Acompanhamento das atividades de agricultura de precisão em áreas de pivô no município de Sandolândia - TO.

Abstract

The modernization of agriculture seeks to increase production through modern techniques, increasing productivity and sustainability. Precision Agriculture (PA) uses information technologies to deal with spatial variability. Originated in Germany in 1990, it became accessible to growers with equipment such as yield monitors. In the US, grains and cotton dominated the AP, optimizing costs and yields. Geotechnologies, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), assist in agricultural management. Initially restricted to large farmers, AP has become accessible to small farmers due to advances such as GPS and GIS. Soil chemical analyzes are common in Brazil. The variable rate allows you to apply fertilizers accurately and economically, optimizing the soil. The internship was of great satisfaction as it provided me with a broad knowledge in the area. Key-words: Modernization of agriculture. Productivity. Technology. variable rate
