Abstract. GIS - geographic information systems is a product of modern technology, designed

for visualization and analysis of everything around us, also for the storage and analysis of data.
The agricultural sector, where the key link is land, has a connection with geographic
visualization, namely, there is a need to compile maps to promote transport and analyze them.
Before the introduction of GIS, tables, plans and schemes provided on paper were used. In this
case, it was hard to reconcile all the data with each other, and in case of a change in an
indicator, it was necessary to redo everything all over again. In maps created with the help of
GIS along the land itself, there are such layers as rivers, roads, settlements and much more. It
all depends on the quantity and characteristics of the data provided. Using just an ordinary
electronic map of the area, with the help of data, you can create a blank map, topographic or
thematic map. GIS is becoming an increasingly integral part of our lives and agriculture. For an
ordinary farmer, for example, there are many advantages of GIS. One of these advantages is
that, when buying or renting a land plot, he can look at the electronic map in the cadastral
offices, which will take into account the location of the plot, the location of passing channels,
soil structure and so on. The second advantage is that the map will show all the advantages and
disadvantages of the site, such as soil quality, climatic conditions, this will lead to the correct
selection and distribution of crop rotation, which will help reduce the cost of fertilizers,
machinery and labor. All these aspects are described in more detail in the article.

1. Introduction
Advanced technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. Scientific and technological
progress is observed in all areas, whether it is engineering, or the field of education. This all positively
affects the economy of the country as a whole.
One of the fruits of scientific and technical progress was GIS (geographical information system),
which is a graphical representation of the area and its characteristic information. GIS has gained great
popularity in Uzbekistan, and is used in many fields. The starting point was the signed resolution by
the former President Islam Karimov on measures to implement the investment project “Creation of the
National Geographic Information System” in September 25, 2013 “PP-2045. After that, GIS systems
began to be introduced more and more actively in all areas.
So agriculture was not left aside. The vast territory of agricultural land, a large number of people
living and employed in the agricultural sector, a large number of vehicles, all this served as an impetus
for the approach to land management and agricultural production.
One of the components of the rural industry is logistics. And here GIS helps out when solving the
problems of managing transport infrastructure, taking as a basis the parameter of the spatial

component. Here issues such as management, design, construction, traffic safety and vehicle
operation, monitoring and construction of convenient routes and much more are solved.
Not only in agriculture, but also in other areas, there are consumers interested in transport
information. The range of consumers has been expanded from people working in road services, to
government agencies and ordinary people.

Integration of logistics in the agricultural sector highlights

the following components:

1) producers of crop and livestock products (large, medium-

sized enterprises, farms and so on)

2) manufacturers of animal feed (individual enterprises or

their own production workshops)

3) processing enterprises

4) means of production and transport for agriculture

Figure 1. Integration of logistics in the agricultural sector.

In the past, ownership of operational information was limited. With the advent of GIS, it became
possible to identify complex patterns, to get an unconventional forecast.
GIS has a different classification. The most popular is the territorial size. GISs are divided into
global, regional and local, and so on.

2. Materials and research methods

GIS in the agricultural sector is based on Remote Sensing of the Earth, and not only people involved
in agricultural activities are interested in it, but also the state itself. Farmers will be able to correctly
and efficiently plan the activities carried out on the agricultural plot, thereby reducing costs and
increasing the quantity and quality of the crop.
And the state uses the data obtained with the help of GIS systems for the purpose of compiling
inventories, assessing and monitoring the targeted use of land. There is also a third group of interested
people, these are investors. Created maps in the GIS system using Earth sensing will be able to convey
to investors the attractiveness of the selected area, and will allow for the correct calculation of
payback, risk, profit, taking into account all the features of the land.
Modern GIS allows you to create digital models in 3D format, to reveal an unknown relationship
between objects and data. With the help of geographic information systems, it is possible to draw up a
map of the route of product delivery to the consumer, especially this issue is relevant with dairy
products, since it is perishable.
The agricultural sector of Uzbekistan since ancient times has been important in the country's
economy. As in any other field, the goal of the state is to achieve high profitability of production, but
at the same time not to harm the environment. You can achieve your goals by making the right
managerial decisions, the basis of which should be reliable information.

In almost all enterprises, production information is stored in programs such as Excel, 1C, etc.
However, this information and indicators is difficult to associate with important parameters, such as
weather, for example. Modern geographic information systems allow not only to relate this data to
each other, but also to try it on the field and make it possible to view changes in the field by day,
week, month.
Information on agriculture is more of a geographical nature, so it is advisable to use geographical
information systems (GIS). The GIS program allows you to reproduce the real form of agricultural
land, only on a certain scale. The reconstruction of such a graphic picture is based on information from
external databases. GIS allows you to make an informed decision. Say we have a certain land acquired
for the purpose of growing crops, the question arises of the distribution of crops in the agricultural
land. In this case, GIS can play an important role, theoretical knowledge must first be implemented on
a reduced scale. Creating such plans in a GIS will save time and reduce losses.
There are many problems in agriculture, one of which is land degradation. Land degradation is the
quantitative and qualitative deterioration of soils, which lead to a decrease in land fertility. Thanks to
satellite data, it is possible to analyze the composition of the earth at the global level, which will allow
using the comparison method. To measure soil degradation, the NDVI indicator (vegetation activity
index) is used. Using NDVI and satellite data, it is estimated that for the period 1981-2006, the world
economy received less than $ 300 billion of agricultural products. Satellite data, as a rule, are
informative in nature, and are most reliable, since a routine soil survey is carried out once every 3 or 5
years.
The location of rivers and canals plays a special role in the development of agriculture. Sources of
water resources, the amount of water in river beds, the direction of the channels, all this information
can be found thanks to satellites. Information obtained from remote sensing of the earth is analyzed
using GIS technology. This can be most clearly expressed in ArcGIS.
Images of the earth’s surface taken from space are taken as a raster basis, and information on
hydrological networks from a database, for example, the Ministry of Water Resources of Uzbekistan,
is taken as a vector basis. In constructing this type of map, it is advisable to use the Hydrology tool.
Using such a compiled map, you can correctly place a new farm or think about supplying water to
existing ones.

3. Research results and discussion

Agriculture is associated with logistics, like any other area. GIS in agriculture takes into account the
location of crops, land quality and more, and logistics in agriculture is engaged in transportation,
transportation, loading of agricultural products, fertilizers and so on.
After analyzing the entire scope of logistics, we can identify the main areas of GIS. Each separate
direction can be separated, but integrated systems are more efficient.
The first direction means the management of the objects of agricultural transport systems and the
availability of terminal complexes, among large producers of agricultural products, especially airports,
and the prospect of developing a road network and choosing convenient routes for laying new routes.
This area of GIS use in agriculture is similar to property management of enterprises with developed
territorial infrastructure, and can be an integral part of their activities. It also addresses issues related to
land management.
The second direction means the management of a fleet of vehicles. The goal is to minimize the
overall cost of transporting products, and accelerate the fulfillment of contractual obligations to
customers, as well as improving the quality of customer service. Here, schedules of movement and
control of means and forces are compiled and adjusted, problems of dispatching, quick analysis and
intervention, navigation of vehicles and cargo are very much in demand.
The third area is the construction and optimization of roads on the existing road network with
analysis, taking into account the efficiency, availability of the network, and planning for its
modernization on this basis. This involves the preparation of standard transport maps, and the creation
of interactive information systems.
The next direction is monitoring the state of the roadmap and the prospect of planning repairs and
construction. This direction is considered the most popular. The ArcGis database stores information
about layouts, communications, and other information.
Another direction is traffic management, traffic analysis, accident analysis. These calculations
allow you to calculate how long it is possible to deliver agricultural products to the consumer or to the
next integral production infrastructure.
Do not forget about the direction - the study of the impact of vehicles on the environment and
society.
The last direction is the provision of information to the population about roads, routes, schedules
with the means of their cartographic presentation. Such information will be useful to small-scale
agricultural producers.
These GIS directions form and implement ready-made solutions to support the work of all
employees of state bodies, large agricultural producers, processing enterprises, provide convenient
access to information repositories and information resources in the transport industry and their visual,
easy perception of display.
Important components in the GIS system for agriculture is the database management system and
spatial analysis tools. They allow you to identify the terrain, soil type, hydrological regime, in the area
where it is planned or where there is an agricultural organization.
For the further development of the agricultural sector, it is necessary to replenish the database with
computer interactive maps and fresh statistics, create a cell to collect geodata information. All this will
allow to regulate legal relations on land plots, to take into account and control the targeted direction of
land for agricultural needs, to analyze the current state of land resources, to rationally use land
resources.
For agricultural enterprises, relevant programs are ALGIS, Arc / Info, ArcCAD, ArcView,
AtlasGIS, AutoCADMap and others. The most convenient program for visualizing agriculture is
ArcView GIS. In this program, based on images from space, additional cartographic layers are created,
such as vector soil layers, crop distribution, cartographic statistical information regarding harvesting
data, livestock, birds and so on.
ArcGis can take, as the basis of the Database program 1 C, SAP, Excel. From these programs,
digital data is taken, which translate into visual boundaries on a digital map. After you can include

temperature and humidity data, in ArcGis these weather data are stored in a geodatabase for future
analysis. To represent the vegetation cover on a digital map, one can apply satellite images of the
Landsat, Sentiel programs. ArcGis processes these images automatically. ArcGis also exists in the
mobile version, it creates convenience for field trips and comparisons with real problematic areas,
their pictures are created and uploaded to the program, this allows you to create reports, and visualize
and associate them with the applied solutions.
The Landsat, Sentiel programs contain an archive of images from space, but you can analyze them
only in the ArcGis program, there is such a function as viewing old and new images at the same time
and comparing them.

4. Conclusions
Prediction using GIS systems will increase the efficiency of agricultural production, almost twice, due
to the timely implementation of agricultural work, such as:
-measurement of the agricultural plot using GPS equipment, which will give maximum accuracy,
and will reduce unnecessary costs (for example, the calculation of fertilizers for every centimeter of
sown area)
-use of an electronic map in vector format for structuring the sown area and crop rotation
- calculation of the necessary, machinery and the amount of fertilizer required
- the creation of a regime, a schedule of tillage, fertilizing and other various crop protection
products.
Monitoring of geographic information support systems involves solving the following problems: -
Observing the long-term trend of land property change; Timely detection of problems will enable
targeted prevention work;
-analysis of the relationship between environmental and economic factors and agricultural
problems;
-remote control;
-comparative analysis of regions, districts and their grouping by soil type, as salinity, degradation,
etc.
Planning agricultural work will not only reduce costs, but also save time. Every day, on the basis of
these agrotechnical works, you can draw up a schedule of ongoing work for each day.
The introduction of a full-fledged system, integration, will give a complete picture of everything
that is happening, and will achieve great results.
All government agencies should combine the cards into a single whole to get the whole picture. So,
government bodies and entrepreneurs engaged in agriculture make maps in GIS applications, often
only taking into account land plots and water resources located nearby. And the infrastructure taking
into account logistics in the field of agriculture creates its own separate cards that do not intersect with
the cards of agricultural workers.
Given all the specifics of agriculture, you can use GIS applications more efficiently. You can make
a map of the field, water resources, the scheme of movement of tractors, loading machines, calculate
how much time it takes for all this, and make a decision that brings great profit.
