Development of an Information System for Modeling and Visualization of Crops Growth and Development under Climate Change Conditions Using 3D Modeling and VR/AR Technologies

The article discusses the main aspects of simulation and visualization of agricultural crops under conditions of climate change caused by the greenhouse effect using 3D, VR/AR technologies. A bank of 3D models of 37 agricultural crops has been provided that allows to visualize the development of plants at all stages of growth depending on various combinations of external parameters that determine the result of plant development. The use of the introduced information system makes it possible to conduct crop simulation with visualization of the growth and development stages while varying the maximum possible number of parameters. It provides the ability to assess, predict and select the optimal environment for increasing productivity. The purpose of the research is the implementation of the introduced information system in the crop production and in a number of other areas. The digital transformation of crop production is a part of the federal strategy aimed at adapting agricultural areas to climate change and obtaining consistently high yields through the introduction of Industry 4.0 technologies and platform solutions. The article describes a prototype of a toolkit that allows to modernize the decision-making process during sowing by taking into account the influence of the greenhouse gases in the ground layer of the atmosphere on the photosynthetic activity of agricultural plants.
