Start a multi-field crop rotation - multiply your harvest

Crop rotation in agriculture is very useful because it is possible to use annual alternation of different plants in the same field for a certain period to continuously increase the yield of the main agricultural crops. Typically, such a cycle lasts from 3 to 7 years or more with sowing of different species in turn, including fallow, which is due to the ability of field crops to restore soil fertility. The use of crop rotation reduces dependence on one set of nutrients and reduces the likelihood of developing resistant weeds, pests and diseases.

This method of management is becoming increasingly popular because it can prevent soil depletion, ensuring their optimal composition and consistency, increase crop productivity and the sustainability of the agricultural system as a whole. Irrational land using and continuous sowing without taking into account crop rotations lead to a decrease in soil yields and fertility.

Crop planning often begins with definition the composition and ratio of the agricultural enterprise's land, the optimal distribution of crops across the farm's fields, determining crop rotation restrictions and material and technical resources. It has been proven that scientifically sound crop placement in crop rotation increases the productivity of each hectare of arable land by 25-30%. It is also important to draw up a competent crop plan not only for the next season, but also for several years ahead.

This task will be easier to complete by using modern IT tools. Thanks to the constant improvement of the functionality of the Crop Rotation module from Soft.Farm, you can store and edit all the information about crops in one place. Visualization of crop areas, taking into account all the necessary aspects in combination with an intuitive interface ensures comfortable work with the system. It is possible to view information about the plot, the predecessor of the crop, the variety, work with planned and actual data on the yield and gross harvest in a single table. In addition, you can create crops both by crop and by the crop rotation scheme, according to which the web service automatically offers recommended crop options for sowing, taking into account the predecessors.

In addition to planning crops for spring and winter crops, the functionality of the system provides for the introduction of perennial plantings intended for obtaining fruit and berry, technical and medicinal products. They can also be seen among the land mass during its distribution. The web service allows you to supplement and expand the reference books of crops and their varieties, and for better visualization, change the colors and icons in the general table of crops. After filling in the data, the program itself calculates economic costs using optimization algorithms, so there is no need to waste time calculating profits. By modifying the data in the table, you can see real changes in economic indicators.

The use of the Soft.Farm system in planning the structure of crop areas helps in the work of both large and medium-sized enterprises with a land bank of more than 1000 hectares, as well as small agricultural firms and private farms that want to be at the center of innovation and effectively plan crops on any gadget at any time.
