Study of qualitative indicators of road bitumen in the oxidation of vacuum residue from primary vacuum distillation of atmospheric residue
The study was conducted on an experimental plot in the Chirpan region of Central Bulgaria. The technology of sunflower production during three agricultura years has been monitored: 2015-2016 (first agricultural year - FAY); 2017-2018 (second agricultural year – SAY); 2019-2020 (third agricultural year – ТAY). The precipitations that have a significant impact on the growth and development of the plants have been studied, and for the years studied they are respectively:2015 – 770 l/m2; 2016 - 206 l/m2; 2017 – 561 l/m2; 2018 – 721 l/m2; 2019 – 523 l/m2; 2020 – 455 l/m2. It was found that the technological operations carried out during the three agricultural years are similar, as the main tillage of the soil (plowing) is at a depth of 30-32 cm, the first cultivation of 12-16 cm, the second cultivation of 10-14 cm. The sowing was done as follows: 7000 pcs / da seeds at a row spacing of 70 cm, and inside the row 30 cm. The yields from the obtained sunflower production are: First agricultural year (FAY) - 230 kg/da; Second agricultural year (SAY) - 332 kg/da; Third agricultural year (TAY) - 210 kg/da.
