The importance of soil temperature and its impact on planting history. Soil temperature is one of the main factors for plant germination, root system development and overall productivity. Each plant requires a certain temperature range to germinate. When optimal temperature conditions are created, seeds germinate faster, plants develop vigorously, and yields increase. Correct measurement and analysis of soil temperature plays an important role in planning the planting process. For this purpose, thermometers and special sensors are used. The depth of measurement should correspond to the level at which the seed is planted. For example, for grain crops, temperature indicators at a depth of 5-10 cm should be taken into account. Soil temperature directly affects the planting date. Three main temperature levels are determined for planting: minimal temperature – the lowest threshold required for the plant to begin germination, optimal temperature – ideal conditions for maximum yield and rapid germination, high temperature – can reduce yield and slow down plant development. The planting date also affects the harvesting process. (AZERTAC G. 2023). When sowing at the right time, the harvest has optimal humidity during harvesting, the risks of drying out and decay are reduced, and effective management of the technique becomes possible. Thus, careful monitoring of soil temperature and choosing a suitable planting strategy increases the overall productivity of the farm and prevents crop losses.
