Work quality indicators tillage unit with application flexible working body in systems “Organic farming”

Abstract

The relevance of the research lies in the use of a flexible working body in the form of a cable as part of a soil-cultivating ripping-separating machine. It has been experimentally proven that a flexible working body in the form of a cable as part of an experimental machine provides a more rational redistribution of agronomically valuable soil lumps along the depth of the cultivated layer. When tilling the soil to a depth of 0.03 m, an additional leveling of the soil surface occurs. The combined working body allows for a single pass of the unit to provide high quality tillage and effective control of weed growth. The destruction of dicotyledonous weeds by a machine with an additional flexible working body exceeded the result by 13% obtained without using a flexible working body.
