With an increase in the global demand for food and the pressures for environmental preservation, the biggest challenge for agriculture is its verticalization, in other words, to increase production even more with the same business units, same resources and competitive prices.

Precision agriculture aims at reducing the degree of variability within an agricultural production process by applying a set of techniques, in other words, it seeks to rationalize and equalize the inputs used in a property through technical gain, economic and environmental balance, and greater profits for growers.

Many management tools are used in this process, such as remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS) and satellite positioning system (GPS) that enable precise control and monitoring of productive behavior.

The results come from the correction and application of agricultural lime and fertilizer with accuracy and economy of inputs, increase of yield and environmental sustainability.

Tests and statistical analysis show increases in yield levels between 20% to 29%, and savings of 13% to 23% of inputs in relation to the average consumption nationwide.

Seara provides its customers with precision agriculture programs; broad projects supported by the combination of various agricultural techniques such as yield diagnosis, analysis of soil and leaves, soil fertility map, recommendations and fertilizer application in a variable rate.

This program is available to growers and relies on the direct monitoring of Seara's technical team; professionals who work exclusively on this project to meet the needs of the greatest possible number of properties.
