Basic directions of research activities

Remote monitoring of crops’ status allows to get relevant information on the status of crops throughout the growing season
Comprehensive soil survey of the farm using remote sensing and ground methods includes several stages.
Satellite survey – reducing the number of samples – saving time and costs for soil analyses; another benefit is the continuity and relevance of the data.
Implementation of precision farming – saving fertilizers, increasing yields on heterogenic field parcels. Our lab creates digital maps of nutrients for each field based on satellite data and analytical laboratory soil testing data.
Analyses are carried out in the innovative laboratory created in partnership with Soil Cares Research (Netherlands).
Digital thematic mapping of agricultural lands based on satellite data.
Digital maps allow to:
analyze the conditions for growing crops on each field;
optimize production for maximum profit and efficient resource management;
account and analysis of the impact of adverse weather conditions using remote sensing data (areas of laid crops, freezing of parcels, contamination and pollution).
Determining areas of eroded soils
for monetary evaluation of land parcels;
for estimation of yield losses;
to optimize the structure of sown areas

Main scientific results

Methodical recommendations for adjustment of soil cartographic materials using remote sensing data;
Methodical recommendations for mapping of high soil erosion risk using satellite imagery;
Methods of quantitative assessment of high erosion risk of soil conditions using remote sensing methods;
Methods of quantitative assessment of soil cover structure on the bases of satellite imagery.
