METHOD FOR CHICKPEA CULTIVATION IN A STEPPE ZONE FOR OBTAINING ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE PRODUCT

摘要

The invention relates to the field of agriculture, in particular to a method for cultivating chickpeas in a steppe zone having annual precipitation of 300-350 mm for obtaining environmentally safe product. The technical problem addressed by the invention is that of producing an environmentally safe product of chickpea legume by using biological preparations in a complex when processing the legume and when adding liquid mineral fertilizers and biological preparations to prevent diseases. A proposed technology is intended for southern carbonate chernozem soils of the steppe zone having рН of 7.20-7.32, a nutrient element content of: 3.10-3.15 mg/kg of readily hydrolyzable nitrogen, N-N0₃; 3.42-2.40 of phosphorous, Р₂О₅; 524 mg/kg of potassium, К₂0; a heavy argillaceous mechanical soil composition, and warm period atmospheric precipitation from April through September of 227 mm. The proposed economical technology for cultivating chickpeas makes it possible to obtain an environmentally safe legume product, accelerate the chickpea plant vegetative process and increase the yield of chickpea legumes from 0.34 to 0.36 tonnes per hectare in comparison with economical technology using chemical means and not using mineral fertilizers.
