He reported that an aviation and space monitoring laboratory of agricultural lands will be established at Stavropol State Agricultural University (STAU). TASSsaid the university’s press service.
“With the help of remote sensing, scientists will be able to develop a road map to increase the productivity of pasture lands, restore eroded areas and increase the humus layer. According to preliminary calculations, the use of aviation monitoring technologies will increase pasture productivity from 25 percent to 35 percent, with a nationwide economic impact of 10 billion “It may exceed the ruble.”
SSAU scientists have developed a technique for monitoring pastures from space, which has already been tested and applied on several farms in the Stavropol region and Alma-Ata region of Kazakhstan.
