheme) [3];

         - processing and preparation of soil for sowing of corn and cotton on ridges with simultaneous fertilizing. For the implementation of this technology unit (Figure 1d) is equipped by left reversing and right reversing bodies 1 and 2 with short plowshares, rippers 8 and deep rippers 9 with fat conductors, mounted on the axis of symmetry of the oppositely-directed bodies, wad crusher, made in the form of a convex- concave curve, and the crest doers, as well as a device for fertilizing (they not shown in the scheme). In this case, rippers and deep rippers implement loosening on the formed ridge line by simultaneous local fertilizing.  The left reversing and right reversing bodies, cutting and wrapping layers towards each other, are pre-formed ridges, then wad crusher loosens the soil, after that   crest doers finally form ridges [4, 5].

         In 2007-2011 years in Kashkadarya region of Uzbekistan held the farm testing of multifunctional tillage machine with replaceable working bodies made ​​on the basis of the front plow ÏÔÕ-3. The unit showed a qualitative and reliable operation at moldboard tillage of the soil from wheat, in the preparation of the soil from cotton to the ridge sowing with simultaneous local fertilizing, at reclaimer stockpile and moldboardless tillage of slopes and at processing and preparation of the soil for melons sowing.

The feature of multifunctional unit is its ability to block approach by wheel and crawler tractors.

Thus, the new multifunctional machine may perform methods of processing and preparation of the soil for different cultures with simultaneous fertilizing in the systems of soil protection and irrigated agriculture in the different conditions in all periods of field works. The performed tests have shown that the use of multifunctional combined unit allows reducing labor costs by 25...28%, fueling costs - by 21…25% and operating costs – by 30...35% in comparison with existing machines.
