Description of the SLM Approach
Short description of the Approach
Stubble crop for cultivation of grain crops (spring wheat).
Detailed description of the Approach
Aims / objectives: Crop on the stubble includes. 1) In the spring May 15-25, without special preparations that is on stubble, crop of grain crops is made. 2) Crop is made by stubble seeder. 3) Depth of closing up of seeds of 6-8 centimeters. 4) Norm of seeding is 180 kg per 1 ha. 5) Productivity on stubble is 11,5 centner/ha. The given approach prevents crops from wind and water erosion, goes moisture accumulation in a soil cover and accumulation of organic. Problem of soil degradation is especially sharp in North Kazakhstan, zone of the grain agriculture. For the period of the long-term plugging of virgin land the content of humus has decreased by 5-20% and more. 1.2 billion tons or 28.3% from 4.3 billion tons of the humus stocks of the arable layer (0-25 sm) are irrevocable lost because of mineralizing the organic substance, subtraction with a crop, water and wind erosion. In 70th years in Kazakhstan have developed and introduced soil-protective system of agriculture due to wich has been stopped soils erosion and also the productivity is essentially increased. Before introduction of soil-protective system the productivity in northern Kazakhstan made of 5-7c/ha. After introduction of soil-protective system of agriculture the productivity has raised up to 12-15 c/ha. One of the elements of soil-protective system of agriculture ??¡§ are crop on stubble. In the conditions of Kazakhstan, the plowing and crop should be carried out with preservation of stubble in a fallow field once for rotation. It promotes preservation and rational use of the vegetative rests and moisture reduction of industrial expenses and also increase in productivity of grain crops.
