Authors : I.G. Pykhtin, A.V. Gostev and A.I. Pykhtin

Abstract: One of the key areas of research of the All-Russia Research Institute of Arable Farming and Soil Erosion Control is the creation of normative and reference support for modern farming systems. Within the framework of this direction, the staff of the institute developed the register of technologies for cultivating cereals for the conditions of the Central Chernozem Region which is represented by a software decision support in the cultivation of crops which includes 36 technologies for cultivating 12 grain crops of different intensity levels for 11 predecessors. The electronic version of the register has an application that makes it possible to make scientifically-based choice of technology for cultivation of presented cereal crops based on available natural and material resources in the economy which allows quickly, efficiently and objectively to select the most optimal types of technologies for cultivating cereals in specific farm conditions. In addition, the electronic version of the register contains reference information including more than 120 units of agricultural machinery and more than 200 varieties and hybrids of cereals. The technologies show their purpose, the conditions for effective use, the expected output indicators, the list of technological methods, the need for natural and anthropogenic resources which is very important for production workers. For each culture and predecessor created a database, that includes the necessary normative indicators for all resources. The advantages of this development include the universality of the developed algorithm for the scientifically-based choice of technology for cultivating grain crops which consists in the possibility of adapting the program not only to the conditions of the Central Black Earth Region but also to other regions of the Russian Federation and another countries, provided that the database is adjusted. The electronic version of the register is an important applied tool for agricultural producers of all forms of ownership, agricultural specialists, economists and scientists.
