In Kyrgyzstan, an innovative seed sowing method has been introduced for the first time, which significantly reduces the use of fertilizers, increases yield, and decreases the number of weeds. The effectiveness of this method has been confirmed by more than a decade of experience. This was reported by Nurdin Dovletov, head of the Department of Regional Interaction and Land Resources of the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry.
This technology reduces soil acidity and makes sowing more economical due to minimal fertilizer use. For example, to sow 200 kg of barley per hectare, only 10 kg of nitrate is needed.
The essence of the method lies in mixing seeds with nitrate, which is allowed to sit for 1-2 days, enabling the seeds to absorb the fertilizer. The resulting mixture is then placed in a seeder, and sowing is carried out without adding any additional fertilizers. This approach not only reduces weed growth but also improves soil characteristics. When adding 1 kg of lime, the effectiveness of the method increases even further.
According to Nurdin Dovletov, he has been using this method for over ten years, and throughout this time, it has shown high yield results.
The Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry recommends that farmers pay attention to this technology as an effective and economically viable tool in agriculture.
