Assessment of the possibility of intensification rice production in the conditions of the Krasnodar region

Rice production ensures food security in many countries of the world and is a strategically important agricultural sector. Rice cultivation involves many steps and processes that require careful planning. At the same time, rice production technology is one of the most resource-intensive. Special requirements are imposed not only on agricultural technology, but also on the rice irrigation regime. The article discusses the issues of intensifying rice production in the Krasnodar region, which consists of an integrated approach, including the use of modern highly productive and high-quality varieties of rice, as well as the use of effective soil cultivation technologies, competent management of natural resources and many other approaches. An integrated approach should include not only quantitative and qualitative values of indicators and criteria affecting the process of rice production and its productivity itself, but also take into account their relationships, which also significantly affect the quality and quantity of the resulting rice grain, but also the reclamation state of the soil. The importance of rational operation of rice systems is noted. The authors provide statistical data, materials from research institutions, results of production experiments and literary sources of various factors affecting rice yield and using statistical and analytical methods, on the basis of which conclusions are drawn, which include the need for digitalization of the agro-industrial sector of Russia, optimization of existing technologies and improving the efficiency of rice production by creating digital models of farming plots. The use of all these tools will make it possible to create pioneering nature-like technologies in the Russian Federation and bring the efficiency of agriculture to a higher level.
