BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 29. To improve grain
production efficiency, digital solutions are implemented annually
on up to 15,000 hectares in various Azerbaijani grain districts, a
source in the Center for Agricultural Innovation of the Ministry of
Agriculture told Trend.
According to the source, the solutions pave the way for nailing
down the perfect sowing times, using the right fertilizers, keeping
a finger on the pulse of soil moisture, and hitting the sweet spot
for harvest timing.
“This boosts efficiency and lowers labor, water, fertilizer, and
production expenses. There are farms around the country doing this.
Many grain farms use novel soil conservation technology to conserve
moisture and protect the lower barren soil layers, resulting in
excellent yields.
Smart agricultural methods are employed for this purpose.
Specifically, the equipment used for soil treatment, seedbed
preparation, sowing, fertilization, and spraying is equipped with
GPS navigation systems.
“Technological and other procedures employing these strategies
reduce errors. Some grain farms with such technology have yielded
55 to 60 quintals per hectare of food wheat. Wheat quality also met
state norms. Up to 15,000 hectares of grain regions in the country
are treated with these revolutionary methods annually,” the source
added.
