The digital transformation running through the Argentine countryside poses a multitude of challenges and implies a major change in the production paradigm.
Therefore, joint, collaborative, networked work, as well as the exchange of technical experiences, are important sources of knowledge and contagion for producers to tend to this change.
In this way, in 4 thematic blocks and with 18 speakers, the symposium “Sowing knowledge” convened technical consultants specialized in precision agriculture and variable input management to share data and experiences.
LESS PRODUCTION GAPS
For Juan Pablo Monzón, producer, consultant and researcher, we must move towards a model from sustainable intensification and how from achieving it means reducing the gap from yields per hectare from Cut out. If that gap narrows, “Argentina can grow 26% in corn, 26% in wheat and 15% in soy”She said.

To reduce the gaps, Giovanni Ignazio Rattalino, from Syngenta, warned that it is necessary perfect practices from current management.
A first step in making progress in reducing gaps is setting up the lot. This is, according to Agustín Pagani, from Clarione, from identify those areas within from a lot that expresses a homogeneous combination from limiting factors from performance for which a single level from supplies is appropriate.
In this sense, Louis Mayer, from Praisedpresented the models available for taking from decisions from density and fertilization resulting from the Recommendation from Nidera. With this tool you can determine the appropriate density for each from materials for any environment.
PLANT
The digital adoption it also implies adjusting “reducing” aspects of yield, as Nicolás Pizzichini defined them, from “Precision plant”. These are five factors: power, emergency from the seeds, the dosing system from the planter, the distance between the seeds and the population.
In this regard, Agustín Bianchini, from Okandú, indicated that the challenge of systems in sowing direct and rotational is centered on positioning from seeds to optimize their conditions from germination.

“In 3 years from evaluation, the spatial and temporal non-uniformity of maize showed losses from relative returns from between 6% and 22% ”, presented the advisor.
So, according to Ricardo Ollúa, from Nidera, who also assessed the quality aspects of cereal plantations for them, noted that density, spatial and temporal non-uniformity averaged 1%, 7.7%, and 6.6%, respectively.

TESTIMONIALS
The contractors and manufacturers were in “Sembrar Saber”. Nicholas Ridley, from MSU; Alfredo Bernardoni, of ManAgro; Luis Verri is consultant of the Agronomy Tech studio and Fabián Belich, contractor from the “Agricola Testa” company participated in the meeting.

Ridley opened the game, saying MSU “is disabling standards from additional quality for contractors using the technology from precision “. For his part, Bernardoni assured that,” with the use of technologies, they have managed not only to be efficient in production costs, but also in making decisions about risks in production environments “.
In the case of Verri, he stated that “for the characteristics of the model from agricultural enterprise in Argentina, variable agriculture becomes a necessity to capture income ”. Likewise, Belich said that as contractors, “digital agriculture has made it easier for us to operate and expand our capabilities. from I work at 50% “.
