New technologies in Agriculture

Today the Agriculture is highly technological. The advancement made alternatives arise to improve the food production. One of this alternatives is called “Precision Agriculture”, and was possible thanks the advance in the electronic devices, like the GPSs. This technology is based in the principle of the soil and climate variations. Through the GPS is possible to control the machines according to the soil fertility, dividing the farm in many squares by satellite imageries collected by satellites. Each square have a different level of fertility. The tractors can be control by Smartphones without driver. The person uses a software that activate a GPS in the tractor that allows the tractor’s control. The commands are sent through satellites to the tractor’s command. The precision agriculture, therefore, is a very expensive technique because needs high-technology, but is very useful.  

Actually not only tractors can be command by Smartphones. The irrigation system of an entire farm can be control with just a few types in the cellphone. We are in a new era of food production. Many people still look to the agriculture and livestock as this practices were the same like fifty years ago, but just the people that work in this field know how technological is this the field.

Today, the seed production uses cutting-edge technology. A seed today have a pellicle lining its surface that contain all the agrochemicals necessary against soil pests, decreasing losses.

The fertilizers, like the seeds, have special pellicles that allows the fertilizer dissolving gradually, become it more effective.

Despite all, what the people have to know is that the agriculture field uses cutting-edge technology and this will be world salvation.
