In the farms of the company "August-Agro" in the Republic of Tatarstan, the universal seeding control system (USCS) has been successfully tested and is being implemented. Russian digital development in the field of precision farming allows to track the quality of sowing. For the first time this spring, before the sowing of spring crops, the Bourgault sowing complex at the August-Leninogorsk agricultural firm was equipped with USCV sensors for the first time. Practice has shown: the number of flaws has been minimized. According to the experts of "August-Agro", in this way, even at the stage of the sowing campaign, it is possible to save 2-3% of the future harvest. As a result, sensors are being installed at 15 sowing complexes this fall for winter sowing, and by spring sowing it is planned to equip all 44 Bourgault units at the Avgust-Agro farms.
