Scientists in Kazakhstan have created a new drone technology, called BioDrop, to improve crop protection against pests. Developed by researchers at the Zhiembayev Kazakh Research Institute of Plant Protection and Quarantine, the system automatically distributes beneficial insects across agricultural fields. The Ministry of Agriculture reported on Sept. 2 that this innovation aims to make biological pest control quicker and more efficient. BioDrop utilizes biodegradable spheres to carry and release the insects. This approach offers a more targeted and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional pesticide application methods. The development signifies a advancement in Kazakhstan’s agricultural technology sector and a commitment to sustainable farming practices. This technology has the potential to significantly benefit farmers in Kazakhstan and beyond.
