The level of implementation of information and communication technologies in agriculture changes the demand for information support for crop production management. The study showed that the main criteria for selecting mobile crop applications in Russia are recommendations from friends and colleagues, content and timeliness of data updates, cost of use, language, user reviews and ratings. According to the scope of application, the author has identified the following groups of mobile applications: management of technical means; control and measurement of technological parameters; production planning; management decision support, knowledge development, communication and consulting; sales and purchasing organization. The most popular applications for Russian crop production workers are applications for precision farming technologies, navigation, agro calculators, nitrogen management, process maps and reference books. The results obtained differ from the global ones and are explained, in our opinion, by cultural and geographical characteristics, the level of digitalization of the economy, education, and technology.
