The concepts of indicative planning in AIC
Planning is examined as а most important method of managing the activities in the AIC. Its role in market conditions is determined. The approach to planning as a function of state and economic regulation is justified. The nature and principles of the utilisation of indicators in planning are explained. Practical recommendations оп developing forecasts, programmes and other planning materials for different agricultural enterprises are provided.

Planning as an administrative function in the conditions of market economy
Planning as a managerial function in the market conditions. Part of scientists and enterprise managers think that in market economy planning is substituted by the law of costs. The article makes it understandable that planning has its role in any conditions from the point of view of using it as a function, method or instrument of managing. In market conditions this category is reflected on the macro level self planning (business planning) on micro level.

Rape virus diseases and the opportunities to improve the resistance via breeding
It has been demonstrated that the fungal diseases in winter and spring rape have economic significance. On the basis of the literature analysis and own surveys the symptoms and the types of viruses causing the disease have been described in detail. The specialisation and the types of pests transmitting the disease have been studied, which is very important for both breeding as well as for developing an integrated system of protecting rape from harmful objects.

Effective mineral additive to the pigs feedings
There have bееn studied the chemical content, properties and dosages of utilisation of sea salt for balancing the patterп of the mаin mineral substances used for feeding sows. It has bееn determined that а higher level of mineral exchange positively influenced the productivity of sows. The survival rate of the newly born piglets in the experimental groups was 4.6-6.6% higher than in the control groups. The first piglets grew faster аnd were less affected bу the intestinebelly diseases. The disease rate in the groups was 11.2-12.0% and 21. 7% respectively. The utilisation of salt increased the humoral factors of resistance. The mineral additive caused no allergenic reaction. It was confirmed bу the data оn the concentration of the sialic acids (12.30 +/- 0.86 - 16.93+/- 1.22 иnits). It was noticed that the phagocytic activity of blood increased, as well as the phagocytic number аnd index. The best effect was at the proportion of 0.3-0. 5% of mineral additive to the weight unit of dry matter.

The efficiency of the utilisation of filmy and naked barley in feeding forgrowing pigs
It has been determined that the chemical composition of the two sorts of barley significantly differ. The latter has much more exchangeable energy and raw protein, but much less cellulose, its utilisation for feeding the piglets grown without sows lead to a higher weight gain at less costs. But high yield varieties of the first are better for the main period of feeding.

Priorities in the requirements to the agricultural machinery
The main requirement to the agricultural machinery is ensuring the high quality of the technological operations. Along with that the machines must ensure high productivity, have simple design and be reliable. The grade assessment of the influence of the individual machinery characteristics on the efficiency of agricultural operations can be used as coefficients in comparison calculations. Some types of machinery have different meaning of the priorities, depending on their function.

Damage to the agricultural properties of the soil caused by operation of agricultural machinery
The changes of agrotechnical properties of soil from blow loadings of agricultural implements аnd machines are being studied. The generalized model of sticky-elastic environment is taken as а тесhаniсаl model. The choice of the model is based оn the experimental data. It is pointed оut, that undеr blow loading of agricultural defektors оn the soil the porousity аnd air-penetration get much worse. Аnd as for the soil density compared with static loading, it increases.
