On September 23, the XXII International Scientific Conference “Scientific and technical principles of development, testing and forecasting of agricultural machinery and technologies” was held.
Organizer: URIFTETAP named after L. Pogorily.
Among the conference participants were representatives of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, as well as scientists from Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary and France.
The general director of the state institution “Institute of Soil Protection of Ukraine” Yuriy Zaytsev took part in the event. He delivered a welcome speech during which he expressed his gratitude to the team of the Ukrainian Research Institute of Forecasting and Testing of Agricultural Production Techniques and Technologies named after Leonid Pogorily and personally to the Director Stanislav Vasyliovych Khalin for the opportunity to participate in the event, as well as for awarding him with an honorary medal.
As Yuriy Zaytsev noted, thanks to the fruitful cooperation of our institutes, a Memorandum of Cooperation was signed in August 2022, which provides for mutual cooperation in the field of soil science, agrochemistry and the study of the impact of technological processes on the state of the soil cover and soil fertility.
Modern agricultural production requires new inventions, namely the development, testing and forecasting of agricultural machinery and the latest technologies. Therefore, as Yuriy Zaytsev noted, the moment has come when it is necessary to change the principles of management. It is the introduction of the latest technologies, with the support and cooperation of respected international partners, that will help solve problematic issues.
This conference was a great opportunity for specialists and scientists from different countries to exchange experience, new developments, achievements and discoveries.
