Use of Digital Technologies to Improve Efficiency of Potato Production on Private Plots

Abstract In Russia, potato is the second economically important crop, which is widely cultivated not only on commercial fields, but also on numerous private plots, which produce a doubled potato yield comparing to agricultural companies. Nevertheless, during the last 30 years, the total potato produ...

Summary:Abstract In Russia, potato is the second economically important crop, which is widely cultivated not only on commercial fields, but also on numerous private plots, which produce a doubled potato yield comparing to agricultural companies. Nevertheless, during the last 30 years, the total potato production in Russia reduced by 40%. In the case of private plots, potato production reduced by even more then 50%. One of the possible reasons is that potato is difficult in cultivation and is susceptible for a number of diseases able to significantly reduce the yield quantity and quality. This paper describes a new approach to the crop protection based on the use of digital technologies to control the early and late blight of potato and to reduce the negative influence of excess fungicides on the human health and environment.
