Abstract
The need of preservation and rational use of natural resources such is land
requires the elimination of the usual practice of production and application of new
technologies and new types of machines and tools. However, massive acceptation
and successful application of new technologies and new types of machines and
tools in practice requires certificates of manifestation the positive technical,
technological and economic effects obtained through appropriate research.
Bearing this in mind, the aim of this paper is to examine the economic
effects of applying new technology and new types of machines and tools for the
arrangement of soil’s surface and depth in sunflower production.
In this sense, conducted economic analysis shows that a change in
technology and application of new types of machines and tools in sunflower
production is economically justified, given that there is a reduction of variable
costs per kilogram of produced sunflower by 4.77%. The research and results
obtained in this analysis represent only the first phase of research of the economic
effects of application of new types of machines and tools in crop production (in this
case in sunflower production). The results indicate the need to expand research to
other important crops.
