Off-line differential fertilization is one of the science-intensive technological processes in the precision farming system. The process ensures the change of the norm during the movement of the device in the field in the automatic mode according to the task map compiled on the personal computer for the elementary parts of the field. In the conditions of Western Siberia, studies have been conducted to identify the effectiveness of a differentiated method of applying nitrogen fertilizers for the planned yield of spring wheat of 3.0 t/ha. Off-line implementation of the technological process allows reducing the rate of fertilizers by 7.7-21.1%, production costs by 1.9-3.4% compared to the traditional method. It is shown that the application of top-dressing in off-line mode increases production costs by 10.2%, the rate of ammonium nitrate - 34.4-68.5% relative to the differential application of 4.0 t/ha to the planned yield of spring wheat.

Using an unmanned aerial vehicle Geoscan 201 Agro, 20,286 hectares of agricultural land were surveyed in Tyumen and Sverdlovsk regions, where 206 fields were with an area of 5,552 hectares. Creating electronic maps when piloting an UAV is a more accurate, operational method in comparison with the use of the circular tour method and the use of a space satellite. It allows getting the geographical coordinates of the boundaries of the field, calculating its area, forming orthophotomaps and an electronic image of the fields.

The paper describes the theory and the experimental results for the synthesis of precision waveforms by using the pulse-width modulation of the power of the microwave, which drives the superconductor–insulator–normal metal–insulator–superconductor Josephson array. The synthesized sine waveform has a high precision. Its harmonic content was determined to be less than 0.003%. This degree of harmonic content is in agreement with the theory.
