The influence of different methods of processing unproductive soils on content of moisture and the value of harvest of barley

The researches are hold in the stationary place situated in the territory of Kostanay Research Institute of Agriculture. Content of humus was 2,33-2,74% in the top soil.

The value content of mobile forms of nitrogen and potassium was above the critical level, and mobile phosphorus was in low-grade. Exchangeable sodium content was 10-17% of the absorption of the complex salinity horizon. In the study area the main source of  soil moisture reserves were precipitation, that were about 264,2-476,2 mm per year.

Variants of the experiment:

1.     Disking + deep tillage (30-33 cm)+ disking (control)

2.     Milling +deep tillage (30-33 cm)

3.     Milling +deep tillage (38-40 cm)

4.     Rotor processing (38-40 cm) +milling

5.     Longline plowing (38-40 cm) + milling

6.     Plantage plow (38-40 cm.) + milling

Therefore used techniques of tillage are important for the accumulation and protection of moisture from losses.

This problem is particularly important for salinity and unproductive soils.

It is known that the moisture content of the soil in the spring depends on the autumn moisture of the top soil, the physical properties and the ability of the soil to absorb water [1]. The future harvest depends on the stock of productive moisture in the early growing season [2, 3].

Contents of productive moisture in average for the years of research:

Plantage plow — 143.1-163.9 mm. humid

Rotor processing — 141.0-154.2 mm. humid

Friable cultivating — 117.8-145.5 mm. humid

Reserve of moisture of control sample was smaller on 11,7-17,7% and 9,8-11,2% with respect to plantage  and rotor plowings (table 1).

Moisture reserves in the first meter of soil barley were decreasing to 19,1-37,8 millimeters in dry years by the end of the growing season, and  in the upper horizon  its content  was falling to 1.5-9 mm and even till the dead reserves.

In comparison  with having productiveness of barley which  on average in the three sowing, variant of the deep loosening to a depth of 38-40 cm, provides a higher harvest (10.6 h / ha) than the variants without deepening (table 2).

Increasing the depth of cultivation on a background of deep loosening on the first culture after a fallow field increased the harvest by 1.1 h / ha, in the subsequent fields of the crop this advantage was saved, but with the removal of culture from a fallow field difference was disappearing. Plantage plowing and rotor cultivating shown the highest harvest (13.2-13.4 h/ha). Harvest of plantage variant was higher by 1.1 a \ ha in the second crop , due to the improvement of agro properties of soil and  advantages of this processing. The fourth crop was in the  more favorable conditions on hydration, which provided the highest harvest in all variants of  experiment. Harvest of barley was somewhat lower on the background of longline plowing , but it exceeded productivity of variant of the deep loosening.

And so creating optimum friability addition and porosity of soil ,  by dint of  various methods of processing, it is possible the most lots of  accumulate  and retain   productive moisture, thereby ensuring   the cultivated crops moisture reserve during the growing season  and get the highest harvest.
