Development of evaluation model effectiveness of modern technologies in crop production

Abstract Effectiveness assessment of modern technologies and machines introduction is one of the most important economic objectives in agricultural production. The purpose of this paper is to develop a formalized effectiveness evaluation system of introduction of modern technologies and machines in crop production. This system is based on the use of modern software for creation of crop production process flow diagrams, business planning, and optimization of machines and technologies parameters. It is proposed to formulate the process of economic effectiveness evaluation of new technologies in crop production as a permanent operating three-stage indiscrete cyclic model for a particular industry, facility, district or region. In the first stage of calculations income and expenses staggered over a period of time and obtained through the new technologies or more modern tools are defined, using detailed process flow diagrams, fodder balance and other estimation forms. During the second stage project success criteria are determined by calculation of stability analysis and evaluation of feasibility and effectiveness of new technologies. Finally, in the third stage it is necessary to solve a task of introduced technologies parameters adaptation and optimization. The effectiveness evaluation system of introduction of modern technologies and machines in crop production, proposed in this paper, allows for quicker decision making regarding reasonability of replacing machines and technologies with new ones.
