Just as the industrial sector is undergoing a major transformation, the technology and machinery used in agriculture must adapt to market changes that demand high efficiency and productivity with the least possible impact on the environment.

Just as the industrial sector is undergoing a major transformation, the technology and machinery used in agriculture must adapt to market changes that demand high efficiency and productivity with the least possible impact on the environment. The agricultural practices of the coming years will be characterised by the adoption of technology at many levels. What form will agricultural innovation take?

Agriculture is affected by the changing climate, which is closely linked to the results achieved and the delivery of plans. Competitive pressures are increasing, commodity prices are rising and long-used legacy technologies no longer show sufficient efficiency and accuracy. The shortage of labour and skilled professionals is also a major problem. Because of this, the following are coming to the fore advanced technology.

If you want to stay ahead as an agribusiness, to follow trends and incorporate technological innovations in a purposeful way will allow you to react faster to the changing agricultural environment and gain a competitive edge.

Precision agriculture

The term 'precision farming' (or, alternatively, 'precision agriculture') is a simplistic way of thinking about an approach that aims to optimise agricultural processes to achieve the highest yields at reduced costs, while minimising the burden on the environment.

Precision agriculture is based on knowledge of soil qualities, weather patterns, advanced environmental analysis and other key factorsthat have an impact on cultivation results. This means using technologies such as sensors, intelligent crop sensors a software systemsthat translate huge volumes of data into concrete outputs. The farmer will be able to dose fertilisers, pesticides and water more accurately based on the outputs. With the help of sensors that sense humidity, temperature and take into account weather trends, he will also get a head start in the event of unexpected frosts.

In recent years, a wide range of options has been added to optimise all processes and achieve higher yields at lower costs. However, the truth is that successful implementation requires careful planning, expertise and significant investment.

The use of drones in agriculture

The main role of drones in agriculture is imaging and mapping a specific field or plot of land. With their help, the farmer gets a multispectral analysis of the health of the crops grown and can take targeted and very rapid action against pests as needed. The advanced drones also detect locations suffering from drought, poor growth or crop maturation.

Automated systems and robotic machines

Addressing the global agricultural labour shortage abroad developments towards automated and robotic systems. On the one hand, there are vast possibilities for data collection, but on the other hand, there must be machines and technologies to evaluate and put this data into practice.

Among the growing trends in agriculture are autonomous agricultural machines and robots, which are crop production are used for demanding and repetitive tasks such as sowing, harvesting or mechanical weed control. Innovative robots that work autonomously and use advanced sensors and intelligent technologies are already appearing in the portfolio of major foreign agribusinesses.

Robotization is not bypassing livestock productionwhich requires daily care of live animals. Modern farms use feeding robots, milking robots and also robots for automatic feeding. Automated systems also take care of temperature control, ventilation and lighting in stables.

Mechanisation and automation in agri-commodity processing

The harvesting of agricultural crops and their movement from the fields to the warehouses begins the next phasewhich requires efficient solutions tailored to the specific agribusiness. Agri-commodities come from the fields contaminated and will require further processing or storage before qualitative adjustment. Here they claim the floor Modern technological linesthat can continuously process high capacities and continuously control the entire regime - from processing, storage to dispatch. In addition to the cleaning, transport and storage components, control and management systems are an essential part of the system, which carry out precise monitoring and ensure smooth, efficient and safe operation.

Mechanisation and automation management can thus be understood as a shift from manual labour-intensive work and direct human decision-making to the use of machines and computers to monitor various processes - all with the aim of achieving higher productivity and lower error rates.

Why be interested in agricultural news?

You don't have to go far for the answer. Modern agricultural machinery and robots are able to work faster and more accurately, which means increased efficiency and reduced emissions. Accurate monitoring will allow a quicker response to potential deficiencies and the dosing of fertilisers and pesticides to specific areas, which contributes to a reduction in overall costs. Automated management at the post-harvest, processing and storage stages can lead to higher quality end products.
