Iaroslav Boiko
Iaroslav Boiko (7th of June 1981, Lokhvytsya, Poltava Oblast) - PhD in Agriculture, leading specialist of agrarian sector, expert on precision agriculture and official representative of ISPA in Ukraine, co-founder of innovative consulting company AgriLab and study project AgriStart.
Education and scientific activity
Graduated from the National Agricultural University in Kyiv in faculty Agrochemistry and Soil science. 2003-2009 - worked as research fellow of laboratory at Institute of Agriculture NAU and had been improving soil fertility. 2009 – defended thesis on « Structure of absorbing complex of gray forest soil, its agrochemical properties and productivity of crop rotation levels depending on complex chemical melioration» and got a PhD in Agriculture sciences. Carried out a lot of explorations co-working with scientists of University of Nebraska–Lincoln and McGill University (Canada). Author of over 50 scientific works. From 2012 - an official representative of International Society of Precision Agriculture (ISPA) in Ukraine.
Implementation of precision farming in agricultural production
2009-2013 – had been heading the direction of scientific and technological development of the company Druzhba-Nova, which implemented the elements of precision agriculture for the first time in Ukraine.
In association with international scientists, the methods of soil sampling for precision agriculture and interpolation of data to image changes in soil variability were developed.
For the first time in Ukraine, under the guidance of Iaroslav Boiko, there were implemented on the big areas:
- One of the important elements of precision agriculture modern GPS-monitoring technology of soil fertility Archived 2018-01-16 at the Wayback Machine, which is based on using automated soil sampling with GPS, measurement the EC of soil with further mapping (zoning) of soil properties on field. It allows to take into account the fertility level and yield potential of each heterogeneous zone of field, which conduce the effective use of agrochemicals, seeds and other resources.
- The method of a zoning of field by yield-map was developed and technology of differentiated fertilization (VRA) of liquid nitrogen fertilizers on the mineralization of plant residues was implemented.
- The algorithm for calculating the system of crop fertilization and formation of map-tasks have been developed.
- Practically realized technologies of banded and differentiated fertilization, resulting in the effectiveness of use of resources may reach up to 20-50 % depending on the field properties.
- In 2014 became a director and co-owner of consulting company AgriLab, which develops and implements complex solutions for increasing the effectiveness of agribusiness. AgriLab – one in top of the most innovative company in Ukraine according to the rating of Forbes edition.
Conferences
Iaroslav Boiko participated in many conferences, during which he presented perspectives of Ukrainian agrarian sector and practical results of technologies implementations to world community.
- In 2011 was a speaker at 8th European International Conference of Precision Agriculture in Prague (Czech Republic).
- In 2012 was a speaker at 11 th International Conference of Precision Agriculture with topic «System approach in implementation of precision agriculture in Ukraine» (Indianapolis, USA).
- 2017 – a speaker of Precision Agriculture Conference and Ag Tech Showcase (Canada) with topic «The development of precision agriculture in Ukraine».
- 2018 – participated at PREGA Conference in Budapest, Hungary.
Iaroslav Boiko was an expert in Ukraine in such events:
- Agri Invest Forum
- Conference of Precision Agriculture
- Kyiv International Economic Forum
- The 2nd Ukrainian-German Forum "Bioenergy, Energy Efficiency and Agribusiness
- International Ukraine-Israel Forum
- International conference "Agribusiness in Ukraine"
- International conference "World practice of using efficient technologies of growing the soybean and corn "
