GYUMRI, NOVEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS: Armenian agricultural ministry said
it will test next year a new antihail system, developed by Armenian
engineers, in Armenia's northwestern province of Shirak. The new
system, operating on solar energy, was already tested 20 years ago in
the region of Talin. The ministry promised also to release finances
for installment of new system.
Four or five antihail stations are to be installed in the province,
each of which costs $22,000.
Scientists say one antihail system is able to protect about 80 hectares
of land under crop from hails. The system transforms hail into rain
saving crops from being damaged.
Rural communities in Shirak chosen to have stations in their territory
will have to make their input into its assembly and installation. Some
30 rural communities are located in areas targeted usually by
hails. Agricultural experts estimate that this year the province has
sustained 1.2 billion drams damages from hails.
