Course content
|
The course mainly includes growing aspects of precision agriculture. - Possibilities of using geographic information systems (GIS) in the cultivation of field crops. - Methods of evaluation of spatial heterogeneity (remote sensing, yield maps, sampling soil, soil scanner). - Methods of evaluation and the importance of time dynamics of production processes, the use of growth and development models field crops. - Statistical methods and interpolation techniques for precision agriculture. - Creation and use of management zones. - Processing and interpretation of results obtained by imaging, sampling and monitoring, creation application maps. - Variable cultivation measures to optimize abiotic factors (nutrition, irrigation) and biotic factors (weeds, diseases, pests). - Assessment of economic and environmental benefits of precision farming methods. - Factors influencing the implementation of precision agriculture methods in practice, possibilities and perspectives further development. - Examples of the application of precision agriculture technologies in agricultural practice.

Learning outcomes
|
To teach students to effectively use modern technologies to solve problems of spatial heterogeneity of land and temporal dynamics of production processes in the cultivation of field crops in permanent crop production systems. To acquaint them with the latest knowledge in the field of precision agriculture and the possibilities of increasing the economic efficiency of cultivation measures, including reducing their negative impact on the environment.
