Brief description, technical and economic parameters of advantages and positive qualities.
In the zone of the Southern Steppe, the production of solid biofuels is more developed, the raw material base for which is mainly the straw of grain and leguminous crops, sunflower husks, etc. The supply of such raw materials is unstable and seasonal, which negatively affects the efficiency of biofuel production plants. In addition, biofuels made from residues contain a significant proportion (up to 10%) of ash elements, which reduces its calorific value and boiler performance. However, the main negative from the use of crop residues of biofuels lies in the environmental plane, since this leads to land degradation and a decrease in their fertility.
The advantages of our developments lie in resource saving, which is based on a decrease in the volume of use of mineral fertilizers through the use of modern growth-regulating preparations, microfertilizers, etc., for the formation of a sustainable level of high-quality crop and a significant increase in the effective use of moisture, which is the most important for the conditions of the Steppe of Ukraine. important. The moisture in the study area is at the first minimum and affects performance the most.
When analyzing the structure of energy costs for technological operations (direct and investment costs), it was found that the most energy-intensive operations are harvesting (43.67%) and basic tillage (28.20%), the least for crop care – 12.33 %.
The results of research into the dynamics of plant production processes, the intensity of biomass formation, leaf surface area, wet and dry weight of sorghum crops, the phytosanitary state of the soil, its fertility and innovative developments in cultivation technology were tested by agricultural producers of various forms of ownership at Field Days and seminars.
