Economic and bioenergy efficiency of sunflower cultivation depending on agricultural receptions

Abstract

When assessing the economic efficiency of sunflower production in enterprises, it is necessary to correctly determine the system of interrelated indicators that should most objectively reflect its level. The aim of the research was to determine the economic and bioenergetic efficiency of sunflower cultivation depending on the method of basic tillage, dose of mineral fertilizers and growth regulators. The studies were conducted in 2016-2018 at the fields of the Institute of Oil Crops of the UAAS. The sowing was carried out at a depth of seed wrapping of 6-7 cm with a row spacing of 70 cm with a seeding rate of 50 thousand similar seeds per hectare. Basic tillage systems: classic – two-track disc, plowing (PN-3-35) to a depth of 22-25 cm; bottomless – two-track disc, endless tillage (KLD-3.0) to a depth of 25-27 cm; minimal – two-track discus, cultivation (KPS-4,0) to a depth of 10-12 cm. Mineral fertilizer application options: 1. Control – no fertilizer, 2. N40, 3. N40P60, 4. N60P60K60. Application options: 1. Control – treatment with water (250 l/ha), 2. Rost- concentrate + Oil gelatin (6-8 pairs of true leaves), 3. Forte gelatin + Mono boron gelatin (6-8 pairs of true leaves), 4. Mono boron chelate + Phosphate-potassium chelate (6-8 pairs of true leaves), 5. 1 treatment: Phosphate-potassium chelate + Multimix gelatin + Mono boron chelate (3-4 pairs of true leaves), 2 treatment: Mono gelatin boron (6-8 pairs of true leaves). The highest yield of sunflower hybrid Ratnik – 3.46 and 3.45 t/ha obtained by cultivation under the classical system of basic tillage, fertilization at a dose of N60P60K60 for pre-sowing cultivation and the second and fifth variants of application of the preparations: 2. Growth concentrate + Oil gelatin (6-8 pairs of true leaves); 5. 1 treatment: Phosphate-potassium chelate + Multimix gelatin + Mono boron gelatin (3-4 pairs of true leaves), 2 treatment: Mono boron gelatin (6-8 pairs of true leaves). The highest yield increase from the application of mineral fertilizers was obtained when fertilizing at a dose of N60P60K60 for all systems of basic tillage and is within: for classical – 0.52-0.64 t/ha; for landless – 0.40-0.51 t/ha; at the minimum – 0.35-0.45 t/ha. It should be noted that the cultivation of sunflower crops with growth stimulants in all their applications has led to an increase in yield: in the classical system of basic tillage by 0.13-0.32; for non-drained – 0.08-0.25 and for the minimum – 0.09-0.25 t/ha. The most effective under all other conditions of cultivation was the use of a mixture of preparations Growth-concentrate + gelatin oil. Indicators of economic efficiency of sunflower hybrid cultivation Ratnik, calculated at prices on 01.03.2021, varied depending on the options for the use of mineral fertilizers, growth regulators and methods of basic tillage. Taking into account the cost of the obtained products and the costs of its cultivation, the profit is obtained depending on the background of mineral nutrition and the application of growth regulators: 45156-57059 UAH/ha under the classic system of basic tillage with a profitability of 403-654 %; 41822-50349 UAH/ha for a bottomless system with a level of profitability of 358-616 %; 40699-48110 UAH/ha under the minimum system with a level of profitability of 359-642 %. The highest profit was obtained under the classical system of basic tillage, which exceeded this figure by 3334-7505 and 4457-9417 UAH/ha for bottomless and minimum systems. The most effective was the cultivation of sunflower hybrid Ratnik under the classical system of basic tillage against the background of mineral fertilizers at a dose of N40 and spraying crops in the phase of 6-8 pairs of true leaves with a mixture of Rost-concentrate + Helatin oil. The bioenergy efficiency of the studied agricultural methods varied depending on the options for the use of mineral fertilizers, growth regulators and methods of basic tillage. Taking into account the gross energy yield and total energy consumption for cultivation, the increase in gross energy was obtained, depending on the background of mineral nutrition and the variant of application of growth regulators: 45599-54678 MJ/ha under the classical system of basic tillage with energy coefficient 2.16-4.28; 42346-48528 MJ/ha for a bottomless system with an energy factor of 1.98-4.22; 40900-45998 MJ/ha for the minimum system with an energy factor of 1.92-4.18. The largest increase in gross energy was obtained in the classical system of basic tillage, which exceeded this figure by 3253-7048 and 4699-9216 MJ/ha in the bottomless and minimum systems. The most efficient in terms of energy indicators was the cultivation of sunflower hybrid Ratnik under the classical system of basic tillage against the background of mineral fertilizers at a dose of N40P60 and spraying crops in the phase of 6-8 pairs of true leaves with a mixture of Rost-concentrate + Chelatin oil.
