Neuron is an innovative neural network developed by scientists of the North Caucasus Federal University for early detection of the most common and dangerous diseases affecting sunflower. The system uses artificial intelligence to monitor fields and can accurately identify powdery mildew and gray mold on leaf photos with a high precision of 97.02%. This technology significantly simplifies crop monitoring and enables timely measures to protect plants, thereby increasing yield and product quality.
For successful sunflower cultivation, proper agronomy and plant nutrition are essential. In particular, the complex mineral fertilizer NPK 15:40:10 from Agropolychim provides sunflowers with necessary macronutrients — nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The high phosphorus content makes this fertilizer especially effective for soils with adequate potassium levels, promoting root development and strengthening plants during early growth stages. The granular form ensures even application and rapid nutrient uptake.
In addition, ammonium nitrate Agropolychim with 34.4% nitrogen content is widely used for sunflower feeding, providing plants with readily and long-term available nitrogen. Due to its high solubility and neutral pH, this fertilizer is suitable for various application methods, including fertigation and foliar feeding. Using modern fertilizers in combination with innovative disease monitoring technologies allows optimizing sunflower care and enhancing agricultural productivity.
