Agrotechnological fundamentals of creation tillage equipment

Abstract

A methodological approach to systematic analysis and comprehensive assessment of tillage equipment performance, taking into account agrophysical and rheological characteristics of the soil during its cultivation, provides compliance with certain parameters and combinations of working bodies to specific soil and climatic conditions. Thus for search works in each zone it is not necessary to create new experimental working bodies, and it is necessary to carry out researches of typical working bodies-analyzers. The method is based on purposeful selection or "selection" of theoretically substantiated parameters of working bodies by optimization methods of multifactor experiment, which provide the required quality of the arable horizon in a specific soil-climatic zone (subzone) with minimal energy consumption. Development of modern technologies and technical means on the basis of zonal information-analytical databases according to systematized characteristics of soils creates preconditions for determining their economic efficiency at the design stage. This approach corresponds to the ideology of adaptive ecophiling managed agriculture, and the new scientific direction should be called "Bioresource Engineering".
