Prospecção tecnológica de dispositivos digitais para o agroquímico

Abstract

Over time, technologies have been introduced in the agriculture sector, however, traditional tecniques still prevail, such as the use of agrochemicals in the cultivation of some foods. It is important to emphasize data released by the National Health Surveillance (2018) foods most affected by pesticides in Brazil, such as: peppers with products, pineapple 44,1%; grape 56,4%; papaya 38,8%; ccumber 50,8%; lettuce 38,4%; cabbage 44,2%; tomato 32,2%; beet 32,0%. In this sense, the present work aims to develop the technological prospection of digital devices aimed at agrochemicals. It is important to emphasize that technological prospecting is a means of highlighting the increase in technology and innovation of a company, country and educational institutions, in which it contributes positively to the strategic development where it makes it possible to assist in decision making. In the course of the research, a survey of the patent numbers on the main registration plataforms related to technology focused on pesticides was developed, such as: INPI and Orbit Intelligence, as well as the numbers of published articles related to the theme mapped in the Web of Science databases. and Scopus. From the investigation of the data, it was possible to measure how much countries are concerned with technological innovation and the need to improve their productivity processes, as well as the importance of technological prospecting in the process of insertion of innovation, based on some relevant authors who contributed to the construction of the present research as: Gaberell and Hoinkes (2019) that evidence the excessive use of pesticides and its consequences. Andrade, et al. (2018) in which he notes the importance of technological prospecting for the innovation mapping process. Geri an Fuyal (2020) emphasize the importance of technological devices for the purpose of identifying levels of pesticides in food. In this sense, the theme worked on is of paramount relevance, because this work proposes not only to provoke a reflection on the self-indices of use of pesticides in the process of growing food, but also on the available technologies that come with the proposal to identify the levels contained in the foods.
