Technical support by automated control system for ecological-technological processes of crop growing in conditions of protected ground

Abstract

Abstract The article is dedicated to the study of methods and means of automated system control of ecological and technological processes of plants in protected ground conditions. The key concepts and main directions of the study include: development and substantiation of a conceptual scheme for managing crop cultivation technologies and application of information technologies that take into account the ecological and technological state of the crop production facility. Automated control systems were compared in terms of deterministic and stochastic modes with respect to quality indicators of greenhouse microclimate parameters. The main factors have been characterized for the growth and development of plants in protected ground conditions. A comparative analysis of fully and partially automated systems that control the microclimate in greenhouses has been made. A block scheme was proposed for the control over the technological process, taking into account the automation of plant growing and the results of forecasting the conditions of emergencies. The technical means have been offered for automated control of technological processes of crop production, which allow obtaining the added effect. The ways of improving the automated control system with the help of technical means were outlined for increasing the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the crop in the greenhouse, taking into account the economic efficiency of the planned activities.
