AVALIAÇÃO DA FERTILIDADE DO SOLO E INCREMENTO DA PRODUTIVIDADE COM O USO DA AGRICULTURA DE PRECISÃO

Abstract

Precision Agriculture has contributed to face the challenge of producing food in a sustainable way and meeting world demands, being able to extract greater productivity in smaller areas. In this study, the influence of the adoption of Precision Agriculture under the homogenization of soil chemical parameters that indicate fertility was evaluated. The area was monitored for four years after the implementation of this technology, observing the soil analysis and carrying out the appropriate fertilization according to the recommendation. The data collected during the four years of studies were analyzed using software R, under the LSD mean test at 5% significance level. The results showed that the adoption of this technology is responsible for increasing the chemical parameters of the soil and productivity.
