1 – Tractors, mobile loading machines, and trailers;
2 – Soil cultivation and sowing machines;
3 – Fertilizer application machines and equipment;
4 – Crop chemical protection machines;
5 – Irrigation machines;
6 – Machines for harvesting grain and industrial crops;
7 – Machines, units, and complexes for post-harvest processing and storage of grain crops;
8 – Machines for forage harvesting and processing;
9 – Machines for animal husbandry and poultry farming;
10 – Machines for vegetable growing, horticulture, and viticulture;
11 – Machines and equipment for forestry;
12 – Technologies and equipment for using renewable energy sources in agricultural production;
13 – Small mechanization tools in crop production;
14 – Small mechanization tools in animal husbandry.

The manuals include main technical and technological requirements for agricultural machinery, technical specifications, test results, and trends in the development of such machines and equipment.

Intended for specialists in agricultural production, agricultural machinery manufacturing and market formation, scientists, lecturers, and students.

Projects

“Kolosok”

Promising technical and technological solutions for harvesting, post-harvest processing, and grain storage.

Reduction of costs (10-15%) in the technological cycle <harvesting – grain storage> through the application of new technical solutions: threshing units, scalperators, biofuel dryers, and polyethylene sleeves.

Projects

“Striptill“

Technical and technological solution for strip tillage and sowing in short rotation grain crop sequences (patent №98647, published 12.05.2015, bulletin №9).

The technology is used in the short rotation crop sequence <corn – corn – soybean – corn – corn> with preliminary (autumn) slotting between rows. It increases crop resilience to climate change, optimizes soil moisture regime, rational fertilizer use, and minimizes the agricultural machinery fleet.
