In the Krasnoyarsk region of Russia, rice has been sown for the first time using a drone. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to cover up to 150 hectares per day.
Farmers can apply this seeding method at any time of the day.
In addition to rice, drones can be used for sowing other types of small-seed crops.
This special drone belongs to the state-owned enterprise Kuban Products.
This is the only agricultural enterprise in Russia using this seeding method.
The controlled drone rice sowing experiment conducted first in the Krasnodar region has yielded very positive results.
Drones help sow seeds covering up to 150 hectares per day.
This will be a significant new step in reviving the former role of domestic agricultural aviation.
At the same time, it will boost agricultural productivity.
Currently, drones can be used to sow rice, alfalfa, and mustard plants.
This is also a remarkable achievement, laying the foundation for the development of seed sowing and reforestation equipment using drones in remote and hard-to-reach areas.
