This article considers the issue of using means of mechanization of the most labor-intensive processes of intensive horticulture in Belarus. It has been established that the level of mechanization of the basic technology of cultivating an apple orchard is only 12.5%, and requires financial resources – 6163 rubles / ha. A set of machines developed by RUE “SPC NAS of Belarus for agricultural mechanization” consists of an ASU-6 unit for harvesting fruits and pruning trees, a KUV-1.8 complex forswathing and chopping cut branches of fruit trees and a technological line LSP-4 for sorting and packing apples allows you to mechanize these processes. The use of the proposed train of machines in a promising garden cultivation technology allows for annual cost savings on the technological map in the amount of 1018.55 rubles/ha, a reduction in labor costs by 278.5 man-hours/ha, and the level of mechanization of intensive garden cultivation – 50.1%.
The technology for harvesting and storing grain straw in the Central Asian republics includes three stages. The combine leaves threshed straw on the field. Then a second unit with a baler enters the field. He picks up the straw, forms it into bales and leaves it on the field. The third unit transports the bales outside the field. Clearing the field of straw takes longer, so the harvest of repeated crops does not always have time to fully ripen before heavy autumn rainfall.
The authors recommend installing the baling apparatus into the straw discharge chamber of the combine. To drive the pressing apparatus, the drive provided for the straw chopping and spreading device will be used. Combining grain threshing on a combine with pressing gives an economic effect: the cost of accelerating the release of a grain field for re-sowing will be significantly reduced, and sowing can be done earlier.

This article presents an analysis of the main modes of operation of the activator of a berry harvester and provides a rationale for the main parameters of a two-shaft unbalanced activator drive mechanism. The quality of the harvesting processes in the cultivation of perennial plantations is determined mainly by the frequency and amplitude of oscillations of the harvester activator. As a result of theoretical studies, the type and design and technological scheme of a two-shaft vibration exciter with two unbalances that are rigidly connected to each other and rotate in the same direction with a displacement of 180° are substantiated. The analysis of the functioning of the vibration exciter made it possible to establish rational values of the mass of goods ma= 4,0 kg and the length of the arms r = 0,02 m, providing vibrations with an amplitude of A = 23...27 mm in the frequency range of oscillations of 8...20 Hz, which corresponds to harvesting a wide range of berry crops. The results of the research were used to create a trailed berry harvester KPYA, the use of which ensures high-quality harvesting with minimal damage to berries and shrubs of chokeberry, currant, gooseberry, dog rose and raspberry.
This article describes the process of creating a training sample for training an artificial neural network (hereinafter referred to asANN) of a vision system.ANN training was carried out on the basis of annotated images of real apples containing a description of various defects in the form of separate polygons using the LabelMe program. On the image of the fruit, the apple itself and its pomological features, such as receptacle, peduncle and leaf, were marked, as well as 10 different fruit defects, each of which was given an appropriate name: mesh, pressure, cut, rot, scab, hailstone, etc. The resulting labeled images of fetuses with defects formed a reference training set for the ANN. The performance of the ANN was tested by evaluating the correctness of recognition of fetal images when comparing them with reference images. The training of the ANN for each of the defects in apples was stopped when the 95% probability of the correct assessment of the defect was reached. The ANN trained on the created training sample was used in the vision system of the LSP-4 production line, which provides sorting of apples into three commercial varieties by size and defects from mechanical damage, diseases and pests. The accuracy of sorting by size was 75.4 %, and by the presence of defects – 73.1 %.

t. One of the most important problems in grain production in the Republic of Belarus is the increase in labor productivity, which is 4–5 times less than labor production in the EU countries. Energy-intensive operations, such as ploughing and cleaning, have a large impact on labor productivity and unit operating costs. This article is devoted to the study of the main regularities of plowing operations, which, being a complex technical system, is associated with the use of a large amount of agrotechnological, technical, operational, resource and economic information (operation duration, running length, physical and mechanical properties of soils, depth of processing, permissible range of speeds of the unit, fuel-energy, power and traction characteristics of the engine, width of the unit capture, economic indicators, etc.). Currently, as a result of the introduction of computer mathematics systems, effective methods for studying complex technical systems have appeared, allowing for multifactorial modeling and multi-criteria optimization of the production process and the formation of a complex of machines by system analysis. A necessary condition for a complete and comprehensive description of the functioning of a complex technical system is the presence of conflicting optimization parameters, as well as the presence of a complete set of independent control factors that significantly affect these parameters. A distinctive feature of the proposed method consists in determining not one optimal solution, but a set of Pareto-optimal solutions that give the manufacturer new opportunities to choose when organizing a production process that increases the efficiency of the plowing operation, and, therefore, the profitability of grain production as a whole. Therefore, increasing labor productivity at permissible specific ex-pluatational costs by forming a rational complex of machines and modes of its operation in specific production conditions is an urgent scientific and technical task. The mathematical illustration of the method is given for the natural production conditions of the Republic of Belarus.
