Laser leveling in Samarkand region and Karakalpakstan.

In early August, Oybek Egamberdiyev, an employee of the non-governmental organization KRASS, an "irreplaceable and irreplaceable fighter" against uneven field relief, and an expert on the first project to introduce laser planning technology in Khorezm, left for the Amudarya region of Karakalpakstan. There he was to create 4 laser machines and train local farmers in the techniques of using the equipment. He had to show how the equipment would be installed on the equipment and explain how the field leveling would be done.

We have already talked about the laser leveling project in Karakalpakstan. It should be noted that the technology of laser leveling has aroused great interest among local farmers, engineers and AVP staff, and this technology is proving its effectiveness in the arid and low-lying areas of Karakalpakstan.

When he arrived in Mangit, Oybek was met by the head of the technical inspection of the Amudarya region and brought there. On the same day, the necessary spare parts for the installation of 2 sets of equipment were purchased. The next day, the equipment was assembled, assembled, and tested as scheduled. Once the equipment was assembled and calibrated, it was mounted on a long-wheeled glider, first made in the village of Kipchak and then in the village of Kilichboy, and all equipment was successfully tested in the fields.

The next day, after all the preparations were completed and the equipment was successfully tested, two field seminars on the practical application of laser leveling were organized and held. The first field seminar in the Kipchak machine-tractor park was opened by the governor of the Amudarya region, who noted the advantages of laser leveling technology. The seminar was held on the plot in the village of Kilichboy.

The management of the regional machine-tractor park, employees, engineers and farmers took an active part in all the work on assembly, installation and testing of the equipment. During his stay in the Amudarya region, Oybek installed and tested two pieces of equipment. The remaining two sets have been assembled and will be launched on two more farms in the region.

After completing his work in Karakalpakstan, Oybek went to the Payarik district of Samarkand region, where he successfully installed and tested a set of laser equipment. After the equipment was inspected, a field workshop was held at the experimental site of one of the farms in Payariq district.

Oybek has recently taught more than a dozen specialists, engineers, water users and farmers on land use and laser planning.

After the workshops, regional and district mechanization workers began to level the fields with a new technology - laser. More than 16 hectares of farmland in Payarik district have been cultivated using this technology. A little more land was developed in Karakalpakstan. But there is still much to do.

"Laser Master" - According to the results of Oybek's travels and the geography of the spread of technology, it is safe to say that the recently approved laser planning technology in Khorezm is showing high efficiency and profitability. leveling more hectares of land across the country and conserving cubic meters of water.

In this regard, our partner's motto made a great impression on us:

Knowledge is the only raw material that multiplies when used.
