DEVELOPMENT OF A MOWER FOR THE MULLING OF OPTIMUM TREES OF TREES IN
Rutkevych Volodymyr – PhD, Senior lecturer of the Department of “Machinery and Equipment for
Agricultural Production” of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University (Sonyachna Str., 3, Vinnytsia, Ukraine,
21008, e-mail: v_rut@ukr.net).
The article describes the current state of soil retention near the trees of the intensive garden. The
disadvantages of the main soil retention systems in perennial fruit plantations and the inappropriateness
of using a wide range of systemic and contact chemicals for the cultivation of fruit and berry crops are
noted. It is established that the most rational and accessible system of soil retention in gardens is sodhumus
with mowing vegetation as mulch. The disadvantages of the lack of technical means in the field of
horticulture are noted: decrease of labor productivity, lack of harvest by 40-50%, the main restraining
factor of introduction of modern highly efficient technologies. The design and technological scheme of
the rotor mower has been developed for mulching of the accessory strips of trees in intensive gardens,
which will allow to increase the water, temperature, air regime of the soil, to activate microbiological
activity in it, to ensure the reduction of erosion processes. The hydraulic drive of the rotary mower is
offered, which will allow to mow, grind and send the plant mass into the adjacent area of the garden for
mulching more qualitatively.
