Features of the Development of Plant Protection Technologies in Agroecosystems in the Conditions of the Russian Market Economy

Abstract

The results of research characterizing the development of plant protection technologies in agroecosystems in the conditions of the market economy of Russia in the cultivation of varieties of strategic grain and industrial crops of domestic breeding with high genetic potential are presented. The potential is realized with the use of plant protection equipment with elements of information technology and precision farming, mineral fertilizers and pesticides according to scientifically sound standards. At the same time, success is achieved in a group of agricultural enterprises and peasant (farmer) farms with sown areas of grain and industrial crops 2500 hectares, optimal for the rational use of machinery, with a high culture of agriculture, provided with material, technical and financial resources and leading profitable production. In 2016–2020. the analyzed group of highly productive varieties of cereals and industrial crops covered ~20% of the areas of agroecosystems at the current level of development of breeding, seed production and genetics, the use of mineral fertilizers and pesticides, as well as equipment with elements of information technology and precision agriculture. The prospects of expanding the group of crops in connection with the further improvement of the organization of breeding and seed production, the supply of fertilizers and pesticides based on the development of not only progressive drugs, but also created molecules of domestic active substances, in new conditions in connection with the tasks of food security of the country.
