Generate QR code

Abstract

The article presents the results of the use of QR codes for the disclosure of data on soil standards, toxation and reclamation characteristics and deciphering signs. The applicability of the QR code as one of the elements of digital technologies in agroforestry is analyzed. The results obtained made it possible to formulate a conclusion about the positive aspect of using QR codes for storing information and presenting its large arrays in a compact form, which makes it possible not to overload the text of scientific articles with a large amount of data.

Introduction. The 21st century is characterized as a time of rapidly developing technologies, which significantly affects not only the use of new information carriers, but also the means of its presentation. Modifications of devices capable of encrypting information and presenting it on demand in the information space are being improved daily with virtually no size limit. One of such rapidly developing technologies, which is in full open access for consumers of various professions and fields of activity, is the technology of QR codes. QR code technology is being actively introduced into everyday life and is used everywhere, simplifying various financial and digital transactions, but this technology has not been fully used in agroforestry before. The relevance of this work lies in the fact that the possibility of using a QR code as an element of digital technologies in agroforestry would make it possible to make a significant transition in the presentation of information from the text of a scientific article with a summary of the results obtained and conclusions to the presentation of all research results, with a detailed description and additional information not reflected in the text of the article itself.

Object. The object of the study is the technology of QR codes, used in agroforestry and representing a twodimensional space barcode with information of a different nature, read by mobile phones or special barcode scanners.

Materials and methods. In the course of the work carried out, field visits to the object of study, geoinformation modeling of field-protective forest plantations in agrolandscapes, and remote assessment of forest cover were carried out. Soil samples were taken for standard agrochemical soil analyzes, including the determination of the mechanical composition of the soil, pH, the degree of saturation with organic matter, basic minerals, etc. To work with QR codes, a free public program was used that works both from a personal computer and from a smartphone running on any operating system.

Results and conclusions. As a result of the process of interpretation and analysis of space images, a database of deciphering signs of forest belts was compiled and their taxation and reclamation characteristics were made, a database of standards was compiled. Subsequently, the entire data array was encrypted into QR codes. The paper lists and analyzes the positive results of working with a QR code as one of the elements of digital technologies in agroforestry, used to simplify work with a large amount of data and present this volume in an orderly and compact form for further work. In addition to the study on the applicability of the QR code in agroforestry studies, a SWOT analysis was carried out, which made it possible to identify strengths and weaknesses and showed the prospects for the development of this technology, taking into account the opportunities and possible threats.
