The Technology Center of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan has developed an innovative injector for a drip irrigation system.
According to the Neutral Turkmenistan newspaper, the invention saves water and creates conditions for the development of microorganisms useful for plants.
The injector is a tube with tubules, which is placed deep into the soil to the very base. It consists of lump sulfur, activated carbon, metal shavings, river sand and oil and fat saopstock.
The injector is connected to the general water supply system, delivers moisture and nutrients directly to the root system. Thus, water does not directly come into contact with the aerial parts of plants, which stops the processes of decay and reproduction of fungi.
In addition, the Technology Center has developed eco-granules, which to a certain extent contribute to land desalination and the formation of beneficial soil microflora. The mixture for them is made from calcined algae, trace elements of thermal mineral water, slaked lime, zeolite and other additives.
The authors of these inventions are scientists Meretmuhammet Khudaiberdiev and Nasiba Charykulyeva, the source notes.
