НЦЭ планирует использовать дроны при обработке полей и  плодовых деревьев 08.12.2022

The branch of the National Center of Expertise “Disinfection Center” in the West Kazakhstan region will use drones to treat fields and fruit trees from insect pests, as well as carry out disinfestation against midges.

 “The costs of agrodrone processing are much lower, and the efficiency is much better. This is not just watering and spraying, but a structured, optimized and differentiated application of plant protection products,” said Svetlana Ualieva, director of the branch.

She also noted that the use of such drones has such advantages as high speed of processing, wide coverage of the treated surface, accuracy of application of drugs, precise consumption of working solutions of drugs, coverage of hard-to-reach places where heavy equipment cannot pass, prevention of trampling of fields by disinfectants when processing with hand sprayers .

In addition, the drone can be launched just three hours after the rains, while a traditional ground sprayer cannot always enter a wet field.
