ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF CULTIVATION OF CUCUMBER ON THE SEED GOALS IN EASTERN FOREST-STEPPE OF UKRAINE

Abstract

It is established that when the cultivation of cucumber seed goals in Eastern forest-Steppe of Ukraine the best way to drip irrigation is. For this method of irrigation fertilizers must be applied locally in soil based N₃₀P₆₀K₄₅ and conduct fertigation twice during the vegetation period on the N₁₅. The obtained yield of conditioned seeds (188 kg/ha) at the lower energy costs (352,7 MJ) on the formation of 1 kg of seeds, and the largest energy efficiency ratio (0,053) by saving water (46 %) and mineral fertilizers (50 %).
