Methodological Approaches to a Comprehensive Assessment of the Economic Efficiency in Using Innovative Technologies in Agriculture: A No-till Example

Abstract

The article substantiates the need to develop methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of using innovative technologies in agriculture, taking into account their characteristics. As an example, no-till technology was chosen, the use of which demonstrates both advantages and disadvantages associated with its specifics in specific production conditions. To substantiate management decisions on additional investments and technology changes in various practical situations, an algorithm and a system of criteria for a comprehensive assessment of the economic efficiency of using no-till technology are proposed. Testing of the proposed methodological support was carried out on the example of various soil and climatic zones of Stavropol, the southern region of Russia.
