Modeling of the Transport and Production Complex in the Growing of Agricultural Crops, Taking Into Account the Aviation Component

Abstract

Studies of the transport and technological process of growing crops revealed that it is a complex dynamic system. It is proved that the complexity of this system consists in the presence of a large number of heterogeneous subsystems, including transport, which is an important component for growing crops. Due to the system approach to the study of transport support of the crop growing process, it became possible to identify functional features of using ground and aviation vehicles. The properties of each stage of the growing process and involvement of certain types of vehicles are determined. The scheme of transport support of the crop growing process is developed and the influence of the aviation component at certain stages in the introduction of resource-saving No-till technology is determined. Experimental studies showed that the use of aviation transport contributes to the introduction of resource-saving No-till technology by minimizing the mechanical processing of sown areas, which reduces the  anthropogenic load on the soil. The developed mathematical model for analyzing the use of the transport and production complex in growing crops allows making a rational choice of ground and aviation vehicles, depending on the parameters of technologies, types of crops. Thus, there is reason to argue that it is possible to make timely and reasonable management decisions in the organization and management of agricultural production in order to maximize profits
