Dear visitor!
We are glad to greet you on our renewed server of Poltava State
Agrarian Academy! The period of completing is going on, that is
why, perhaps, some sections will not be accessible, there may be
found some mistakes, therefore we ask you to excuse us in advance.
And now what the site is devoted to. First, certainly, we want
to inform wide audience of users about our existence, and in this
way to contribute to development of the Ukrainian Internet, and
we are not those, who determine the value of the contribution. Secondly,
to provide some ideas and some resources, which may be useful. Third,
there is a wish to arrange the site in a form of sluice and fulcrum
for academy’s users, it means some sections will bear information
designed for local users. Fourth, it is time to take out agriculture
to the Internet, to till virgin lands of nets with our ploughs.
So step-by-step we shall put our plans concerning organization of
consulting centre on problems of agriculture, guide on pesticides
and so on… into life, everything will depend on health of organizers
of the project and financing activity.
We shall be grateful to learn your remarks and wishes, which you
can express by sending e-mail to our address - info (ïîøòà) pdaa.com.ua
