Digital Technologies in Agriculture of Arid Territories of Altai

Abstract

The soil resources of the dry Altai steppe and, in particular, their fertility in their evolutionary development are degraded under intense anthropogenic load. The use of digital technologies will help to remove environmental tensions, increase the efficiency of agricultural soil fertility, and reduce the cost of crop production. After evaluating the totality of the considered natural conditions of the basic economy, a matrix of natural factors that determine the choice of a particular farming system is developed, on the basis of which a digital model and a database of the geoinformation system are built. The proposed set of attributes is designed for managing agriculture on an agroecological basis, preserving and reproducing the fertility of soil resources.
