Lecture Title:

High-Tech Technical Systems for Ensuring Environmental Safety of Processing and Use of by-Products of Animal Husbandry

Abstract:

In Russia, more than 500 million tons of secondary organic resources are generated annually, of which less than 50% is returned to agricultural turnover in the form of by-products of animal husbandry and crop production. This leads to loss of soil fertility, potential harvest, and risks of environmental pollution. The solution to this problem requires the introduction of high-tech technologies and digital systems that ensure the effective involvement of livestock by-products in a closed-loop economy in the form of highly effective organic and organomineral fertilizers with soil-restoring properties.

According to minimal estimates, the introduction of high-tech technologies for involving livestock by-products into agricultural turnover as highly effective fertilizers will increase the gross grain harvest by 12 million tons per year, and the ecological and economic effect of reducing the risks of environmental pollution and improving the health of citizens is estimated at 500 to 1,500 billion rubles.

Lecture Title:

Status and prospects for the introduction of digital technologies to grow crops under the changing climate (Altai Krai example)

Abstract:

Modern conditions of production development require increasing efficiency in the use of agro-climatic potential of farms based on the latest advances in agricultural technologies. One such area is the development and implementation of digital crop technologies. The Alrai Krai is successfully implementing a digital weather data service based on a network of more than 100 field soil stations, which allows to carry out current analysis of the conditions of plant development in the fields and make operational management decisions.

Technologies for differentiated application of seeds and fertilizers according to field productivity zones based on task-maps are used. Work is being carried out on the differentiated use of plant protection products, identification of weeds, diseases and pests based on technical vision. The implementation of digital solutions, combined with the use of the latest technology, varieties, seeds, fertilizers, and plant protection products, makes it possible to increase the efficiency of land use by 1.5-2 times, ensuring the long-term economic sustainability of farms.

Lecture Title:

Experience in the Application and Prospects of Using AI in Agrobiotechnology

Abstract:

The article considers current trends in digitalization and intellectualization of the production direction of agriculture. It offers an analysis and experience of using artificial intelligence technologies when working with autonomous vertical farms, as one of the types of urban agricultural production in an autonomous artificial and controlled environment. A number of issues requiring further research to improve the efficiency of urban agricultural production are highlighted.

The issues of changing the growing time, size, weight, concentration of required (useful) substances, and the content of secondary metabolites of plants grown in controlled and managed conditions of autonomous urban agricultural production are considered separately. A synergetic hypothesis of "plant stress management" is also proposed, as identifying order parameters in managing the vegetation (development) of plants to achieve target indicators of their productivity.
