The article examines the technological chain of grain production in the USSR with minimal use of pesticides. It was formed and improved throughout the existence of the USSR. Its components were: removal of organic fertilizers to the fields - deep plowing - sowing - treatment of fields and crops with pesticides - harvesting - cleaning and drying - grain storage. The article describes each of these elements in detail, using illustrations for clarity. The article examines the treatment of fields and crops with pesticides as a key element of this chain. If a necessary condition for the implementation of this technological chain was the increase in the number of livestock, as a result of which organic fertilizers were formed in large quantities, then the development of agricultural machinery and the production of pesticides was sufficient. The article emphasizes that the use of pesticides was limited. Many pesticides were banned completely, while others were used in small quantities and within certain periods. The main reasons for such restrictive measures, due to the social system of the USSR, were the production of high-quality bread products for the population and animal feed and the preservation of the environment.
