Tridge summary

In the ISC, based on productivity zones and laboratory analyses, they identified the areas that required amelioration, created a task map, and uploaded it to the equipment. As a result, instead of the average 6–8 t/ha for the entire field, the actual average rate was around 3.5 t/ha, because it was applied only where it was needed. The savings for the ameliorator were twofold, and sometimes even threefold. At the same time, the yield increase could range from 0.5 t to 2 t and more, depending on the year and the specific field.

Currently, almost every Ukrainian agricultural holding has a research department within its structure, which is typically engaged not only in testing technologies but also often in its own developments. This will be discussed on December 5 at the "Agro Innovations 2025" forum organized by BioNorma. The directions of research of individual agricultural companies are discussed in the article "How R&D centers of MHP, IMK, Western Bug, Continental, and AGROTRADE work. The state of agro-education and readiness for joint research" on Latifundist.com. In particular, in IMK, the R&D department operates in each of the five clusters. Soils and weather conditions there are different, so research is conducted in the specific conditions of each region where the company is present. The department consists of a head and leading agronomist-researchers at the enterprises, as well as two line specialists. Each year, demo plots of winter wheat, corn, and sunflower are established, where the best ...
