The influence of black fallow preparation methods on agrophysical properties, soil mois-ture and yield of winter wheat in the Lower Volga region
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The article provides two years of data on the influence of black fallow preparation methods on agrophysical properties and moisture of the soil. In spring, a non-moldboard system for the preparation of black fallow during its development soil density increases by 5.9% and water permeability reduces by 22%, in fall, during the sowing of winter wheat, it increases by 2.8 % and reduces by 24%, respectively. The use of the herbicide in black fallow with a decrease in the number of cultivations increases the density by 0.02 g/cm3 and reduces water permeability by 5.3 mm/h. In fall, during the sowing of winter wheat, the best moisture retention was after classical plowing, which exceeded the non-moldboard cultivation by 0.57% of the soil mass. Integrated weed control measures additionally retained 0.25% (35 m3/ha) of moisture compared to agricultural practices. Integrated measures to control weeds in black fallow increase the yield of winter wheat by 0.06 t/ha for non-moldboard cultivation and by 0.11 t/ha for moldboard cultivation.
