In this article the economy of the Bakhchsarai area imparts experience on cultivation of vegetables with agrofibre use.
To receive an early crop of cabbage, agriculturists of state of emergency of "Fanels TT", the Bakhchsarai area applied agrofibre. The enterprise it specializes on production of hothouse vegetables, we asked to share experience of application of agrofibre in vegetable growing of the main agriculturist of the enterprise – A.Dmitriev.
When using agrofibre need to construct any framework disappears: this material creep directly on the soil in which poseyany seeds or the sprouts are landed. That agrofibre didn’t blow off, edges of each panel powder with a small amount of the soil. In windy weather it doesn’t rise and doesn’t dart off.
Physical properties of agrofibre to pass through the structure a sunlight, air and moisture leaves unnecessary installation and removal of shelters.
Conditions of growth and development of plants, thanks to that is better at night, than under a film are optimized, heat accumulated on day keeps. The overheat of plants is excluded at high solar activity. In the course of growth of a plant lift agrofibre.
The number of waterings as this fiber passes an atmospheric precipitation decreases and promotes economical consumption by plants of soil moisture.
Subsidence on fiber of condensate harmful to plants that is inevitable on a polyethylene film at air temperature fall is excluded.
Agrofibre interferes with plantation settling by flying wreckers and keeps plants from a hail.
Above-mentioned factors of its application allow to create the best conditions for plants and to receive earlier production, in the bigger quantity, the best trade dress.
For fight against weeds it is necessary to select predecessors who leave after itself not littered soil, with the corresponding preseeding processing.
Term of operation of agrofibre 2-3 seasons. After removal, it dry, turn off, store in a place inaccessible to rodents.
The industry makes agrofibre in density from 15 to 120 g of sq.m. For early vegetables use density from 15 to 25 g of sq.m. In "Fanelstt’s" state of emergency applied such, which density of 17 g of sq.m.
More dense agrofibre of 40-60 g of sq.m use for protection of plants against frosts and winds and as in winter hothouses at a two-layer covering that reduces expenses of thermal energy and excludes formation of condensate.
Dense agrofibre of black color use for a soil mulchirovaniye under long-term cultures.
The market of Ukraine offers agrofibre of various producers: Pegasus – Agro (Hungary), "Viroteks" (Czech Republic), "Tekston" and "Teksfil" (Poland), "Spanbond" (Belarus), "Agril" and "Novagril" (France), "Lutrasil" (Germany). The sizes of rolls on width from 0.6 to 16 meters and length to 500 meters.
