The use of elements of digital agriculture to obtain climate-based crop yields in specialized crop rotations

Relevance. Precision agriculture has the potential to provide better and more sustainable food production. This term means the use of various technical and software tools for collecting, analyzing and applying information about the state of agrocenoses and implementing mechanisms for their correction directly on the field. Currently, there are many software products on the market that offer to «digitize» production processes in the agro-industrial complex. Most often, this includes the compilation of electronic maps of fields and (based on them) the differentiation of sowing and application of fertilizers and pesticides.

Methods. A wide range of field, statistical and analytical methods were used.

Results. The data on the possibility and effectiveness of using various elements of digital technologies in precision agriculture in countries with different levels of development of both agriculture and IT technologies are analyzed. The possibilities of using one of the digital agricultural platforms in the cultivation of crops in a specialized crop rotation have been studied. The data of conducting an experiment with flax and annual ryegrass on a digitized field and using modernized equipment are presented. The features of the algorithms of the modules of the information and analytical plant management system for specialized crop rotations with the participation of flax are revealed in real field conditions.
