DIGITAL EVALUATION OF BLACK SOIL SLICE WITH GWYDDION SOFTWARE

Abstract

Today, almost any process in agriculture needs to be applied to it by various kinds of software, which allows you to get a more accurate description of various actions. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in conducting a digital assessment of the slice of the black soil using the Gwyddion software. (Materials and methods) The use of Gwyddion software makes it possible to determine the fractal dimension of real soils of various types (clay, sandy, sandy loam, loamy, calcareous, peat, black). The article presents the material of the analysis of the soil section in the black soil region. (Results and discussion) Black soils have fractal properties, and, accordingly, fractal methods are applicable for their analysis. We have compiled a mathematical model of soil treatment with various agricultural machines and aggregates. Three-dimensional maps of the dimension of black soils were determined and constructed using the Gwyddion software. There were evaluated sections with various plant inclusions and completely without them. (Conclusions) According to the results of the study, the smallest fractal dimension is 1.61, and the maximum is 1.8, which is explained by various plant inclusions in the soil. The use of digital tools for the organization of project activities makes it possible to achieve significant changes in the results of the study of soil structures. Digital technologies make it possible to visualize a process that is difficult to perceive. The method of application to soils of category IV (heavy clay) requires further study. To analyze changes in dissipative systems, it is necessary to create a mathematical model of this process. The advantages of the software are a graphical interface based on the popular GTK+ interface toolkit.
