Optimization becomes the integral function of the engineering activity connected with design, production and production realization. In this connection, are defined: research objective is prove means of optimum decisions adoption by agro-engineer. As a result of the interdisciplinary analysis the concept of decision-making as choice from possible alternatives of problem situation optimum way for exit from in professional activity of agro-engineer taking into account specifics, features and conditions of implementation of the chosen decision is concretized. Specifics of agricultural production and feature of its reflection in mathematical models of decision-making are considered. During research the contradiction between need of optimum methods decisions use for professional activity of agro-engineers and absence in curricula preparation that is, in our opinion, one of the main reasons for which there is no introduction of optimizing calculations in practice of agrarian production came to light. Thus it is necessary to make change to the content of mathematical training of agro-engineers, having allocated the substantial line directed for formation of mathematical modeling skills. Methods of decision-making can be considered as a basis for formation of all-methodological representations by agro-engineer and interdisciplinary integration of natural-science and special disciplines.agro-engineerproductiondecisionoptimizationагроинженерпроизводстворешениеоптимизация[Анохин, П.
