CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING SOIL PARAMETERS

Abstract

The relevance of a cyber-physical system for determining soil parameters in Ukraine is determined by several important factors, including climate change, declining soil fertility, and the need to implement efficient technologies to ensure sustainable agriculture. In Ukraine, where a large part of the economy depends on the agricultural sector, accurate soil monitoring is a key aspect to increase the efficiency of agricultural production, optimize the use of water and land resources, and reduce the cost of fertilizers and pesticides.

Cyber-physical systems can provide timely data collection on soil moisture, temperature, pH, and other critical soil parameters, allowing farmers to respond quickly to changes in environmental conditions. Such systems can reduce the negative impact of excessive irrigation and optimize the use of water resources, which is especially important in the face of drought, which is increasingly common in Ukraine due to climate change.

These systems also allow for accurate forecasts of yields and soil conditions, as well as the development of individualized recommendations for each field or plot. Since Ukraine has a wide variety of climatic conditions and soil types, cyber-physical systems are able to adapt to different agricultural needs, making them extremely useful for the development of precision agriculture.

The introduction of such technologies helps not only to preserve natural resources but also to improve the economic efficiency of agriculture. Therefore, the development and implementation of cyber-physical systems for soil monitoring is an extremely important step for the sustainable development of Ukraine's agricultural sector. Therefore, our research is devoted to the development of a method and a cyber-physical system for determining soil parameters.

The cyber-physical system for determining soil parameters consists of three levels: the level of sensors, the level of the controller to which the sensors are connected, and the system for collecting, monitoring, and managing data in real time. To build a cyber-physical system for determining soil parameters, we selected sensors, selected a controller, selected a data transmission standard, and developed a method for collecting, monitoring, and controlling data. The proposed method of data acquisition, monitoring and control for the upper level of the cyber-physical soil parameterization system allows for efficient data acquisition, monitoring and control in a cyber-physical system with various parameters stored in real time.
