According to the operator experiences, the variable rate fertilization system based on the fuzzy self-tuning PID controller is researched in this paper, which is driven by electrically and hydraulic system. This system solves the problem that the parameters adjustment of the traditional PID is difficult. The system model is presented and is simulated by using MATLAB/ SIMULINK toolbox. The simulation results shows that the fuzzy self-tuning PID control could obtain better dynamic response and achieve the expected control effects. In order to verify this control system performance, many experiments are carried on in the lab. The experiments results show that the variable rate fertilization system based on fuzzy self-tuning PID control has high control accuracy and could meet the control requirements of the variable rate fertilization in precision agriculture.

A variable rate fertilizer application system with ARM microprocessor as control core was developed. The structure and realization principle of the system were introduced. The system consists of two velocity sensors of photoelectric encoder and proximity transducer, an ARM controller, and an executive unit of stepper motor. The system has automatic and manual variable rate fertilization modes. In the automatic mode, the system can be positioned automatically without GPS, and controls the stepping motor’s rotational speed according to the fertilizing amount in different grid to realize variable rate fertilization. In the manual mode, the controller combines the fertilizing amount in different grid input manually through the keys with the velocity of the applicator, and calculates the stepping motor’s rotational speed to realize the variable rate fertilizer application. The applicator working status can be seen in LCD on the controller. The experimental results show that the system can work properly.

Aim. To substantiate the agroecological estimation of the performance of a short crop rotation in conditions of intense and organic system of fertilization on the basis of restoring normative parameters of emission and se- questration of С-СО 2 circulation while using by-products as organic fertilizers in conditions of modern climatic system of the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Methods. Field, statistical, laboratory. Results of Investigations. The performance of short crop rotations is determined by the capacity of С-СО 2 balance. Strong inverse correla- tion was found between the capacity of N and the ratio between C and N in the agrocenosis, which demon- strated that enhancing the humifi cation processes (ratio constriction) led to the increase in the capacity of С org balance and the decrease in the capacity level of С-СО 2 balance (enhancing mineralization), related to the reduction in the performance of crops in the agrocenosis of a crop rotation compared to the organic system of fertilization. The capacity of С-СО 2 and С org balance correlates at the medium level of inverse direction, and the yield of the main products, feed units and digestible protein correlates at the level of strong direct correlation. Conclusions. General mineralization of by-products and humus in the agrocenosis and humifi cation processes are antagonists, so extending the ratio between С and N at the intense fertilization system stimulates the in- crease in performance and reducing С to N similar to the organic fertilization system enhances the humifi cation process due to binding of С org into humus and limits mineralization which leads to the reduction in agrocenosis performance at the organic fertilization system.
