•Involve all technical programs for to

PRECISION FARM
 WHAT MEAN PF?
• Applied the necessary at moment at the right
time at the best site.

• Adjust the management of the plantations

with the spatial variations (geographical) and
temporary, with objective of increase the
productivity, reduce costs through more
efficient and reduce environmental impacts.
 ¿ WHY WE NEED TO APLYD PF?
• Each area or “cable” must be produce the
quantity of boxes in relation with the
potential of every soil.

• Each Supervisor made a diagnostic for

every cable or lot.
