The analysis shows that comparative indicators of grain quality in ecological or intensive technologies of wheat, rye and barley growing, i.e. structural elements of yield and grain quality are lower in ecological farms. To a large extent it is determined by the weediness of ecological crops. According to the literature analysis, it was established that the existing biologically active and environmentally friendly plant protection preparations have little effect on cereal crops. The relationship between the parameters of false flax seed distribution within a drilling strip and the coulter was established; an experimental coulter for strip drilling was designed; its technological and energetic evaluation was made, and an analytical method to evaluate seed distribution within a drilling strip was proposed; experimental research of false flax drilling together with barley was carried out and the technological elements of barley and false flax mixture were investigated.
