Levkina R. Efficiency increase of energy consumption in vegetable growing

Object: agricultural enterprises and farms on Kharkiv oblast, that specialize in vegetable production. Objective: systematic approach basing with consideration of resourse-power evaluation of developing rational level of expendure for vegetable production and ways of their reduction in the conditions of Ukrainian Forest-steppe. Methods: abstract-logical, statistical-economical, monographic, calculated-structural, experimental, balance ties distribution, parallel data, economic-mathematical approach to problem solving on a PC. Outcome: quantitative estimate of the total and element wise power consumption for, industrial and farm technologies has been done; patterns of forward-looking resourse and power-saving technologies of vegetable growing with minimal powerand material expendure for the product unit have been developed and substantiated. Novelty: methodical foundation of power estimation in vegetable production; has been determined: algorithm and program of the power analysis on PC and structure ofthe vegetable production expendure in power units; have been developed; corresponding coefficients and established reproduction prices havebeen determined. Field of application: agricultural enterprises, regional management of agricultural holding, agricultural institutes.
