2021: Use of laser drones for crop processing in the Russian Federation
At the end of June 2021, it became known about the creation in Rossibespilot aircraft equipped with a laser plant for processing crops. This product was developed by Novbiotech from Veliky Novgorod.
According to Vedomosti, citing the Platform of the National Technological Initiative (NTI) ANO, with the support of which the project is being implemented, and the representative of Novbiotech, in the dark, the laser processes (illuminates) crops from a height of 10-20 m. At different stages of ripening, laser irradiation allows you to increase crop yields by an average of 10-35% depending on the quality of crops.
Natalya Sevostyanova, Director General of Novbiotech, explained in a conversation with the publication that plants live in photosynthesis, so light of different wavelength, different spectrum has an exciting effect on them. According to her, many years of research have shown the effectiveness of exposure to light of the blue and red spectra. Light is transformed into the energy of chemical bonds, plant growth is activated, the transition to the formation of generative organs, she added.[1]
