Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Individual Mapping and Accounting of the Use of Land Resources

The information component of the management system “precision agriculture” is the accounting of agricultural activities using unmanned aerial vehicles. The use of drones ensures the identification and parameterization of land resources of agricultural enterprises. The technology of aerial visual monitoring of land resources is recommended to be used to distinguish homogeneous land plots, which are the object of accumulation of production costs, for the formation of individual maps of agricultural activities. The procedure for accounting for the costs of agricultural materials, fuel and lubricants, depreciation of special equipment and personnel wages for the main automatic monitoring of the movement of agricultural equipment and workers through land plots has been clarified. An information scheme for automated calculation of the cost of agricultural products of crop production has been developed using a detailed calculation unit - the weight of finished products from one hectare of land. The method of detecting deviations from norms and adjusting agricultural activities with the help of drones has been improved in order to minimize the costs of agricultural enterprises. Account information is proposed to be used for operational and strategic management of agricultural enterprises, which is aimed at optimizing financial results from agricultural activities.
