Shevchenko I. Tillage technology and technical means development and perfection on basis of their agrophysical indices

. Object of research - technology and technical means me-cha-ni-zation for tillage as elements of zone farming agriculture sys-tem. Objective: labor-saving level being in need provision in me-cha-ni-zed technologies of soil tillage at the expense of its agro-physical properties. Methods: system analysis, regulations of so-ils farming agriculture and structural mechanics, mathematical mo-deling, ex-pe-rimental planning, regressive and correlative spe-c-trum ana-ly-sis. Results: the solution of tillage mechanization pro-blem had been synthesized in the "soil Ы plant Ы machine Ы technical and economic expediency" system improvement that corresponds to precision farming concept. Scientific novelty: the concept rea-lizing methodological fundamentals working out for zone adaptive technologies and technical means for mechanized tillage resulting agricultural crop capacity had been created. Intro-duction level: methods of technologies and technical means working out as well as their estimation had been realized for tillage at the farm machinery testing centers in Ukraine and Poland; the results of research are in need of design offices for new tillage machinery working out, five new brands of tillage machines were created and passed industrial testing. Application sphere: farm machinery testing centers, scientific and research institutes, design offices at plants-producers of tillage machi-nery.
