The invention relates to agriculture and can be used in potato cultivation technology. For pre-treatment of potato tubers using 0.3% aqueous solution of potassium humate calculation 8-10 liters of liquid per 1 ton of tubers. Using the method will increase potato yield and disease resistance.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to agriculture and can be used in potato cultivation technology.

It is known that in the food potato plants mode of growth, development, increase resistance to disease, normalization of the tuber crop quality special role played by minerals potassium and phosphorus.

In areas of mass prevalence of diseases to reduce the resistance of potato plants it exists technological method - local application of high, compared with nitrogen, potash and phosphate standards of mineral fertilizers (1: 1.5-2.0) for cutting ridges or in the process of planting tubers which increases their costs. (. A.S.Volovik, L.N.Trofimets etc. A comprehensive system of measures to protect potatoes from diseases, pests and weeds -. M .: Agropromizdat 1988, pp 5-6..).

The closest technological solution to the present invention is a method of increasing potato plant disease resistance by treating the tubers before planting or in the period of chemicals: fungicides, disinfectants (TMTD, 80% wp - norm 2.1-2.5 kg / t, or polikarbatsin, 80% wp - 2.6-2.7 kg / t, etc.).. Working fluid flow - 10-59 liters per 1 ton of tubers.

To improve the yield and quality of potato tubers in the solution or suspension of these disinfectants are added copper sulphate (0.02-0.1%), extract of superphosphate (2%), ammonium nitrate (2%) and trace elements (boron, zinc, manganese, molybdenum, magnesium, etc.). (BF Hlevnoe, DV Zaikin, etc. Agronomic notebook potato cultivation on intensive technology M .: Rosselkhozizdat, 1986. -... 96 sec.).

The disadvantage of this method of training tubers is that the added complex macro- and microelements comprises a large set of components, complicates the technology of preparation preplant tubers and potato production efficiency is improved significantly.

The aim of the invention is to improve the yield and quality of tubers on the basis of environmentally sound reception improved nutrient status of potato plants, enhance production processes in them, resistance to disease and the competitive ability against weeds.

This object is achieved by treatment of tubers physiologically and environmentally safe active drug - potassium humate (HA) - salt of the humic acid as a 0.3% aqueous solution. Potassium humate - powder dark brown color, contains a complex of high molecular weight multifunctional macro-and micronutrients, easily soluble in water and stored in ionodispersnom state.

A method of processing is performed as follows.

Sorted seed potatoes before planting treated with an aqueous solution of potassium humate and planted on the existing technology. To this day landing prepare 0.3% aqueous potassium humate solution (3 g, per 1 liter of water), which prior to planting or at planting directly treated seed potatoes sorted based 8-10 L of liquid per 1 ton of tubers . tubers sprayer treatment is carried out on the sorting hospital as they emerge in the motor vehicle body or in the opener of the planter at the time of ejection of the tubers in the soil. Tubers must be uniformly wet, avoiding run-off solution of potassium humate, especially on the conveyor sorting hospital.

The treated tubers are planted in the manner previously combs sliced ​​potatoes and subsequently grown by existing technology.

The experience of studying various options for the concentration of the aqueous solution of potassium humate (0.1; 0.3; 0.4%) at the same flow rate of the working fluid (8-10 liters per 1 ton of tubers).

The rest of agricultural machinery potato cultivation (variety predecessor, tillage system, fertilizer, planting dates, care practices, protection from pests, diseases and weeds) was the same.

Example. Option 3: seed potatoes (Volzhanin grade) after winter storage tractor truck was loaded into a hopper sorting hospital, on the conveyor is manually cleaned the sick and unusual potato tubers. Healthy tubers at the exit from the conveyor into the back of the car was treated with 0.3% aqueous solution of potassium humate. For the treatment used knapsack sprayer, spray solution provides small and uniform wetting of the surface of the tubers. Working fluid consumption amounted to 8-10 liters per 1 m of planting material.

Treated tubers were immediately delivered to the planters and planted in the ridges, cut in the fall.

In the experiment had four options (see table). The table shows that the potato tubers grown without treatment with an aqueous solution of potassium humate, tops were less developed. Landings were more clogged, and the weeds are more powerful. Yields of tubers - 191.5 kg / ha, including the output of the coarse fraction - 68.6%, afflicted with various diseases - 18.4%. The dry matter content was 18.2%; starch - vitamin C and 11.8 - 8.4 mg / 100 g

Against the backdrop of potassium humate (0.3%) of potato bushes were more powerful, and weeds - underdevelopment. The yield of tubers in this version - 310 kg / ha or 118.5 kg / rv more control with the release of a large fraction of 79.6%, which is 11% higher than the control. Tuber diseases by 10.2% compared with the control. Key indicators of the chemical composition of tubers were higher.

In a second embodiment of potato tops was more advanced compared to control weeds but, on the contrary, the number and mass - less. tuber yield was 230 kg / ha and 38.5 c / ha higher than the control. Other indicators were at the control level.

The fourth option - processing of tubers 0.4% aqueous solution of potassium humate - key indicators were higher than option 3, notes slightly.

The proposed method for treatment of potato tubers preplant 0.3% aqueous solution of potassium humate amplification technique is effective process potato plant growth, increasing yield and tuber quality, and reduce the prevalence of their illness.

CLAIM

Method preplant potato tubers comprising treating them with chemicals, characterized in that for the processing using 0.3% aqueous solution of potassium humate working fluid at flow rate of 8-10 liters per 1 ton of tubers.
