Innovations in the Construction of Stepped Terraces for Intensive Gardens

Abstract

The article presents the results of experimental data on the study of an innovative method of terracing the slope lands of the foothill zone of the Kabardino-Balkarsk Republic for intensive-type gardens. The method allows you to grow trees on the canvas of the terrace in the trenches constructed during their construction filled with a humus layer of soil according to the compacted scheme using weakly clonal rootstocks. The data obtained will allow us to establish intensive apple orchards at various exposures (southern, eastern, western, northern) and parts (lower, middle, upper) slopes on an adaptive-landscape basis, which will contribute to a more rational use of reclaimed land and the production of environmentally friendly fruit products.
