The Impact

The protected soil industry is one of the most technologically complex and energy-intensive branches of agriculture. In recent years, especially in 2020, the demand for the products of greenhouse plants is increasing. Reducing the risks of the impact of the quality of energy supply, as well as reducing the cost of electricity due to the constant increase in tariffs are important tasks. Therefore, it is important to identify and analyze modern available technologies and equipment of Russian production for greenhouse farms. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in assessing the impact of the quality of energy supply on the technological processes of greenhouse farms, identifying and analyzing the existing modern domestic equipment that reduces the risks of the energy supply. (Materials and methods) Authors used a computational and analytical method for determining the average indicators of electric energy costs for technological processes in a greenhouse. The article presents a review of the automated greenhouse microclimate management system developed using the products of TM OWEN. (Results and discussion) Automated systems for controlling the greenhouse microclimate can reduce the impact of the quality of energy supply when deviating from normal values, minimize the impact of the human factor on the production process, and collect and archive the indicators of devices for further analysis. The system makes it possible to repair and replace failed equipment without stopping the production process and implies both fully automated and manual control, if necessary. The considered version of the automated greenhouse microclimate control system has been tested in practice and is used in the greenhouse economy of the Republic of Bashkortostan. (Conclusions) The efficiency of the greenhouse economy depends, among other things, on the level of automation, the quality of energy supply, and the use of energy-saving technologies. We stated that it is necessary to continue to work on the identification and analysis of modern Russian-made equipment, informing agricultural producers about the best available technologies.

The Impact

The use of foreign technology in agricultural production leads to a decrease in productivity, product quality, and output from crop rotations of farmland, soil compaction. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in identifying the causes of food dependence in Russia and ways to solve the problems of security and independence of agricultural production. (Materials and methods) Authors analyzed the parameters of some heavy imported and domestic tractors, including the weight and engine power. Authors have evaluated the effectiveness of various tractor-seeding units using the results of State tests of imported and domestic units of the Volga machine testing station at Soyuz-agro LLC in the Almetyevsk district of the Republic of Tatarstan. (Results and discussion) The article shows that the heavier the unit, the more expensive it is and the higher the amortization, which affects the cost of production. The article shows that heavy aggregates compact the soil, causing the exclusion of moisture absorption, destruction of soil flora and fauna, and delay in the development of the root system of plants. The article points out that the increased emission of exhaust gases from heavy-duty tractors into the atmosphere leads to air contamination, contamination of fruits and cereals, and an increase in the number of severe and complex diseases. The results of comparative tests showed that the cost of seeding on domestic complexes is almost 4 times less than the cost of seeding on foreign ones. (Conclusions) To restore reliable production of high-quality grain, it was proposed to use domestic tractors with a complex of block-modular equipment produced by PC "Yaroslavich" and LLC "Varnaagromash", the introduction of which will increase the quality of grain and yield by 2.5 times, reduce costs by 3 times.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are associated with a high disease burden, reduced quality of life and shortened survival. The aim of this questionnaire was to gain patients' and caregivers' perspectives on the impact of living with an MPN in the Republic of Ireland. An Irish adaptation of the ‘Global MPN Landmark survey’ was conducted. Fifty-one patients and 44 caregivers completed the questionnaire. Patients reported a wide variety of symptoms at the time of questionnaire completion; fatigue, bone pain and pruritus being most frequently reported. Approximately one-third of respondents from each of the groups (patients and caregivers) reported a negative impact of MPNs on their emotional wellbeing and daily lives. The study findings revealed that, despite treatment, symptom burden remains high, and several unmet needs exist, including educational, emotional and peer group support. Interventions that focus on reducing symptom burden and addressing these unmet needs, may improve the quality of life for patients with MPNs and their caregivers.

Wedm Process

Current engineering production is characterized by ever-increasing requirements for the final quality of products. But high fabrication productivity is required in many cases as well. Another advantage is, of course, a beneficial economic efficiency of the production process. However, despite the advanced technical level of production and extensive knowledge in the field of electro-erosive machining, in many cases, the overall efficiency of the production process is based on the skills of operators. Besides, insufficiently experienced production operators sometimes still use the trial and error system, even today. A comprehensive set of information for selecting optimal conditions of the electric discharge machining process with the possibility of practical application in real conditions of practice is currently non-existent. The paper therefore describes the experimental measurements performed in order to optimize the quality of the machined surface with respect to electric energy consumption in the WEDM process. In contrast to current approaches, the solution of the issue relied on determining the relationship between the performance parameters of the process and its controllable output quality parameters so that they would be applicable to the conditions of real practice. It was found that with the reduction of discharge energy through individual WEDM operations, the quality indicators in terms of roughness parameters improve. However, on the other hand, reducing the discharge energy leads to a significant increase in the total electric energy consumption. Therefore, the aim of the performed optimization was to look for a suitable type of WEDM operation, in which a favourable value of the roughness of the eroded surface is achieved while maintaining favourable electric energy consumption.

This article presents the impact assessment results for the spay-dressing of different Metallocene compound fertilizers containing chelated microelements on the yield and quality of winter wheat seeds of the Kazanskaya 560 variety. The research was carried out on the grey forest soils in the Kama region of the Republic of Tatarstan in 2017–2020. The plants were dressed with fertilizers in the autumn and the spring and summer period. In the autumn, we used the fertilizer containing manganese (Metallocene D), and in the spring and summer period (the tillering and earing stages of the winter wheat), we used the Metallocene Universal compound fertilizer with several microelements. During the research, we established that applying the manganese-containing Metallocene D in the autumn has a significant positive effect on the growth and dry biomass accumulation of the winter wheat. The dressing with Metallocene Universal during the tillering and earing stages following the application of Metallocene D in the autumn resulted in an increased/stimulated plant growth and development. The highest yield of winter wheat (3.45 t/ha or 46 % above the reference value) was obtained through the dressing of Metallocene D at a rate of 2 l/ha in the autumn, and the spraying of the plants with Metallocene Universal done twice during the spring and summer period. The autumn application of Metallocene D and the twofold application of Metallocene Universal improve the qualitative parameters of new winter wheat seeds. The use of fertilizers in questions improved the laboratory germination of the seeds and significantly reduced the root rot agent infection rate. The twofold dressing during the spring and summer period following the autumn dressing helped to suppress the most dangerous infections, such as the fusarium blight and the Helmintosporium disease, in the new seeds almost completely. The research conducted showed that Metallocene fertilizers can be successfully used to improve the production of winter wheat and seeds.
