Abstract

The paper seeks to present the numerical composition of the mechanical park for the South West Oltenia region, in a national context, on components: tractors, plows, cultivators, sowing machines, sprayers and dredgers, combines, straw and hay balers, forage feeders. At the same time, the load on the machine is also presented. The editing of the study is based on the comparison method, using two variants: time comparison and space comparison. For the period 2013-2015, a dynamic series of three components and multiannual media is being built. Then the regional weights at national level and the load on the machine are established. In the national context, the region is 12.95% of the total number of tractors, 13.15% of the total plow fleet, 10.90% for mechanical cultivators, 16.44% of the total number of mechanical seeders, 4.24% In the case of spraying and dusting machines, 15,10% of the self-propelled grain harvesting fleet, 3,48% for self-propelled forage harvesters, 0,15% for potato harvesters and 6,15%. The number of straw and hay baler and 10,07% of the total feeders. These weights, which are based on the actual number of machines, are influenced by the specific character of the region, determined by the predominance of the arable areas (in the detriment of other land use categories) and the limiting factors of pedoclimatic nature (average annual temperature, rainfall, Soil, etc.
