DEVELOPMENT OF A MOWER FOR THE MULLING OF OPTIMUM TREES OF TREES IN
Rutkevych Volodymyr – PhD, Senior lecturer of the Department of “Machinery and Equipment for
Agricultural Production” of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University (Sonyachna Str., 3, Vinnytsia, Ukraine,

The article describes the current state of soil retention near the trees of the intensive garden. The
disadvantages of the main soil retention systems in perennial fruit plantations and the inappropriateness
of using a wide range of systemic and contact chemicals for the cultivation of fruit and berry crops are
noted. It is established that the most rational and accessible system of soil retention in gardens is sodhumus
with mowing vegetation as mulch. The disadvantages of the lack of technical means in the field of
horticulture are noted: decrease of labor productivity, lack of harvest by 40-50%, the main restraining
factor of introduction of modern highly efficient technologies. The design and technological scheme of
the rotor mower has been developed for mulching of the accessory strips of trees in intensive gardens,
which will allow to increase the water, temperature, air regime of the soil, to activate microbiological
activity in it, to ensure the reduction of erosion processes. The hydraulic drive of the rotary mower is
offered, which will allow to mow, grind and send the plant mass into the adjacent area of the garden for
mulching more qualitatively.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production. During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured. Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
