Resource-saving system of field husbandry mechanization

Abstract

Abstract The distinctive principles of the resource-saving mechanization system of field husbandry have been substantiated. The essence and peculiarity of each group have been revealed. New innovative processes in the field husbandry mechanization have been proposed. For the environmental conditions of the Kuban, a resource-saving mechanization system of field husbandry, which is based on a scientifically grounded farming system for the conditions of the Krasnodar Krai and a system of machines, synthesized by the authors for the integrated mechanization of field husbandry, has been proposed. In the proposed block diagrams of the distinctive principles in the mechanization system of field husbandry and its resource-saving composition, new approaches to the formation of crop cultivation technologies have been presented, using new effective agricultural practices, new machines for mechanized processes, both serial and original, built according to the developments of the authors. The originality of the authors’ developments is confirmed by many patents, as well as numerous publications in periodical press and defended candidate and doctoral dissertations. Based on production tests of imported and domestic agricultural machinery, advantages and disadvantages have been identified. The fundamental difference between the proposed mechanization system of field husbandry from the basic one, is facilitated by modern research methods. Based on the combination of technological operations, the innovative units have been proposed, improving the technology of field crop cultivation and contributing to the preservation of soil fertility, environmental compliance and reduction of all types of costs. An ordered range of technical means in the system has been proposed: all machines are interconnected in terms of technology and productivity, ensuring the production process stream-lining. The work has been performed in the Kuban SAU. The proposed mechanization system of field husbandry should provide a two-fold increase in labor productivity.
