Improving the process of plant protection mechanisation in grape growing

The study aimed to investigate the impact of modern vineyard cultivation technologies on reducing pesticide consumption and increasing yields. The study evaluated the effectiveness of using AgriSpray 5000 sprayers and DJI Agras T30 drones in agronomy, particularly in viticulture. The research methodology included an analysis of pesticide consumption and grape yields before and after the introduction of these technologies. For this purpose, a comparative analysis was carried out with traditional methods of processing, in particular by hand. The use of AgriSpray 5000 sprayers and DJI Agras T30 drones has reduced pesticide consumption by 30 and 25%, respectively, thanks to the precise distribution of solutions and the automation of field processing. The main results of the study showed that AgriSpray 5000 sprayers reduced the number of diseased grape plants by 40%, which led to a 15% increase in yield. At the same time, DJI Agras T30 drones reduced the number of diseased plants by 35% and increased yields by 12%. The integration of new technologies has reduced the overall cost of vineyard cultivation by 20%, in particular, due to lower pesticide and labour costs. The study findings show that the introduction of modern sprayers and drones significantly optimises vineyard processing, reduces costs and increases yields. The AgriSpray 5000 and DJI Agras T30 technologies provide a high level of precision in the application of agrochemicals, which has a positive impact on the environment and economic results. The results confirm the effectiveness of the latest technologies as an important tool for increasing the competitiveness of Ukrainian vineyards and improving product quality
