DRONES ARE USED IN AGRICULTURE TO FIGHT PESTS

DRONES ARE USED IN AGRICULTURE TO FIGHT PESTS

    Equipment for the distribution of entomophagous plants has been created at the Research Center for Biological Protection of Plants of the Tashkent State Agrarian University. These devices are mounted on tractors and drones and allow the use of Trichogramma eggs against worms on the basis of fast and resource-saving technologies.
    Loss of productivity is observed as a result of the threat of many pests and weeds to agricultural crops. What is being done in the field to combat pests?
    Indeed, today not only in our country, but all over the world, many pests threaten agricultural crops and destroy a large part of the crop. Every year in our country the process of pest control is carried out. Fifty to sixty percent of the crop can be lost even if a single species of insect multiplies.
Pest management is always more complicated by chemical methods. In order to reduce or eliminate the risk of pests in the fields of the country, the idea of ​​protecting plants from pests in a natural way is put forward. At the initiative of the head of our state, the main task was to establish research centers in cotton and textile clusters. Within the framework of this initiative, the first scientific center in the cotton-textile cluster in the form of a limited liability company "POLY TEX SIRDARYO" was established in the Syrdarya region among cotton-textile clusters. Thanks to the support of the regional prosecutor and the efforts of POLY TEX SIRDARYO LLC's agricultural consultant Kholyigit Raimberdiev and the head of the research center Ahadqul Pirimkulov, a new approach to the technology of drone trichogram distribution in cluster fields has been developed. and pest control.

     When this practice is popularly explained, the process of destroying the harmful insects that are formed with beneficial insects, i.e. trichogramma, is the same, isn't it?
     Of course, the device is mounted on drones, filled with trichograms and distributed to cotton fields. A single drone is doing what at least 500-600 people are doing. So far our results are very good. The eggs and larvae of the caterpillar are almost non-existent. Even the field is almost free of plant lice and sap.
