In article application in practice of zero processing of the soil is described.
Organic agriculture: it is more hobby, than business
All 14 years of farming Yaroshenko Vladimir adhere to bezpluzhny processing of the soil. Tried some it options and came to a conclusion: the best crop happens after chizelya, but from the economic point of view is more effective ploskorez because with chizely processing lasts more long and expenses of fuels and lubricants too more. The minimum technology in comparison with plowing is more favorable: much less consumption of diesel fuel, and rates of processing of the soil allow all works on crops and leaving to do most on the area more than 100 hectares.
The farmer and pesticides doesn’t apply, having developed own system of fight against weed vegetation, diseases and wreckers (strict and strict performance of agrotechnical actions, selection of cultures in a crop rotation). Thus the top yield of wheat was 104 c/hectares, the minimum 50 c/hectares, barley of 76 c/hectares.
As a lack of zero processing the farmer considers that in crops many myshevidny rodents get divorced, and considers optimum application of zero technology once in three years, and in an interval – usual processing, but without a layer turn. He gives reason for the thought requirement periodically to destroy a pluzhny sole which at zero technology is created on depth 5-7 see.
To compensate for the deficiency food elements, and in particular nitrogen, the farmer plans by straw leaving in the field without seal it to the soil since the plowed straw of such effect won’t give (this method long ago is used by farmers of Western Europe). The increase in the content of phosphorus available to plants is planned at the expense of a buckwheat which root system is capable to transfer remote compounds of phosphorus to the readily available.
Unfortunately, environmental friendliness of managing of Vladimir Yaroshenko isn’t reflected which image in its income of realization of non-polluting production (except for bakhchevy). But the farmer believes that society will start to concern landowners who are on friendly terms with the nature more attentively. It is in all the civilized world, it should be and at us.
