Uso das técnicas da agricultura de precisão em pequenas propriedades rurais

Abstract

Precision agriculture is based on an agricultural management system, aiming to increase economic performance and sustainability, minimizing the problems caused in the environment. However, small farmers have no incentive or direction to acquire precision technologies adapted to small producers. Thus, the present work aims to demonstrate that precision agriculture technologies promote the rationalization of agricultural costs in small rural properties. In view of this, bibliographical studies were carried out with a main focus on small rural properties with effective, low-cost and accessible technologies for the income of small producers. With the adoption of tools in precision agriculture, it is possible to adjust the production process by surveying the information generated from these technologies, assisting in the decision-making process by producers and rural workers, contributing to better management and efficient, profitable production. and sustainable. Therefore, the importance of using these precision techniques can be observed through the impacts that they can cause inside and outside the rural property, because when adopting simple agricultural techniques, an increase in productivity and profitability is observed, without causing damage to the agroecosystem in which are inserted.
