Scientific approaches to the comprehensive assessment of biologized agricultural technologies

Goal. To substantiate scientific approaches to the comprehensive assessment of biologized agricultural technologies for their selection and optimization. Methods. Systemic (structural study of the object); interdisciplinary research (a set of synthetic, integrative means); expert descriptive (analysis of literature and other sources). Results. Further development of the greening of agriculture requires the use of systemic approaches and an information base for the design of biologized agricultural technologies under the conditions of a specific agricultural enterprise and agricultural landscape. The requirements and evaluation indicators (technological Ct, ecological Cb, and economic Ce) of agricultural technologies were determined following the developed evaluation methodology. Biologization was carried out by synthesizing variants of biotechnological alternatives (BTA), their comprehensive evaluation with the selection of the optimal option, and its inclusion in the basic agricultural technology. The functional scheme of the subsystem of basic biotechnological alternatives in the adaptive farming system was presented, which included protection, fertilizer, and composting systems, as well as its connections with the design of BTA, biologization means available on the market, and the available relevant regulatory and technological documentation. Conclusions. A methodological approach to the comprehensive assessment of biologized agricultural technologies was formed, which could be presented in the form of 5 algorithmically related stages. The option determined the so-called design object for each element of a typical technology. Most often, there were 3–4 such elements. If the option did not meet the selected criteria, a new one was synthesized and the development cycle was repeated.
