METHOD AND DEVICE OF AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF PROCESSES OF CROP GROWING Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A01G1/00 G01N33/24 B64D9/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to the field of agriculture, in particular to the field crop production. The method comprises estimation of the soil composition of the cultivated land and its production potential based on soil samples, the status monitoring of crop development on video images of crops, obtained by visual control module, and man-made impacts on technological processes. Taking and delivery of soil samples and fragments of crops from depressed sites of the cultivated land is performed using robotic devices, in the operation of which the harmful effect on soil and crops is eliminated. At that, assessment of soil composition and its production potential and the status monitoring of crop development is carried out in two stages. At that, at the first stage the assessment of the soil composition and its production potential is carried out by comparison of video images of crops, located on the cultivated land. According to the results of comparison of video images the cultivated land is divided into areas that are homogeneous in composition of the soil and its production potential. At the second stage of assessment the depressed areas of the cultivated land are revealed, on which the man-made impacts are necessary, increasing the production potential of the soil. From these depressed areas the delivery of fragments of crops and soil samples is carried out. After that, the laboratory analysis of comparison of soil and crops is carried out for each depressed area of the cultivated land. The man-made impacts are developed and implemented on the technological processes of cultivation, the crops and soil to increase crop productivity on depressed areas of the cultivated land. The device comprises the laboratory-control complex and the module of visual control of the state of crops on the cultivated land. The device comprises the module of delivery of crop fragments from the cultivated land into the laboratory-control complex. At that the module of delivery of plant fragments from the cultivated land is used as unmanned flying machine. The module of visual control of the state of crops on the cultivated land, the laboratory-control complex, and the module of delivery of crop fragments from the cultivated land are interconnected infocommunication bond.

EFFECT: group of inventions enables to increase the efficiency of control of processes of crop growing in real time without damaging the soil and crops.
