Discovering wheat planting and care with lasers
Russian agricultural researchers have just discovered a method of growing and caring for wheat using lasers, replacing the use of toxic and expensive chemical fertilizers that have been used in agriculture up to now.
Initial tests by agricultural researchers in Krasnodar, southern Russia, show that applying lasers in the rice growing process helps increase productivity many times over.

Researcher Anton Didenko, of the Russian Institute of Plant Protection, said the land in Krasnodar is barren, a result of intensive wheat cultivation using large quantities of toxic chemicals.
He believes that applying laser technology will help completely replace chemicals. For a long time, after spraying toxic chemicals, farmers have noticed that many birds died in the area. Meanwhile, the use of lasers in agricultural production is completely harmless to both birds and humans. In addition, lasers can be used not only with food crops, but also with vegetables. Moreover, the efficiency will be higher when processing seeds and sprouts.
Thanks to the use of lasers, the first barley ears appeared 10 days earlier than with traditional methods, and the plants' roots grew stronger and matured faster, he added.
The laser method is applied by attaching a device to the tractor, the laser will affect the plants as the tractor runs around the field. The laser will stimulate the plant's immune system, strengthen the root system and increase the plant's resistance to disease. The laser method also helps farmers save a lot of labor and costs.
Currently, this scientific method has been of interest to many agricultural regions of Russia and will be used in the near future./.
