Abstract
The development of agriculture determines the position of any state in the world economy and gives them significant advantages in solving food, raw material and energy problems in the domestic and world markets. Today, the preference is given to advanced technologies, namely, precision farming (crop management) systems based on the use of satellite and computer technolog. The research was conducted to reduce the unit cost of agricultural products and increase productivity per unit of expendable resources by remote sensing and GIS technologies.
On the basis of the obtained data maps of agricultural lands were constructed and the level of moisture content of the crop in different fields of the field was traced. The speed of harvesting is calculated and the optimal speed of transport is established, which prevents loss of their qualitative and quantitative properties. Given the high spectral reflectivity of plants, moisture content of barley was determined by color in the images of the spectra obtained in the IR ranges. Geoinformation systems trace the route, speed of technology, fuel level and other indicators, as well as calculated fuel consumption, engine power, speed of the car over different periods of time.
