CONSIDERATIONS ON MECHANICALLY ACTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR OPENING INTERRUPTED FURROW USED IN TECHNOLOGY OF HOEING PLANT CULTURES, FRUIT AND VINE PLANTATIONS

Lately, there is a decrease in arable land surface while the population grows, therefore the need to increase agricultural production per unit of surface is a must to meet food needs. Water resources are reduced and therefore it is important to promote techniques and technologies that efficiently utilize water from various sources with low energy consumption. In sapling crops, directing water along the plant line or uniform storage is achieved with continuous or interrupted (compartmentalized) furrows. The paper aims to analyse the construction and operation of several types of equipment for opening compartmentalized furrows and how they work.
