Winter precipitation - the key to future harvest

In the long-term inpatient department of the crop rotation laboratory, in early February, mechanized snow retention was conducted with IED-2.6 snowpacks, where the distance between the rolls was 3-4 meters. After snow retention snow accumulated above the height of the stubble.

As a result of observations of the state of snow cover during the winter periods of the season of the year, the following data showed. By the end of winter, the thickness of the snow cover, depending on the various agro-backgrounds, reached between 30-45 cm. And the lowest snow height was in a pure pair, which was 22.5 cm. pure steam the fallen snow is torn down in beams or ravines.

When cleaning, where a high slice of grain crops was left, the height of the snow cover reached 45 cm. The density of snow at the end of winter, depending on the various agricultural backgrounds (predecessors), was 0.32-0.36 g / cm3.

Thus, the fallen winter precipitation in the form of snow is used by plants to create a crop of crops in the current year.
