CONSIDERATIONS ON THE ECOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT AND MECHANIZATION TECHNOLOGIES USED IN CEREAL AGRICULTURE
Journal Title: ISB-INMA TEH AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Agricultural machines are designed to carry out a wide variety of ecological farming methods in order to increase the work productivity, while respecting high quality indices, reducing losses and costs on the cultivated surface with reduced physical effort and manual labor. These aspects reflect the global trend towards the execution of a large number of agricultural works in compliance with the ecological norms imposed on each of the tasks. These aspects are justified by the endowment of agriculture with machines and installations, the creation of new machines and types of installations, by extending them to all the works that can be mechanically executed. The major questions and criticisms of the intensive modern agricultural practice refer to the fact that it: damages the soil structure; is harming the natural environment; creates potential risks of foodborne illnesses; determined the reduction of food quality is an energy intensive system; involves intensive livestock production systems that are ethically unacceptable - genetic mudifies. Diseases, pests and weeds in this crop system can be combated by cultivating the most resistant varieties / hybrids, by appropriate crops, mechanical and physical methods of control, protection of useful fauna, etc. According to these standards, organic farming has the following role: to produce high quality food in sufficient quantity; to work with natural systems; to maintain and increase long-term fertility of soils; to use as much as possible renewable resources in agricultural systems; to work as much as possible in a closed system; to ensure all animal living conditions to enable them to do all aspects of their native behavior; to avoid all forms of pollution that may result from agricultural techniques; to maintain the genetic diversity of the agricultural system and its surroundings, including the protection of the plants and wild habitats; to allow agricultural producers to obtain adequate income and satisfaction from their work, and also offering a secure job.
