Advanced Agricultural Drones Showcased at Tyumen Agro 2026
New UAVs and digital farming platforms promise to automate field treatment and reduce manual labor.
Modern approaches to agriculture are on display at the Tyumen Agro 2026 exhibition in the settlement of Vinzili, where visitors are introduced to agricultural drones and software platforms for managing farming operations, Tyumenskaya Liniya reported.
Reaching Where Machinery Cannot
The annual exhibition brings together regional manufacturers as well as participants from across Russia. This year, special attention is focused on drones capable of treating fields in areas inaccessible to conventional agricultural machinery.
Representatives of the Rastipole company from Tatarstan demonstrated agricultural drones in real-world conditions. Under operator supervision, the drone autonomously takes off, reaches its starting point and begins field treatment as spray nozzles activate automatically. Flying at an altitude of four to five meters, the drone covers a spray width of up to 10 meters. After completing the task, it returns to its launch point and lands. A single drone can process around 100 hectares per shift.
No Need to Walk the Fields
Major agricultural enterprises in the Tyumen region have been using software systems from the Geomir group for several years. These solutions collect data from fields and machinery and transmit it to the Ministry of Agriculture.
“At the same time, we work with drones that survey fields. The system identifies weeds and crop growth and provides recommendations on treatment methods and timing. Farmers no longer need to walk the fields and analyze conditions manually,” said Ilya Voronkov, CEO of Geomir.
Geomir also offers tools for automatically generating field treatment routes. Tractor operators can follow precise guidance displayed on in-cabin screens. The company plans to launch its first fully autonomous field treatment project this year, eliminating the need for a human operator.
