Desenvolvimento de um aplicativo com tecnologia android para cálculo de produtividade de culturas agrícolas, cálculo de seguro rural e subsidio de informações para plantio e insumos agrícolas

Abstract

Agriculture represents one of the largest economic activities in Brazil, and there is always a need to improve agricultural practices and make them more efficient. In looking for areas of improvement, we observed several needs that the agronomist feels in his daily life, especially the ways the productivity of the crop is calculated before the harvest. This is typically done manually by quoting the insurance and is carried out by means of a written spreadsheet (with such information as planting time and cultivars) and is completed through physical books and folders provided by the companies that provide the product. There is a great possibility of finding a more efficient solution in a mobile device considering that it will perfectly supplement the physical restrictions of the procedure mentioned above. In this project was developed a mobile application for the Android operating system with functionalities for calculating the productivity of several crops per hectare, completing an insurance quote for farming, and giving a more accurate depiction of the security to the farmer before crop. The app could also function to show what season is best to plant a given crop according to the agricultural calendar, according to the ministry of agriculture, and the present product options for the farmer has at their disposal.
