Technological advancement transforms agricultural production

In planting, automatic variable-rate equipment and guidance systems ensure uniformity in furrowing, depth, and seedling distribution. This level of control improves plant establishment and strengthens crop development. During management, sensors, monitoring software, and satellite images assist in the detection of pests, diseases, and water stress, as well as allowing for detailed monitoring of sprouting and growth. The localized application, carried out by drones and smart sprayers, reduces waste and minimizes environmental impacts by directing pesticides, ripeners, and fertilizers only where they are needed. In harvesting, automated machines and telemetry systems increase operational yield and help reduce impurities, ensuring better quality of the raw material delivered to the industry. Logistics is also improved by platforms that organize cutters, transfers, and transportation, favoring the continuous flow of the operation. According to Ryquesio Melo, agricultural quality ...
