Improving the technology of sunflower cultivation with an increase in yield and product quality

The article presents the developed technological maps of sunflower cultivation taking into account statistical data for normal and intensive cultivation technologies. The purpose of the study is to improve the technology of sunflower cultivation using economic calculation of the yield and quality of oilseed products. The main task of the agricultural sector of the economy of any country is to obtain high profitable yields of sunflower and products of its production - vegetable oils. Only under such conditions can we hope for the successful development of sunflower cultivation and an increase in the quality of products, as well as the creation of favorable conditions for expanded reproduction, which will ensure a stable increase in yields. In recent years, questions have arisen in the field of vegetable oil production to which agrobiological science is not yet able to provide answers. This complicates the solution of existing problems. Considering the technological maps for seed cultivation by both conventional and intensive methods, we can state that the yield level directly depends on the degree of production intensification. However, when increasing production intensity, it is important to establish the optimal level of intensification, since there is a limit after which additional investments no longer pay off in additional volumes of oilseed products.
