The theoretical and practical importance of investments in improving the technological potential of planting equipment of AIC enterprises

The increase in the technological potential of enterprises is especially important in the cultivation of agricultural products. In order to develop, improve competitiveness, improve financial condition and predict early yields, agribusiness enterprises need to pay special attention to the planting campaign. Compliance with agronomic technological operations, especially planting, allows agricultural producers to increase yields, reduce the production cost of unit production and generate additional profits. The article substantiated the application of a systematic approach to the process of growing crop products. Technological operations in the cultivation of oily sunflower in the Krasnodar region have been studied, the requirements for agricultural machinery necessary for sowing corn and sunflower are given, recommendations for the introduction of fertilizers and trace elements are given. The authors conducted a feasibility study of innovative machines and mechanisms applied to sowing of ploughed crops with a range of 700 mm, proposed 3 options applicable to the implementation, made a comparison of the technical and economic characteristics of planting units. The scheme of sowing fund of the plant’s plowed crops is considered, the cost of an additional unit of planting units proposed for implementation is calculated. The economic efficiency of the purchase of planting units has been calculated, and the need to invest in innovative development of planting equipment has been justified.
