The paper presents modern agricultural techniques in plant protection. The application of navigation systems with high-precision correction signal (RTK) from the manufacturer AgLeader and the use of OptRx sensors enabled the precise application of chemical agents through a prepared plant protection map. The use of telematics systems enables machine operators to work in groups on the same production area and with accurate information on the condition of the crop available at any time. With the development of technology for sending information about the state of the production area, it is possible to send the same to a virtual cloud where it can be analyzed manually or using machine learning.
