One of the Group’s major tasks is to renew agricultural machinery fleet, in order to perform all field operations with maximum efficiency and, most importantly, on a timely basis.
Precision
farming
It is fair to say that AGRAIN is one of the testers of innovative machinery and equipment in Ukraine. The Company uses various precision farming systems from such famous manufacturers as John Deere, Trimble, Precision Planting and others. All new engineering solutions are at first thoroughly tested in real life, after which a decision is made on their further extensive use.
AGRAIN Agricultural Group practices precision farming by equipping agricultural machinery with systems for development of field movement routes for soil cultivation, seeding and other technological tasks, as well as differentiated seed planting and application of mineral fertilizers.
For the purpose of moisture preservation and accumulation farms of the Agricultural Group discontinue classic technology on some of the areas, and instead of ploughing do deep tilling and strip-till. This improves soil structure, increases its natural fertility and saves on costs of crop protection agents and fuel.
