The article presents the main results of research on the development of a physical and mathematical model of the technological process of collecting flax seeds with a combing header and the justification of the range of its operating parameters based on software simulation and numerical modeling. The process of harvesting agricultural crops, including oil flax, is an important technological operation of their production in the agricultural sector of Ukraine. The positive dynamics of the growth of oil flax production, which is due to the growing demand for seeds in the domestic and foreign markets, requires the intensification of harvesting equipment technological processes. The main reasons for restraining the production of oil flax are the imperfection of the equipment for harvesting and the inconsistency of the quality indicators of work with the established requirements. One of the directions for solving this problem is the technology of harvesting by stripping plants on the standing. Timely harvesting of oil flax seeds in optimal agrotechnical terms (plant condition, weather conditions, weediness, etc.) with minimal losses and contamination of the heap is one of the important scientific tasks of improving harvesting technology. Improving the efficiency of collecting oil flax seeds and, as a result, improving the quality of products requires new approaches to the development and implementation of technical means in progressive technologies. As a result of numerical modeling of the separation process of a heap in a combing header with a curvilinear casing shape, taking into account the physical and mechanical properties of its components, the dependences of the mass fraction of husk and stem particles leaving its area (an indicator of the quality of cleaning the heap from impurities) δh and the fraction of seeds and capsules leaving with seeds (seed loss index) δs from the rotation frequency of the beater-reflector n1 and the stripping drum n2, the position of the transparent zone of the boundary L and its width B. Solving the compromise problem, namely, maximizing the mass fraction of husk and stalk particles leaving the header area (quality indicator cleaning the heap from impurities) δh and minimizing the proportion of seeds and seed boxes leaving the header area (seed loss index) δs Obtained rational design and technological parameters of the combing type header with a curved casing: rotation frequency of the beater-reflector n1 = 782 rpm, combing drum rotation speed n2 = 671 rpm, transparent position zone of the boundaries L = 0.82 m and its width B = 0.45 m. In this case, the mass fraction of husk and stem particles leaving is δh = 42.4%, and the fraction of losses of seeds and capsules with seeds from the header area is in accordance with δs = 2.5%.

The aim of the study is the quality improvement of the feed mixture prepared and substantiation of the design and technological parameters of blade mixer batch- operated. The task is to set the functional dependence between the prepared mixtures quality and the empirical ratio of the intensity of mixing, taking into account the blades length in regard to values of the rotation frequency and the length of the blade of the batch-operated mixer, as well as the definition of rational length of the mixer blades. Improving the quality of mixture requires both the adding of all nec-essary nutrients and feed components into the volume of prepared portion of the mixture as stipulated by the recipe for mixture, and smooth distribution of components throughout the volume of ready feed. Smooth distribution of the mixture components is related to the design and operation of the mixer. Blade mixer batch- operated is one of the effective types of existing mixers, mixing the ingredients of feed with good quality. The article presents the result oriented design scheme of the blade mixer. Positive functions of the mixture quality and the empirical coefficient of mixing intensity included in their composition are assessed taking into account the length of the blades, depending on the rotation speed and frequency of the mixer. The graphic results of experimental studies taking into account the influence of the blade length and the speed of the mixer on the quality of the prepared mixture are given. The increase of blade length and rotation speed improves the quality of the mixture. Recommended blade length is 75...80 mm. With frequency of rotation increase and the length of the blades the total value of the empirical coeffi-cient of the intensity of mixing, depending on the effect of the length of the blades decreases at a slower pace. This is typical of the obtained hyperbolic dependence.

Forest Seeds

Annual harvesting of a large number of forest seeds allows for reforestation on the territory of the Russian Federation. Moreover, more than 70% falls on the seeds of coniferous trees. In order to increase their sowing quality and reduce losses, the seeds are dehumidified, cleaned, sorted by density and size, stratification, as well as other technological operations. The use of refined seeds during reforestation allows increasing the productivity of sowing units, improving the quality of seed placement, reducing the volume of seed bins, which leads to a decrease in the metal consumption of sewing machines as a whole. For experimental studies, special sieves were made: plastic with chamfered, plastic with standard holes and plastic with rounded edges. The dependences of the completeness of separation of the procode fraction ε were determined for various combinations of the angle of inclination α and the rotation frequency of the working body ω for various seed thicknesses. The angle of inclination of the working body α was changed from 4 ° to 12 °, in increments of 2 °, rotation frequency ω from 400 min--to 1200 min-¹, in increments of 200 min-¹. The size gap was set taking into account the dimensional characteristics of existing sieves with rectangular holes and was 0.2 mm. Studies were conducted on the seeds of common pine.

The level of livestock development is one of the indicators characterizing the state of economy not only of individual farms, but regions and state as a whole. Therefore, the solution to the problem of the improvement of the quality of feed and modernization of process of its production is relevant and significant for agricultural sector. In order to improve and study the technological process of mixing the grain mixture, a design of a continuous paddle mixing unit was developed. The purpose of the research is to establish functional dependencies on the design and operating parameters of a mixer with helical blades and determine their rational values. The influence of the shaft rotation frequency, the number of its blades and the state of tank fullness on the unevenness of the mixture, productivity and power consumption is determined. The increase in the degree of fullness and shaft speed intensifies the performance of the mixer. The highest mixer performance is provided by 6 blades. The increase in the shaft speed intensifies the power consumption of the mixer. The degree of fullness of the tank and the number of blades also increase power consumption, but to a lesser extent. The best quality of the mixture is provided by 8 blades with a degree of fullness of 2 5 % and a rotation frequency of 40 min-1 with a mixer capacity of about 180 kg/h and a power consumption of 270 watts.

The efficiency of the agricultural sector, and in particular the production of crop products, to a greater extent depends on the cost of the products obtained, which can be reduced, taking into account the factors affecting the technical, economic and operational indicators. Every year, the demand for small-sized tillage equipment, which is a real assistant for gardeners when working on their backyard plots, is growing. But in order to increase the functionality of the equipment and the quality of soil preparation for sowing, it is necessary to conduct research on the possibility of using various additional working bodies for the walk-behind tractor. The aim of the research is to develop and study the design of an active roller for a walk-behind tractor, which allows high-quality preparation of the soil for sowing. To solve the set tasks, the mechanical system of a slatted-spiral roller for a walk-behind tractor is considered. The number of degrees of freedom, the kinematic connection and the position of the mechanical system in the inertial frame of reference associated with the walk-behind tractor have been determined. Taking into account some assumptions, neglecting the small values of some variables, on the basis of the Lagrange equation of the second kind, a differential equation of motion for generalized coordinates is compiled. To solve the differential equation of motion, the kinetic energy of the system is calculated, which is determined as the sum of the kinetic energies of the frame and the roller. The expression for determining the kinetic energy of the system depends on the axial and centrifugal moments of inertia, mass, angular and linear speeds of the frame and roller. The expressions obtained make it possible to substantiate the main rational design and technological parameters of a slatted-spiral roller for a walk-behind tractor

The Relationship

The article discusses a non-standard view of the formation of human capital for work in organizations of the agricultural sector of the economy, in the context of modern socio-economic transformations. In the classical sense, human capital for agriculture should be formed and developed in rural areas. But in real life, this is not always the case, because there are many factors that prevent the classical solution of this problem. First, the demographic factor affects, second, social and household factors, and third, in many rural areas there are no working agricultural organizations where qualified agricultural specialists can work. All these and other circumstances actualize the problem of the quality of human capital in rural areas in relation to the development of agricultural production.

The purpose of research: to improve the technology of growing flax in the Western region of Ukraine on the basis of the introduction of systems for minimizing tillage, which will increase the yield of trusts and seeds. Research methods: field, laboratory, visual and comparative calculation method. Research results: Field experiments included the study of three tillage systems (traditional, canning and mulching) and determining their impact on growth and development and yields of trusts and flax seeds. The traditional tillage system included the following operations: plowing with a reversible plow to a depth of 27 cm, cultivation with simultaneous harrowing and pre-sowing tillage. The conservation system is based on deep shelfless loosening of the soil and provided for chiseling to a depth of 40 cm, disking to a depth of 15 cm, cultivation with simultaneous harrowing, pre-sowing tillage. During the implementation of the mulching system, disking to a depth of 15 cm, cultivation with simultaneous harrowing and pre-sowing tillage with a combined unit was carried out. Tillage implements and machines were used to perform tillage operations: disc harrow BDVP-3,6, reversible plow PON-5/4, chisel PCh-3, cultivator KPSP-4, pre-sowing tillage unit LK-4. The SZ-3,6 ASTPA grain seeder was used for sowing long flax of the Kamenyar variety. Simultaneously with the sowing of flax seeds, local application of mineral fertilizers (nitroammophoska 2 c/ha) was carried out. The application of conservation tillage allows to obtain the yield of flax trust at the level of 3,5 t/ha, which is 0,4 t/ha (12.9 %) more than from the area of traditional tillage and 0,7 t/ha (25 %) in comparison with mulching. In the area with canning treatment, the seed yield was the highest and amounted to 0,64 t/ha. The difference between this option and traditional and mulching tillage reaches 0,06 t/ha (10,3 %) and 0.10 t/ha (18.5 %), respectively. Conclusions. Preservation tillage, which is based on shelf-free tillage to a depth of 40 cm and disking to a depth of 15 cm has a positive effect on plant growth and development, yield and quality of flax.

Selection Of

The results of scientific research are presented, which made it possible to develop less labor-intensive methods for selecting flax plants to grow original (updated) seeds. Studies have shown that a positive selection of tall plants of flax, compared with the accepted counterpart (control), increased seed yield 1.7-1.9 times. Moreover, plant homogeneity according to the main characteristics (height and fiber content in the stem) characterizing the varietal quality of grown seeds turned out to be at the control level. A negative selection, involving the removal of atypical plants, provided an increase in the output volume of seeds compared to the control by 3.9-4.1 times. This selection method did not reduce the varietal quality of seed material compared to the accepted analogue. With both selection methods, after combining typical plants, seeds with the same high germination rates were obtained (96-99 %). The breeding efficiency of the grown flax seeds using narrow-row sowing methods is shown. Studies have established that narrow-row sowing of seeds with a row-spacing of 7.5 and 6.25 cm compared with sowing by a wide-row method significantly increased their yield by 2.8-3.0 and 2.3-3.0 kg / ha, respectively. The greatest influence on the formation of seed yield in narrow-row sowing (6.25 cm) was exerted by the method of sowing, the part of which was 76.1 %. As the length of seed propagation of flax in creased (up to the uterine elite 2 years) in narrow-row sowing (6.25 cm) compared to broad-row, there was no decrease in quality indicators - germination and seed strength.

Automatic Removal

The roller and sieve machines most commonly used in Russia for the post-harvest processing of root and tuber crops and onions have a number of disadvantages, the main one being a decrease in the quality of sorting due to the contamination of working bodies, which increases the quantity of losses during sorting and storage. To obtain high-quality competitive production, it is necessary to combine a number of technological operations during the sorting process, such as dividing the material into classes and fractions by quality and size, as well as identifying and removing damaged products. In order to improve the quality of sorting of root tubers and onions by size, it is necessary to ensure the development of an automatic control system for operating and technological parameters, the use of which will eliminate manual sorting on bulkhead tables in post-harvest processing. To fulfill these conditions, the developed automatic control system must have the ability to identify the material on the sorting surface, taking into account external damage and ensuring the automatic removal of impurities. In this study, the highest sorting accuracy of tubers (of more than 91%) was achieved with a forward speed of 1.2 m/s for the conveyor of the sorting table, with damage to 2.2% of the tubers, which meets the agrotechnical requirements for post-harvest processing. This feature distinguishes the developed device from similar ones.

Negative Effect

Among the various abiotic stresses, drought is the major factor limiting crop productivity worldwide. Citrus has been recognized as a fruit tree crop group of great importance to the global agricultural sector since there are 140 citrus-producing countries worldwide. The majority of citrus-producing areas are subjected to dry and hot summer weather, limited availability of water resources with parallel low-quality irrigation water due to increased salinity regimes. Citrus trees are generally classified as “salt-intolerant” with high water needs, especially during summer. Water scarcity negatively affects plant growth and impairs cell metabolism, affecting the overall tree growth and the quality of produced fruit. Key factors that overall attempt to sustain and withstand the negative effect of salinity and drought stress are the extensive use of rootstocks in citriculture as well as the appropriate agronomical and irrigation practices applied. This review paper emphasizes and summarizes the crucial role of the above factors in the sustainability of citriculture.
