ENTROPY METHODS FOR ASSESSING THE QUALITY AND STABILITY OF TECHNOLOGICAL OPERATIONS OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINES
The article substantiates the methodology for evaluating the technological operations of agricultural machines, based on entropy indicators of quality and stability. The variants of its definition, based on graphical constructions and analytical calculations, are considered. The stability factors of individual operations in the cultivation and harvesting of potatoes are given. The compliance of the levels of agrotechnical requirements with the quality of performance of individual operations has been evaluated The operations, that require further improvement of technologies and technical means for their implementation, are identified.
