Production of Biotechnological Objects using Business Intelligence

Article is devoted to the problems solution of the agricultural crops state analysis during the cultivation process. The use of biosensor devices for measuring plant growth parameters, modern information technologies Data Mining and operational analysis of OLAP data is proposed. Among a wide range of parameters that characterize the plants state, the following are considered: the presence of mycotoxins and the chlorophyll content in the plant against the backdrop of measuring the applied doses of chemical fertilizers and biological additives. The architecture of a system proposed to solve these problems is presented. Its main functions are: control of plant growth parameters measurement with the various biosensors and external sources, transfer of the received data to a mobile device with further accumulation in a central storage, analysis and forecasting of processes related to the crops cultivation. The efficiency of growing crops should be increased

Optical sensor for the detection of mycotoxins

The methods of detection of mycotoxins in agricultural products have been analyzed. The advantages of using the fluorescence methods for the express diagnostics of the presence of mycotoxins in samples have been shown. The development of an optical biosensor, which allows the detection of mycotoxins in the field, has been presented. The principles of operation have been established, and the constructive solution of a sensor has been proposed. An electro-optical scheme for obtaining an information signal has been developed and tested. The particular attention has been paid to the choice of an element base of the proposed microsensor. The principles and procedure for its validation have been shown. The practical results of testing the developed technical solution have been presented. The achieved relative error in the linear approximation of the sensor conversion characteristics in the interval of concentrations 0...100 ppb at a temperature of 15...25 °С does not exceed 2%. The developed sensor can be used in agriculture for the express detection and evaluation of the mycotoxin contamination
