Theoretical Background for the Development of Organic Crop Production Technologies

Abstract

Adaptive organic production technologies are developed and introduced within integrated farming systems with a good scientific basis. The intensity of such technologies depends on the materials and machinery on which the technology operates and the resources available to the technology user. For a uniform assessment of the intensity of these technologies, they are classified into three categories: traditional, normal and intensive. The design of technologies for the organic production of crop products must comply with the requirements of legislative and regulatory documents, be aimed at ensuring a favorable state of the environment and reducing negative environmental effects on it, preserve human health and ensure the preservation and restoration of soil fertility. High-tech agricultural technologies using the latest technical means and the modern level of scientific and technological development, well-founded scientific principles and scientific and methodological foundations should serve as a tool for this. This will make it possible to combine advanced scientific developments and modern technical solutions to achieve the maximum biological potential of plants in obtaining high yields of cultivated plants with minimal negative impact on the environment. This is a complex innovative procedure. It uses an interdisciplinary approach that requires the accumulation and synthesis of numerous knowledge areas forming specific requirements for technological processes and individual production units.
