INTRODUCTION OF PRECISION FARMING TOOLS AT AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES

Abstract

In the context of digitalization of the economy and the introduction of various innovations in the agricultural industry, the study of automated processes that are aimed at improving or replacing traditional methods of processing and caring for plants is of paramount importance.  The classification of business processes by stages of the production cycle, functional areas and degree of automation is systematized, which makes it possible to structure the process of their improvement through the introduction of precision farming tools. The importance of universality of the process of introducing innovations at agricultural enterprises is determined. An algorithm for the step-by-step process of introducing precision farming tools at agricultural enterprises in the crop production sector has been developed, which allows for a smooth transition from traditional technologies to new ones. Factors influencing the dynamics of costs associated with the introduction of precision farming tools are identified. The directions for the implementation of the process of introducing precision farming tools are considered, additional costs for each area are determined. The proposed algorithm will allow management personnel to minimize the likelihood of erroneous actions during the implementation of the selected technology.
