Abstract

The most critical problem in implementing any technology is to reduce labor costs while ensuring energy and resource conservation and simultaneously increasing the yield of cultivated crops and, consequently, reducing the cost of production. It has been established that saving technologies will reduce the number of unit runs through the field, preserve soil fertility, and minimize environmental pollution from fuel combustion products. The article presents a comprehensive assessment of the quality of technological operations of energy-resource-saving technologies for harvesting root crops and potatoes under high humidity conditions. The authors describe a coefficient of energy-resource saving that takes into account the direct costs of energy in the cultivation of crop products, including the costs of energy obtained from the liquid fuel combustion, direct costs of energy required for crop production, the energy of material and technical resources, and the energy of current assets. Numerical values of the comprehensive assessment indicator of energy-saving features of harvesting root crops and potatoes will describe the quality of technogenic impact of a set of machines used for harvesting vegetable crops. Application of the proposed method can help adequately estimate crop production’s energy efficiency, taking into account the energy of direct and indirect costs.
