The Modeling of the Production Process of High-Starch Corn Hybrids of Different Maturity Groups

Abstract

The article presents the results of mathematical modeling based on the construction and use of various images of the object, process or system. The research involves the study of the dependence of the level of productivity and valuable farming traits of corn hybrids in the form of mathematical models. Field research was carried out during 2011-2017 on the experimental fields of the Department of Crop Production, Breeding and Bioenergy Crops of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University, at the state enterprise “Research Farm “Kordelivske” of the Institute of Potato Production of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine under conditions of the right-bank Forest-Steppe in accordance with the guidelines provided in “Methodology of Field Experiments in Corn”. The use of computer technology, in particular, cluster analysis, from our point of view, allows us to approach the difficult task of improving the efficiency of the correct choice of hybrids and technologies to obtain the maximum level of bioethanol yield per unit area of maize hybrids. An ecological-genetic model of quantitative traits was used to study the phenotypic productivity of corn hybrids and to establish the influence on the formation of their traits. The construction of the model is based on the hierarchy of manifestation of productivity traits in ontogenesis and the correspondence of their manifestation in organogenesis. The model consists of three modules of traits including the resulting one and double-component that reflect phenotypic implementation of the genetic formula. The resulting traits are those that have environmentally stable correlation and the highest total impact on the final resulting trait, namely, the yield. According to the results of researches of mathematical models of the influence of weather conditions on the formation of phenotypic productivity of corn hybrids of different maturity groups, both general biological regularities and group differences of trait formation have been established. Thus, the analysis of the differences between the groups of early and mid-early corn hybrids, in general reveals that their growth and development are affected to a relative extent by the amount of effective temperatures, amount of precipitation and HTC. In fact, the maturity groups studied differ insufficiently, and the main differences can be observed only in the variability of the traits studied or the closeness of their relationships with each other. However, mid hybrids respond somewhat differently to environmental factors, which allows to develop the elements of adaptive cultivation technology for each maturity group. Based on the results of cluster analysis, cluster dendrograms were created using the odd-numbered group method with the determination of Euclidean distances.

The Heap Parts Movement on the Shareboard Surface of the Potato Harvesting Machine

“…The Government of Ukraine has chosen a strategic course for development in the agrarian and industrial direction [8]. However, in order to successfully enter the western markets, it is necessary to ensure, first of all, the competitiveness of our products, which is achieved by the complex mechanization of technological processes, reducing labor costs, increasing the yield and quality of the obtained products [2], [11].…”

Peculiarities of Reproduction of “Pinus nigra” Arn. in Ukraine

“…Linear gain was measured every 10 days. The height of the plants was recorded using a Suunto altimeter with an accuracy of 0.5 m, and the height of the small plants -using a rail with up to 0.1 m accuracy [12].…”

Dynamics of Development of Production and Export of Agricultural Products in the Context of Foreign Trade in Australia

“…It is possible to compare Australia with Ukraine, which is also specialised in agricultural production but has quite different natural and climatic conditions, and much more fertile soils (Chancellor et al, 2021;Koshkalda et al, 2020). The technological part of agriculture grows rapidly and has recently come to use nanotechnology, which helps to create hybrids of existing plant species, increasing their economic value (Palamarchuk et al, 2021;Antle, 2019). The use of manual labour is still widespread in Ukraine, which, despite all climatic advantages, makes the agricultural sector of Ukraine much less competitive.…”
