Technological directions of reducing the energy intensity of the primary tillage process

Abstract

On the basis of the rational formula of academician V.P. Goryachkin, the definition of the amount of work or energy spent on processing a certain area of the field at a given depth is given. As a result of theoretical studies of field processing by the traditional method, the graphic dependences of the work spent in continuous processing of one hectare of arable land on the depth of soil cultivation are established. The theoretical results strip tillage installed the graphics according to the work required in bandpass processing of one hectare of arable land, of the bandwidth at the maximum depth. Possible options for reducing the energy intensity of tillage in each of the considered methods of tillage are proposed.
