Abstract

This research is devoted to the topical issue of restoring agriculture in liberated territories, which is associated with the risks of mining, pollution, littering, overcoming the consequences of environmental disasters, soil degradation, etc., the need to carry out the specified work and conduct research on the possibility of growing plants in post-war conditions and the prospects for effective plant cultivation in areas of risky agriculture. The purpose of the article is to highlight the creation of an information system for analyzing the condition of plants, designed for agro-industrial activities related to the cultivation of bioenergy and cereal crops, which provides for the collection, processing, and recommendations on the condition of plants, which in turn allows determining the feasibility (rationality) of growing a particular plant variety in a particular region, plan field work, processing, and irrigation of plants.
The article substantiates the need to conduct numerous experiments to identify plant development trends in the regions under study. It is proposed to use the collected statistical data to determine the appropriate (minimum necessary) amount of bioenergy and cereal crops, the necessary statistics on the reference indicators of normal plant development, and indicators of fruiting. A method is proposed for obtaining information about the current state of plants with detailed recording of development conditions and yield results, based on which means of abstraction should be used to develop the basis for an advisory information system built using appropriate methods of analysis and synthesis. A mathematical description of the determination of the effect of the environment and growing conditions (impact on plants) for any bioparameter is given: by plant weight, root or stem system length, number of damaged plants or number of seedlings, etc., designed to assess the suitability of a plant for agribusiness in a specific geographical region. The proposed Use-case, BPMN, and Dataflow diagrams illustrate, with a certain degree of detail, the sequence of actions and information processing for the plant condition analysis research process, which forms the basis for building an information system for plant condition analysis. Prospects for further research include the need for a more detailed study of each component of the proposed information system, clarifying the mechanisms for generating conclusions about the feasibility of growing plants in a particular region and components of advisory services for organizing activities in a specific agricultural sector of the economy.
