Abstract

The object of this study was the technology of precision agriculture and remote monitoring of weather conditions. The task to evaluate the effectiveness of using precision farming and precision irrigation technologies in the activities of agricultural enterprises under different conditions, in particular, different climatic and weather conditions, has been considered. To solve the task, a hardware-software system for smart irrigation and remote monitoring of weather conditions in the activities of agricultural enterprises during the cultivation of agricultural crops was designed and described. Results of the system's performance were analyzed in the activities of the Ukrainian agricultural company, which grew potatoes of various varieties in the Kyiv oblast (Ukraine) from 2021 to 2023. The results show that the average yield of potatoes of different varieties without irrigation for three years of observation was 29.74 t/ha, with irrigation – 48.99 t/ha, and with smart irrigation – 55.26 t/ha. At the same time, in the latter case, water, human, and financial resources were saved. The increase in yield with smart irrigation compared to yield with conventional irrigation over the three years of observation was on average 12.8 %. According to the results of the implementation of the hardware-software system for smart irrigation and remote monitoring of weather conditions in Ukraine, the effect of the possible implementation of this system by agricultural companies in the Republic of Kazakhstan was analyzed. The forecast of the average yield of potatoes for the period from 2024 to 2026 was built based on the model of linear weighted moving average, taking into account corrections in the case of using smart irrigation. Data on potato yield from 1990 to 2023 were chosen as the basis. The use of smart irrigation according to the described technology could increase the yield of potatoes of various varieties on average from 31.71 t/ha to 35.78 t/ha in comparison with the forecast values of yield without irrigation at the level of 19.25 t/ha. This confirms the need to apply the transfer of precision farming technologies to increase the yield of agricultural crops, in particular potatoes, and the productivity of agricultural companies
