DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN PHYTOPATHOLOGY
The article provides an analysis of digital technologies used in plant protection. The examples of the effectiveness of the use of these technologies, such as the development of the prediction of contamination of crops of the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Biological Plant Protection using a remote-controlled multicopter, characterized by high efficiency and low labor intensity are shown. In the samples obtained using the proposed device, an average of 1.3 times more spores were found than in samples collected in the same field with the control device OZR-1MP. For interactive practitioners in plant protection in the FILB VIZR, a server has been developed an interactive database on crop pests in the SQL environment. Similar projects include the interactive “Atlas of weeds, pests and diseases of agricultural crops” and the program “CORAL - Pests and diseases of agricultural crops”, which determine the sources of diseases by entering external signs of pests and damage. On the basis of the data analyzed, to the current technologies of confrontation, phytopathogens should include early diagnostics and prediction, which are most effective for diseases associated with the phytophagus carrier or pollinator; groups of diseases caused by seed infection persisting in weeds, in the soil, or in precursor cultures. Existing forecasting systems using one or several parameters that affect the vital activity of a pathogen are able to assess the likelihood and extent of the disease. The article also provides an analytical assessment of computer forecasting systems of the All-Russian Research Institute of Biological Plant Protection, FSBI VIZR, FSBI VNIIF, Agrodozor LLC, Moscow Research Institute of Agriculture Nemchinovka, Central Russian Branch of FSBI FNC Michurin ", FSBEI of HE" Tambov State University named after G. R. Derzhavina ", the results are presented in tabular form. As a result, positive results were highlighted and the prospect of using digital technologies in plant protection was confirmed.
