The article presents the results of research to substantiate the choice of optimal machine complexes in terms of technical and technological, economic and environmental efficiency. Optimization of machine complexes in crop production is carried out for each technological operation according to the operational indicators of machines in accordance with the technical characteristics of machines, taking into account the natural and technological conditions of work. In the article the substantiation of the choice of the sowing unit on the basis of simulation modeling of work of the unit during working shift is considered. As a result of modeling the value of technical and operational indicators of seeders is received: productivity and fuel consumption on the basis of which indicators of economic and ecological efficiency are defined.
