'Precision agriculture', in the hands of Isagri, Fima 2010

It snows, it rains or is made at night. Work in harsh climatic conditions and even at night, can gain in efficiency and accuracy. Testimonials as the of Fernando Allué, farmer at Lierta (Huesca) corroborate the savings in inputs and pesticides that obtained through the installation of the new system guided by GPS Isaguide, of Isagri. Without a doubt, the latest addition to the present also at Fima 2010 company, CITES inescapable sector. "Ahorré 2,500 euros installment on a plot of 40 hectares, over the previous year in which worked without GPS and, sometimes, with fog", says Fernando Allué. "In my case, it has another advantage." As I have plots far from my farm "-continues - when I'm back sulfatando or paying, I can finish the work at night without having to return another day."

With a range of more than 15 programs, Isagri chose Fima contest to present the new version of this program's guidance that the farmer works more comfortably. Isaguide represents the most recent contribution to precision agriculture that facilitates the introduction of new technologies focused on the improvement of production and environmental care. During the last decade, and due to the use of geospatial technologies and the information, many farms are managed 'accurately', which optimizes the use of inputs such as fertilizers, plant protection, seeds, and so on. I.e. machines guided by sátelites that are solved many of the problems of the agricultural sector. One of its first effects is the significant savings of inputs, due to the reduction of the overlap between past. Something that happens with the installation of the system Isaguide, whose acquisition is easy to amortize due, firstly, to use less fertilizers and plant protection and, secondly, to the precision with which works, avoiding the overlap between past products.

The screen is a PDA from high resolution which is placed in front of the steering wheel and whose consultation can be simply by lifting the view. It is a system easy to use for any user, whatever their computer level. In addition to lower expenditure on inputs and plant protection, this system allows the farmer to work in adverse weather conditions, for example with fog or at night. Isagri specialises in the development of technology for the field. Thus, research in the search for tools better adapted to the needs of agricultural or farming companies. Every day, more than 800 people in Europe work under this premise.
