2.5 Electronic intellect-maps for the maintenance of the human health and biosafety
The top priorities of society in the XXI century are striving for a maximal prolongation of life
and the continuous maintenance of the human activity. An object of research of intelligent
systems in precision agriculture for a personal and social biosafety is information patterns of
farming cultures and foods produced from them. Genetic features, culture conditions, soil
contamination, and a tilling technology generally determine the biochemical composition of
food products during agrotechnical operations but also by the quality of crops for animals,
intensity of the fertilizer application in soil, radiation levels, environmental ecological states,
etc. However, fertilizers introduced in soil for raising the level of the crop yield contain a lot
of chemical toxic substances which can be accumulated with time in plant and animal foods
and cause the development of dangerous diseases and spreading of infectious ones exposing
to danger the human health. Organic microelements in soil are distributed nonuniformly
and accumulated in separate spots forming regions with active microbial communities. A
number of microbes in soil determine the synthesis of high-molecular compounds and the
storage of nutrients in soil but also the productive capacity of soil, an increase in
productivity, information-microbial maps, etc. An intelligent system “ISMP” developed by
us enables to generate electronic microbial maps of soil for intelligent precision agriculture
and maintaining the personal and social biosafety (Fig. 11).
