Abstract
Introduction. Modern agricultural production is based on the use of resource-saving technologies for agricultural production. An important element of these technologies is the use of mineral fertilizers and special importance is given to the uniformity of applying them.
Aim of the Study. The study is aimed at improving the process of applying mineral and lime fertilizers through the development of a pneumatic centrifugal working body.
Materials and Methods. For the theoretical studies, there were used the principles of mathematics and theoretical mechanics. The experimental studies were carried out at the testing ground of the Institute of Mechanics and Energy of Mordovia State University. The quality assessment of the operation of the unit equipped with experimental working bodies was carried out in accordance with GOST 28714-2007.
Results. To better distribute mineral fertilizers of heterogeneous granulometric composition over the field surface, there has been proposed a working element, the operating principle of which is based on the total use of mechanical and pneumatic effects on the granules of the agricultural inputs. The use of the developed working bodies makes it possible to increase the uniformity of fertilizer application by 17.6%.
Discussion and Conclusion. As a result of the conducted study, there has been proven the effectiveness of using the developed pneumocentrifugal working body, which makes it possible to increase the uniformity of distribution of mineral and lime fertilizers.

Keywords: mineral fertilizers, working body, uniformity of application, kinetic energy, experimental unit, pattern of distribution
