Increasing the resource efficiency of storing agricultural products

Abstract

The article presents statistical data on the dynamics of the development of the Russian agro-industrial complex in the direction of increasing productivity and notes the problems faced by the processing industry (crop products). For successful crop production, plant protection products are used that enter the soil and groundwater, which indirectly affects the state of the environment. The importance of the implementation of the Long-term strategy for the development of the grain complex of the Russian Federation was emphasized. Analyzed data from studies on the storage of grain harvest, which is subjected to fumigation; an assessment of the safety of the tightness of the filled power carriers was carried out. The features of soil, water and air pollution in the zone of influence are discussed. The danger of using pesticides, which create risks of chemical contamination of environmental objects and food products of the population, is emphasized. Statistical information characterizing modern methods of grain storage in the Southern and Central Federal Districts, the pros and cons of these methods are considered. Examples of the practical significance of power runners in the process of grain storage are given (based on data from representatives of the agro-industrial complex). The issues of fumigation of the grain mass at the stage of storage in silobags are touched upon. The possibility of environmental impact of by-products of storage of grain mass is discussed. Ecological aspects of this storage technology are analyzed. Proposals for improving approaches to the storage of grain mass are formulated.
