This study aims to determine the effects of canola biodiesel on engine performance characteristics and torque rise. In the experiments, canola biodiesel (B100) and diesel (B0) were used as fuel with mixtures by introducing canola biodiesel into diesel in proportions of 5% (B5), 10% (B10), 20% (B20), 50% (B50), and 80% (B80). These fuels were tested on an air-cooled direct injection four-cylinder diesel engine. Tests were run based methods indicated by the standard No. TS 1231. According to the results of the study, the engine’s torque rise values for diesel (B0), B5, B10, B20, B50, B80 and biodiesel (B100) fuels were 27%, 26%, 25%, 24%, 23%, 22% and 21% respectively. It was found that the increasing ratio of biodiesel in the mixture reduced the torque rise values. It was observed that the difference between the torque rise values of B5 and B0 were insignificant.

In this article is set out energy-saving technology of oilseeds cultivation as minimizing tillage (using erosion control instruments) to ensure rational use of energy, restore soil fertility, which is optimized ecological state agro-ecosystems. The substantiation of improvement of eco-phyto-sanitary condition of crops, depending on the use of rational methods of energy-saving technology, which reduces the total cost of energy for 24,3-32,5%, the volume of fuel consumption, which improves productivity and increases crop yield at 21-29 %.
