Intensification of agricultural production as the most important condition for scientific and technical progress

The article reveals the specialization and concentra-tion of production, extensive chemicalization, the devel-opment of land reclamation, the introduction of integrated mechanization, the application of scientific achievements and best practices. Consecutive intensification presupposes carrying out, in a definite order, all measures that increase the crop culture and yield of agricultural crops, the quality of products, and labor productivity, which contribute to a reduction in the cost of production. Among the activities that increase the culture of agriculture, many of which are available for an individual farm without additional costs or require so minimal costs that they are difficult to account for. These include the optimal timing of work, plowing in comparison with spring plowing, crop rotation and the correct alternation of crops. Thus, intensification requires additional investment of funds, and for this it is necessary to have accumula-tions. In every household, the main way to accumulation is through increasing the productivity of labor, reducing the cost of production, increasing the profitability of pro-duction and obtaining a larger mass of profit.
