Abstract

This survey is focused on the solution of the problem related to the development of local irrigation network with a technically reasonable system of mixing poultry litter with irrigation water and of mixture transportation for fertilizer application of vegetable crops under conditions of the protected soil. Theoretical results are obtained with the help of well-known calculation methods of amelioration systems by means of materials of field survey carried out according to academician S. I. Litvinova’s recommendations and V. A. Voznesenskii’s theory of experimental design. Theoretical foundations of calculation of low-head irrigation network and mixer elements for the conditions of protected soil, in case of fertilizer application of vegetable crops with a mixture of irrigation water and poultry litter, are developed on the basis of materials of the experimental survey. The results of surveys can be employed in vegetable production in greenhouses and on the open ground with available local low-head network and a mixer for fertilizer application.
