Research of agricultural crops in Kamianets Podilsk region

Analyzing the state of agricultural crops and forecasting their harvest is quite important for Ukraine, as these indicators significantly affect its economic situation. Thanks to its fertile soil, Ukraine is called the "breadbasket of Europe", and it has every chance to become the "breadbasket of the world". As an exporter of grain (primarily wheat, corn and barley), the country ranks third in the world with 60 million tons of production per year, behind the United States of America and the European Union. More than half of the harvest is sent abroad. Ukraine is also a leader in the world market of oil crops (sunflower, soybean, rapeseed). The country is one of the leading producers and exporters of many other agricultural products (GO German-Ukrainian Forum, 2020).

Thanks to conducting a survey of the area of arable land and grain crops, monitoring the condition, growth and development of agricultural vegetation, it is possible to predict various factors: the degree of plowing of the territory, the need to apply nutrients to a certain area of planting, etc.

The purpose of this work is to classify grain crops using the methods of remote sensing of the Earth from 2005 to 2022.

Research object: Kamianets-Podilskyi district, Khmelnytskyi region.

The tasks of the research are:

• assess the condition of agricultural crops in the Kamianets-Podilsky district of the Khmelnytskyi region;
• conduct research on the germination of grain plants;
• analyze the leaf cover of the appropriate area;
