DEVELOPMENT OF ELEMENTS OF WINTER RAPESEED SOWING TECHNOLOGY AS A GREEN MANURE CROP USING AN AGRO-DRONE

In the 21st century, digitalization and automation have become key drivers of agricultural sector development, creating the foundation for the transition to innovative, resource-efficient, and high-technology farming systems. Precision agriculture technologies, particularly the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, have significantly influenced crop monitoring processes, variable-rate application of micronutrients, and plant protection products. However, the use of agro-drones for sowing remains an insufficiently explored direction that requires scientific justification, technical refinement, and adaptation to different soil types, crops, and production conditions. Under wartime circumstances, Ukraine has become one of the global centers for the advancement of unmanned technologies, creating a unique opportunity to integrate innovations from the defense sector into civilian agricultural production.
