Messages from the Soviet area

2006 comes to an end. Time up came to sum work. On productivity and production of grain around business are not bad. In irrigated agriculture still it is required to improve results on productivity of grain, forage, vegetable crops, on use of the irrigated areas. Once in the area by­lo 19,5 thousand hectares of irrigated lands from which in a year collected on 1,5, and even on 2 crops from an ediyonitsa of the area. 3056 hectares of the physical area and 5636 hectares so-called gektaropolivov now pour down.

About prospects of development of an irrigation, increase in the irrigation areas and to their rational use there was a speech with the head of department of water use of Sovetyosky management of a water management Lyudmila Andreevna Kravchun. Here that she told.

Reorganization of agro-industrial complex concerned also our branch. And places not to the best. Raspayevaniye of lands destroyed crop rotations, especially on an irrigation, broke off on a part vodovydely, distributive and irrigation canals, collector and drainage systems. The quantity of irrigation equipment sharply decreased. High cost too affected fuels and lubricants, the electric power negatively.

But 2006 became rotary in improvement of work of meliorative systems. Farms got 4 new irrigation Bauer cars of production Germany: 2 pieces – SOOO "Dnepr" (head Yury Nikolaevich Morgunov). There watered 172 hectares: these are semennik of a sugar beet, winter wheat, a podyosolnechnik, long-term cereal herbs

On one irrigation car SOOO "Alliance" (head Sergey Dmitriyevich Kopanitsa) got, respectively. Grew up winter grain, a buckwheat, vegetables and SOOO "Kama" (head Sergey Frankovich Shvay). Watered vegetables, grain.

The good beginning was made by the head of SOOO "Planet" Leonid Ervantovich Bogdasaryan. It bought the equipment for a drop irrigation. On the area of 3 hectares vegetable cultures were cultivated. Results didn’t keep itself waiting. For 2007 in an economy planned to increase the area of a drop irrigation to 10 hectares. For this purpose it was necessary to find on additional expenses and to make small reconstruction. At existing pump station No. 129 established in addition low-power (only 11 kW/hours) the electric motor and the pump productivity 45m / hour. Now buy the equipment for increase in the irrigation areas.

Drop irrigation – very economic type of watering concerning water consumption and in economic financial too. So that costs of an equipment priobreyoteniye, its installation pay off with interest.

Not bad used irrigated lands in JSC Novaya Pobeda, SOOO "Dnepr", SOOO "Kama", risoseyushchy farms of JSC Vest, ChMP "Crimea".

In nayostoyashchy time the plan of water use by area farms for 2007 is developed. Everywhere the tendency of increase in the irrigation areas is planned. Benefit from artificial dozh­dya is obvious and will turn back additional tons of grain, vegetables, forages and other cultures.
