- Abstract
Studies on the effectiveness of modern mechanized technologies of potato cultivation were carried out under production conditions in company “Belorechensky” Agro-Industrial Plant of the Beloyarsky urban district of the Sverdlovsk Region. In the experiments, one of the most common and highly productive varieties of potato – Impala variety – was used. The studied variants included separate ridge and combined ridge methods and bed technology with different areas of potato nutrition. According to the results of field experiments, it was found that, on average, over three years of research, the yield of seed potato varied from 18.5 to 23.4 t/ha in different planting variants. Among ridge planting technologies, the highest yield of 23.4 t/ha was recorded when using a separate technology. It is also the highest yield among all methods used. Among bed planting technologies, the highest yield of 22.9 t/ha was noticed when using 3-row technology. When comparing ridge and bed planting technologies, it is worth noting that the marketability of tubers when using ridge technologies was higher than when using the bed ones. Among ridge planting technologies, the most cost-effective due to lower production costs is a combined method. Among bed technologies, 3-row method is the most cost-effective due to the high gross output cost and low production costs. When comparing ridge and bed planting technologies, it is worth noting that combined ridge one is the most cost-effective among all these technologies due to the lowest production costs. According to the results of experiments, it was established that all studied cultivation technologies have a high level of profitability, except for 4-row bed technology. However, in order to reduce costs and increase the net income of enterprise, we recommend using 3-row bed technology and combined ridge technology.
