Development of resource-saving technology of rice cultivation on drip irrigation under mulching film in the conditions of the Krasnodar Territory

Abstract

Annotation. Currently, the world market is saturated with modern technologies, software developments, and technological resources to cultivate agricultural products. However, many technologies are not consistent with soil reclamation conditions and the technical capabilities of the economy. This inconsistency causes a decrease in yield and a loss of soil fertility with further degradation and its withdrawal from the fund of agricultural land. This problem has a global scale, and its solution is of strategic importance for preserving the food security of any country. In this regard, our research aims to solve problems of greening rice cultivation technologies by developing innovative resource-saving technologies while maintaining the agro-resource potential of the soils of rice irrigation systems. The rice cultivation technology proposed in the article allows five times to save irrigation water, reduce the anthropogenic load by reducing the number of agricultural practices, improve the reclamation state of soils, and the rice grain's quality obtained by switching to green technology with elements of organic farming. The use of our technologies will make it possible to form the basic principles of rice cultivation on drip irrigation under mulching film, which in the future can be introduced not only on the soil of the irrigation fund of Russia but also on previously rainfed lands. These technologies will fundamentally change the understanding of the fundamental principles of rice cultivation on rice irrigation systems. Also, this technology allows growing elite varieties of rice, which will significantly save on the purchase of seed.
