    abstract = {One of the key areas of research of the All-Russia Research Institute of Arable Farming and Soil
Erosion Control is the creation of normative and reference support for modern farming systems. Within the
framework of this direction, the staff of the institute developed the register of technologies for cultivating
cereals for the conditions of the Central Chernozem Region which is represented by a software decision support
in the cultivation of crops which includes 36 technologies for cultivating 12 grain crops of different intensity
levels for 11 predecessors. The electronic version of the register has an application that makes it possible to
make scientifically-based choice of technology for cultivation of presented cereal crops based on available
natural and material resources in the economy which allows quickly, efficiently and objectively to select the
most optimal types of technologies for cultivating cereals in specific farm conditions. In addition, the electronic
version of the register contains reference information including more than 120 units of agricultural machinery
and more than 200 varieties and hybrids of cereals. The technologies show their purpose, the conditions for
effective use, the expected output indicators, the list of technological methods, the need for natural and
anthropogenic resources which is very important for production workers. For each culture and predecessor
created a database, that includes the necessary normative indicators for all resources. The advantages of this
development include the universality of the developed algorithm for the scientifically-based choice of
technology for cultivating grain crops which consists in the possibility of adapting the program not only to the
conditions of the Central Black Earth Region but also to other regions of the Russian Federation and another
countries, provided that the database is adjusted. The electronic version of the register is an important applied
tool for agricultural producers of all forms of ownership, agricultural specialists, economists and scientists.}
