New opportunities in joint forage crops

Abstract

The article presents the results of studies of joint crops for fodder crops of maize and soya, sorghum and soya, an experimental specialized "Vega - 8 Profi" seeder manufactured by JSC "Elvorti". Studies were carried out in the production conditions of the experimental farm "Kutuzovka", located in the Kharkiv region of the Kharkov region. During the research, qualitative indicators of the quality of the work of a specialized seeder were determined when sowing combined crops of maize and soy. The received quality indicators provided by the "Vega - 8 Profi" seeder testify to the possibility of sowing one pair of fodder crops per pair. If necessary, it is possible to sow eight pairs of forage crops within the seizure of the seeder. The received quality indicators of the sowing by a specialized "Vega-8 Profi" seeder, in addition to the characteristics of the seed drill, will be used by seeders for the further development of the seeder. The resultant indicators of combined crops of maize and soybeans indicate that, even in conditions of significant drought, joint crops ensured the yield of silage mass of 153.3 c / ha, which is 60 c / ha higher than in the control. In this case, the yield of maize was higher by 30% than on the control. The indicators that characterize another variant of the combined crops: sorghum and soybeans, indicate a significant drought resistance of sorghum.
