SHKLOV DISTRICT, 27 September (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko saw how agricultural drones are used in a cornfield of the ASB-Agro Gorodets agricultural company during his working trip to Shklov District, Mogilev Oblast on 27 September, BelTA has learned.
The head of state was shown the drone-assisted desiccation technology. This pre-harvest plant drying process minimizes losses and optimizes harvesting. Drones enable application of desiccants on wet soil for rapeseed, sunflower, corn, soybeans, grain and leguminous crops.
The desiccation technology has a number of advantages. Modern agricultural drones guarantee precision treatment without damaging crops, which helps reduce the time before harvesting and improve the quality of the yield. Thanks to their maneuverability and compact size, drones can reach places that are inaccessible to traditional machinery.
The head of state asked specialists about the performance characteristics of the drone, including its battery life. He also asked for the opinion of Deputy Head of the Belarus President Property Management Directorate Nikolai Sherstnev.
“A wonderful thing,” Nikolai Sherstnev said.
“You can apply anything, not just desiccants,” the president said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko also commented on the desiccation technology in general. According to him, this area needs to be developed if it is truly promising.
