Vasyl Cherlinka has over 30 years of experience in agronomy and pedology (soil science). He is a Doctor of Biosciences with a specialization in soil science.
Dr. Cherlinka attended the engineering college in Ukraine (1989-1993), went on to deepen his expertise in agrochemistry and agronomy in the Chernivtsi National University in the specialty, “Agrochemistry and soil science”.
In 2001, he successfully defended a thesis, “Substantiation of Agroecological Conformity of Models of Soil Fertility and its Factors to the Requirements of Field Cultures” and obtained the degree of Biosciences Candidate with a special emphasis on soil science from the NSC “Institute for Soil Science and Agrochemistry Research named after O.N. Sokolovsky”.
In 2019, Dr. Cherlinka successfully defended a thesis, “Digital Elevation Models in Soil Science: Theoretical and Methodological Foundations and Practical Use” and obtained the PhD in Biosciences with a specialization in soil science.
Vasyl is married, has two children (son and daughter). He has a lifelong passion for sports (he’s a candidate for Master of Sports of Ukraine in powerlifting and has even taken part in Strongman competitions).
Since 2018, Dr. Cherlinka has been advising EOSDA on problems in soil science, agronomy, and agrochemistry.
Soil erosion leads to land degradation across the world but can be stopped or mitigated with timely detection and control measures. Remote sensing assists in remote crop monitoring and can help notice the problem through changes in vegetation state.
Soil moisture content has a profound effect on the development of crops. Different soil moisture measuring instruments help farmers to maintain its optimal balance. One of the most effective is satellite monitoring.
Biological, physical, cultural, and chemical controls in integrated management allow for safer and more efficient crop protection from pests. Satellite technologies help plan and control IMP strategies remotely.
Crop protection is the key to consistent and high yields. Strategies and methods depend on the type of crops and the threats. Farmers can effectively protect their crops with modern technologies, saving resources and maximizing income.
Prescribed burning reduces the risks of forest wildfires, among other benefits. For successful results, it is important to understand suitable prescribed fire weather conditions. Satellite monitoring facilitates proper fire control.
We met with Vasyl Cherlinka, Scientist at EOS Data Analytics, for an interview on soil degradation, its reasons, and consequences for crop production. The researcher also discussed methods of soil research like digital mapping and morphometry.
Effective pasture managing increases forage grass productivity, improves livestock and ecosystem health, and increases the farm's profitability. Satellite technology makes it possible to achieve even better results.
Today’s agriculture can choose innovative practices to achieve higher yields with fewer chemicals. EOSDA Crop Monitoring, a satellite-based precision farming tool, helped Agrinova Group control fertilization and improved consulting services.
Plants require macro and micronutrients for healthy development, so it is important to identify nutrient deficiency on time and treat it accordingly. Satellite monitoring helps in remote yet accurate diagnostics.
