АКТУАЛЬНОСТЬ ПРОВЕДЕНИЯ МОНИТОРИНГА СЕЛЬСКОХОЗЯЙСТВЕННЫХ КУЛЬТУР И ХВОЙНОГО ПОДРОСТА В ВЕГЕТАТИВНЫЙ ПЕРИОД

Abstract

Modern agriculture faces a number of challenges, including climate change, resource constraints and the need to increase productivity. In this context, the assessment of quantitative parameters of crop growth by technical means during the growing season becomes particularly relevant. The scientific approach to this problem is becoming a key tool for optimizing production and ensuring food security, sustainable development of forest ecosystems. (Research purpose) To substantiate the relevance of monitoring crops and undergrowth during artificial reforestation during the vegetative period. (Materials and methods) Video monitoring of agricultural crops, automated segment recognition, geospatial data, literature review, statistical analysis were used. (Results and discussion) The statistics and problems of existing measures for monitoring coniferous undergrowth after reforestation measures were analyzed. The methods of using video monitoring of agricultural crops, in particular, for analyzing the yield of corn shoots, were considered. The use of a video monitoring system to control the care of coniferous undergrowth in the first five years after reforestation was substantiated. Key limitations and difficulties were cited, including high labor costs, insufficient monitoring, lack of systematic approach, limited human labor and low speed and accuracy of data processing. It has been shown that these factors emphasize the need for innovations in methods of controlling the growth of crops and caring for coniferous young. (Conclusions) It was revealed that the video monitoring system of coniferous undergrowth is one of the solutions to the problems of monitoring the condition of forest areas. It was determined that it allows assessing the quality of planting work, determining the growth and health indicators of seedlings, monitoring the environment by indirect signs and, due to a high level of digitalization and automation, responding quickly to violations. It was stated that the assessment of the parameters of crop growth in real time with the use of technical solutions makes it possible to identify problems such as diseases and parasites at an early stage, which will improve the possibilities for their prevention.
