The use of precision farming technologies in the cultivation of winter wheat in the conditions of the Orel region

Abstract

The analysis of the use of precision farming systems for the cultivation of winter wheat of the Moskovskaya 39 variety in the climatic and soil conditions of the Orel region of the Russian Federation is carried out. The value of the vegetation index NDVI was used as a reference indicator for determining the amount of macronutrients introduced. The effect of applied fertilizers on winter wheat plants was found to be stimulating for their targeted distribution. The application of fertilizers without taking into account the needs for this site led to uneven plant development, lodging, a decrease in yield and an increase in the cost of production.
