Among modern agrotechnical practices, plastic mulching has proven to be highly effective in improving soil microclimate, conserving moisture, and enhancing crop productivity. However, the efficiency of mulch application is largely determined by the quality of ridge formation, which depends on the design and operational parameters of ridge-forming working bodies. This study aims to provide a comprehensive scientific justification of these parameters through a combination of theoretical modeling and experimental validation. The research identifies optimal geometric and kinematic characteristics that ensure stable ridge formation, uniform mulch placement, and reduced energy consumption. The findings contribute to the advancement of agricultural machinery design and support the development of more efficient and adaptive cultivation technologies for cucurbit crops</em></p> 2026-01-10 Article NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en https://uzindex.com/id/eprint/4418/1/JUSTIFICATION_OF_THE_PARAMETERS_OF_RIDGE_FORMING_WORKING_BOD.pdf Jumayev, Samandar and Nigmatjonov, Sardor (2026) JUSTIFICATION OF THE PARAMETERS OF RIDGE-FORMING WORKING BODIES OF A PLASTIC MULCH LAYING MACHINE FOR CUCURBIT CROPS.
