Complex unit for sowing saxaul seeds on degraded soils in desert and semi-desert zones

Abstract The article is devoted to developing measures to combat soil erosion of lands susceptible to degradation and desertification. These measures are aimed at accelerating environmental management processes and improving ecology through the implementation of new promising technologies and technical means into agricultural production. A combined sowing unit was developed that in one pass prepares the soil for sowing and sows seeds. A unit for mechanical destruction of the seed dome was developed. A technological scheme for the process of sowing saxaul seeds was proposed. Technical specifications for the sowing unit were also developed.
