Development of indicators for a comprehensive assessment of the intellectualization of machine production of vegetable crops

Abstract

Vegetable growing is an important branch of agricultural production. Among the many vegetable plants, more and more importance is given to crops whose products contain physiologically active substances. These crops include nightshade vegetables - tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplants and onions. For the production of vegetable crops, complexes of special and universal machines are used. Universal vehicles include general-purpose vehicles, energy vehicles of various traction classes, special vehicles - planting equipment, cultivators, irrigation machines, chemical protection. The intensity of agriculture in modern production conditions is impossible without a high level of saturation of machine-technological complexes with intellectualization. Obtaining high-quality competitive products is possible only with the use of modern high-performance machines that ensure the combination of technological operations, the design of which includes automated process control systems, soil fertility accounting, and ensuring ecological cleanliness of agricultural landscapes. The use of intelligent technologies is becoming a global trend in modern agricultural production, when during performing technological operations, large amounts of information is collected and processed. Technical means and machines for the implementation of such technologies should also have a certain degree of intelligence, should be equipped with devices for collecting, processing and transmitting information, making decisions on certain algorithms and implementing management decisions. The article presents the results of studies determining indicators of a comprehensive assessment of the intellectualization of machine production of vegetable crops.
