The technological need and equipment of the Krasnoyarsk territory plant growing sector with the tractors

The relevance of scientific substantiation of the agriculture technological need in tractors for the machine-tractor park formation of the region that ensures its food independence is shown. The substantiation of the technological need and the equipment assessment of the plant growing sector with tractors were made on the basis of the natural-production condition analysis with the use of the zonal need standards in the reference and physical tractors at the actual structure of the tractor park and taking into account the introduction of resource-saving tillage technologies. According to the analysis, the need standards in the wheeled and tracked tractors of different dimension types in the reference units and physical calculation are determined. The actual number of available tractors in the reference units is established and the assessment of the industry equipment is given. The technologically sufficient and scarce dimensional types of tractors are determined. The priority directions of the tractor park formation taking into account the widespread introduction of minimum and zero tillage technologies, the growing shortage of skilled machine operators and the complicated financial-economic state of the industry are considered. It is proved that the introduction of the resource-saving tillage technologies on 80% of sowing areas allowed to reduce the regulatory need for reference tractors by 35% and to provide the actual equipment of plant growing sector with tractors at the level of 85%. According to simulation results the prospects of the tractor park formation and equipment of plant growing sector with tractors taking into account the projected increase of the area cultivated by zero technology are substantiated. It is shown that in the age composition and the lack of updating, the number of the tractor park and the industry equipment with tractors by 2020 will be reduced accordingly by 8 and 4%.
