The basic principles of construction and the structure of the system for remote monitoring of the state of soils of grape agrocenoses

Abstract

The article solves the urgent problem of developing a system for remote monitoring of the soil conditions of grape agrocenoses in the southern regions of Russia. It is shown that such monitoring is required to be carried out constantly because of the high anthropogenic load and critical decrease in soil fertility. Experimental studies showing the possibility of satellite remote monitoring of the soil conditions have been carried out, while the accuracy of determining the humus content in the soil when shooting with a camera in a laboratory and using satellite images obtained with multispectral equipment is no worse than 10-20 percent compared to chemical laboratory methods. For the experiment, 22 experimental plots, the condition of the soil on which was determined in the laboratory according to Tyurin and by shooting and processing images of a high-resolution digital camera, were laid. Synchronous data from the Russian satellite Kanopus-V were studied for the same areas. Analytical dependences of the humus content in the soil on the brightness level of the red spectral channel were obtained. The structure of the information system for remote satellite monitoring of the soil conditions in the region is proposed.
