Abstract
In changing climatic conditions, the deep continuous loosening of soils can be the most effective alternative measure for expensive reconstruction of existing reclamation systems, and, at the same time, an effective adaptive means for the accumulation of free-soil moisture. The accumulation efficiency depends on the structure of the loosened soil. The value of the proportionality coefficient of the Bond comminution hypothesis was experimentally established, which makes it possible to determine the energy saturation of technical means for loosening a certain soil mass. It has been established that the required capacity of technical means for deep loosening is approximately 2 times less for sandy soil than for loamy soil. So, with a total working width of 2 m, a working speed of 2 m / s for deep loosening (by 0.75 m) and 4 m / s for the basic tillage (by 0.25 m), it is necessary to have the power of 170- 240 kW of technical equipment for sandy soil and 390-440 for loamy soil
