FEATURES OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE TECHNOLOGY OF GROWING OIL RADISH AS A SIDERAL CROP UNDER THE CONDITION OF MODELING THE TECHNOLOGICAL SCHEME OF SOWING USING AN AGRODRONE

The current pace of agricultural development is increasingly inclined to the use of new technologies that require minimal human intervention. A number of social, economic and environmental problems have become the prerequisite for this. In particular, more and more people are starting to move from rural areas to cities, which creates a shortage of labor, the ability to have qualified workers and to perform all technological processes of growing crops in a timely manner. From an economic point of view, the increase in the price of fuel, lubricants and technical equipment significantly increases the cost of a number of operational technologies, which in general affects the economic efficiency of growing a particular crop. The environmental aspect is an important direction in minimizing the negative impact on the soil and the environment, through the implementation of environmentally friendly technologies that allow, on the one hand, to effectively replace traditional approaches and methods of growing crops, and on the other - to improve the ecological state of the environment, both separately on a specific agricultural plot (crop rotation) and globally in a certain region (community). Recently, both in world agricultural practice and in progressive agricultural enterprises of Ukraine, the cultivation of various agricultural crops using agrodrones has begun to be actively introduced into the technological process. Therefore, we conducted a model experiment on the possibility of expanding the potential of agrodrones, not only as a research and monitoring of fields, the application of chemical protection agents, micro and macro fertilizers, top dressing, desiccation, but also the possibility of screening small-seeded crops, in particular as a sideral crop. The purpose of the experiment was to work out various norms and methods of sowing sideral crops, in particular oilseed radish.
