The Introduction of Agricultural Drones with Plant Protection Products Will Increase Yields After the War

The use of agricultural drones with plant protection products (PPP) is becoming one of the key innovations to enhance the efficiency of agriculture in Ukraine. According to an international assessment for 2025, the use of agricultural drones provides four main advantages for farmers.

Main Effects of Using Agricultural Drones with PPP

1. Agricultural drones allow for the rapid detection of pests and plant diseases, enabling timely responses to threats to crops.
2. The use of drones reduces the time required for pesticide application by almost half, increasing the productivity of fieldwork.
3. This equipment allows for a reduction in herbicide consumption by approximately 30%, lowering costs for farmers and minimizing environmental impact.
4. Drones ensure more precise and safe pesticide spraying, without harming the population and animals.

Prospects for the Use of Agricultural Drones After the War

1. A shift in the production of combat drones to agricultural purposes is expected, which will help reduce their cost for agricultural producers.
2. State support as part of the transition of the economy to peaceful means includes the implementation of preferential programs for farmers regarding the purchase of agricultural drones.

“After the war, we should expect: the reformatting of combat drone production for purely agricultural purposes. Their price should decrease; the state must open preferential programs for farmers to purchase such drones as part of transitioning the wartime economy to peaceful tracks.”

Thus, the introduction of agricultural drones with PPP will become a powerful tool for the recovery and increase of agricultural yields in Ukraine during the post-war period.
