Dominus Soli / Alvo introduce new technology in Brazil to avoid agrochemical drift

By Leonardo Gottems, reporter for AgroPages 
 
The company Dominus Soli has announced the formation of a technological partnership with Alvo Consultoria to launch a portfolio of innovative services. The first result of the cooperation is the Spray Plan, a new technology that diagnoses and corrects technical failures in the aerial applications of agrochemicals, and can increase the effectiveness of spray coverage up to 96%.
 
According to Dominus Soli, the Brazilian market leader in the monitoring of agricultural aircraft, software is a resource that, employed with adequate technical support, expands the productive potential of crops and protects living organisms, such as pollinating insects.
 
Executives Antonio Loures and Marco Antonio Lino, partners of the company, the portfolio of services developed with Alvo will offer exclusive methodologies for quality auditing in air applications, the review of execution processes and operating norms of piloting, as well as the cost management use of aircraft. The partnership will also make feasible the introduction of new technologies aimed at increasing the economic returns on treatments by air.
 
The spray plan system aims to solve problems of coverage effectiveness of agrochemicals from 75% to 96% of the treated area. Studies indicate that if adequate technical standards are not observed in air-field treatment, losses may be as high as 50% in the volume of agricultural pesticides applied, whether due to the occurrence of drift, evaporation or unfavorable weather conditions.
 
Sindag (National Union of Agricultural Aviation Companies) pointed out that there are 240 agricultural aviation companies active in Brazil, in addition to 565 operators linked to farmers and cooperatives. The total number of aircraft in use, according to the entity, is close to 2,080. Still, according to Sindag, annually, some 70 million hectares of crops receive pesticide applications by air.
 
"We believe that this union could contribute to breaking myths, strengthening and preserving aerial application and also help reverse the negative image of agricultural aviation in Brazil," said agronomist Glauberto Moderno, a specialist in technologies for the application of agrochemicals by air and founder of Alvo Consultoria.
