The scientists will also improve express testing of plant growth. They are will develop monitoring solutions for the plants in conditions created for growth. The project also includes phytotrons that adjust the optimal spectral composition of light, taking into account biological features of species and cultivated variety of plants.

"The polygon consists of three units. About 50 percent of the area will be occupied with planting. In the beginning, we will cultivate cucumbers. Then there is a research unit where we will study radiation modes for plant growing. Here the fundamental part of the research will be carried out. In addition, a robotic system and radiation modes will be tested there, and drones will pollinate plants. The third unit is assigned to supporting services," said Valiev.
