Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

The current project considers the possibility of providing a grant under procedure No. BG-RRP-6.004 "Investments in technological and ecological modernization" from the (NARS) of the Republic of Bulgaria, Component: Sustainable Agriculture. The current proposal is to finance an investment in a tractor, tiller, sprayer and navigation system for growing cabbage. With them, activities will be carried out, ensuring the protection of environmental components and mitigating the consequences of climate change, introducing innovative production and digital technologies, technologies for production and organization in agriculture, for automating work processes. The tractor has a new environmentally friendly engine with full electronic control, which allows more power to be delivered with drastically reduced fuel costs. Exhaust emissions meet the EU Stage V standard, and the entire machine meets the stricter environmental requirements. The innovative engine is equipped with CRDi Engine technology with AdBlue - the dangerous nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gases are converted into harmless water and nitrogen. This emissions cleaning system does not return exhaust gases to the engine, meaning it only uses clean, fresh air. The tractor, milling machine and sprayer are equipped with a device equipped with a sensor with a pre-programmed identification code of the aggregated machinery with a provided cable communication link to a navigation system to transmit information for inventory traceability and processing control. With the navigation system, the optimization of the processes of basic tillage of the land, plant protection, fertilizing, harvesting and transportation of the crop will be achieved. Precision agriculture has great potential in developing economic and environmental benefits, which are expressed in reducing the use of resources such as preparations, fertilizers, fuel. And this contributes to environmental protection.
