The efficiency of resource-saving technologies, which depends on a set of interrelated factors: crop rotation with a certain set and alternation of spring barley, a system of agricultural machinery, a combination of primary and presowing soil cultivation taking into account local natural and climatic conditions, the phytosanitary condition of fields, the balance of mineral nutrition elements of plants in the soil, etc. In this regard, at present, a very urgent task is to increase the yield of spring barley while simultaneously reducing the costs of its production, through the use of resource-saving cultivation technology, including minimizing soil cultivation, using combined agricultural machines and tools. It has been proven that the applied soil cultivation systems and methods of chemical plant protection not only contribute to the saving of resources, but also ensure the production of environmentally friendly products. The aim of the study was a comparative agrotechnical assessment of traditional and resource-saving (minimum and zero) technologies for cultivating spring barley in the conditions of the West Kazakhstan region. Our scientific research is based on maximum concentration and efficient use of all material and technical resources, as well as on the wide application of the latest scientific achievements and advanced experience in the technology of spring barley cultivation. As a result of our research, the agroecological efficiency of resource-saving soil cultivation technology for growing spring barley in the conditions of the West Kazakhstan region was established.
