Agricultural technology advancements in Brazil

Overview

Agricultural technology in Brazil is advancing through the integration of precision machinery, artificial intelligence, and remote sensing. At the 15th Brazilian Cotton Congress, new hardware and software were introduced, such as John Deere’s 400R series sprayers featuring ‘See & Spray™’ technology and Eirene Industrial’s ‘SaveFarm Cotton’ AI, which uses computer vision to identify weeds and reduce pesticide use.

Developments have expanded to include the use of remote sensing via satellite imagery and vegetation indices like NDVI to monitor crop vigor. While autonomous equipment like spraying drones is increasing operational efficiency, experts note that technological precision must be supported by high-quality spray formulations, focusing on factors such as water pH, droplet size, and the use of adjuvants to ensure effective application.
