“…Moscow, 1967 In the modern scientific literature, interest in the development of civil aviation remains, but the focus of scientists is on such issues as the degree of air contamination and environment with aviation fuel, the development of environmentally friendly fuel, improving the reliability of aircraft, etc. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Thus, the problem of aviation sowing in the Soviet Union in the 1930s is quite relevant not only in the scientific and theoretical, but also in the applied plan. The rich experience gained in the 1930s during experiments on aerial sowing and during its practical implementation on relatively large areas can be useful even today, when aviation technology has advanced far in its development, and its technical capabilities have significantly increased.…”

The article analyzes the experience of agricultural aviation usage for sowing of grain crops in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. A historiographical review of this problem has been carried out, which testifies to its indisputable scientific, theoretical and applied relevance. The motives for aircraft attracting to sowing operations in the first half of the 1930s have been indicated, and the methods and scale of experiments for conducting aerial sowing have been revealed. By analyzing the scientific literature, archival documents and periodicals of the 1930s, the effectiveness of sowing operations using aviation has been established. The reasons have been revealed, according to which the Party-Soviet leadership eventually abandoned the usage of aircraft as an “air seeder”, having focused the air group efforts on the fight against agricultural pests, firefighting, etc.
