SUPPORT-FREE TECHNOLOGY FOR MAINTAINING SHRUBS OF BLACKBERRY AND DEWBERRY VARIETIES IN THE COLLECTION ORCHARDS OF KRYMSK EXPERIMENT BREEDING STATION OF VIR by V. N. Podorozhnyi

“…The edges of the polymer film are proposed to be pinned to the ground with metal studs or sprinkled with earth to avoid disturbances of the mulch integrity. The planting pattern for seedlings needs to be denser than the conventional one (with trellises) and is prearranged by digging holes in the mulching film, up to 10 cm in diameter, at intervals of 1.1 m in a row, so that a dripper is placed above the root system. …”
