WAYS TO IMPROVE RICE CULTIVATION TECHNOLOGY IN RICE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS OF KRASNODAR KRAI IN CONDITIONS OF WATER RESOURCE SHORTAGE AND MAN-MADE THREATS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The main task set by the country's leadership is to maintain a sustainable level of agricultural production, including cereals. Rice is one of the crops that determines Russia's food security. Rice cultivation is always accompanied by high labor and resource intensity. The main feature of rice cultivation is its need for a large irrigation rate, about 15-25 thousand m3, although the biological need of rice, according to various studies, ranges from 5 to 8 thousand m3 of water. This is largely due to the need to combat weeds. Weed control is one of the most important stages in rice cultivation, a negligent attitude to which can lead to serious losses in the rice crop and a decrease in its quality. The main region for rice production, with a production share of more than 80%. The area of rice irrigation systems in the Krasnodar Territory is about 240 thousand hectares, of which 117.4 thousand hectares were under rice in 2024. This is due to the shortage of water resources and various man-made threats. Therefore, the goal of our research was to develop a herbicide-free rice cultivation technology to reduce the anthropogenic load on the soils of rice paddies, reduce labor intensity, save water resources and improve the environmental friendliness of rice cultivation. As a result of research conducted in 2021-2024 at the Golovin Grigory Nikolaevich peasant farm in the Kalininsky district of the Krasnodar Territory, a new technology was obtained and tested that allows, while maintaining yield, to reduce labor intensity by more than 30% and does not require capital investments.
