Eleven scientific works resulting from research by Embrapa Territorial (Campinas, SP) will be presented, starting on Sunday, April 2, at the XX Brazilian Symposium on Remote Sensing (SBSR). They deal with activities such as aquaculture, soybean, cotton and coffee production, as well as organic food. They explore regions such as the Amazon biome and Matopiba, an area of agricultural expansion in Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia.
Eight researchers and analysts from Embrapa Territorial will be at the event. Alongside colleagues from other Embrapa units, the deputy head of Research and Development, Lucíola Alves Magalhães, participates in the technical session “Brazilian agriculture in the era of Data Science”, on Monday, April 3, when she will present Strategic Territorial Intelligence Systems. “It is a great opportunity for us to show, to the entire geo community in the country, how we have been working with a large volume of spatial information, obtained through remote sensing and geoprocessing techniques, and how this can support the territorial development of the country, particularly in the case of agriculture”, comments Magalhães. Present in this and other editions of the Symposium, the researcher Janice Freitas Leivas highlights the event’s ability to promote interaction between professionals in the field.
The experience accumulated by the research center in the geoprocessing of data from the National Rural Environmental Registry System (Sicar) was used in three of the works presented. In the first, the information was compared to that from the 2017 Agricultural Census to estimate the number of rural units in Matopiba. The results indicate that 72% of rural properties registered in Sicar do not have a direct spatial correlation with the agricultural establishments visited by the Census; on the other hand, for 65% of these, no direct spatial correlation was found with properties in Sicar. The public database was also one of the sources explored to evaluate the potential for expanding the adoption of silicate agrominerals in Goiás. It was also used to map organic production properties in Minas Gerais and its environmental preservation areas.
Two of the works exhibited at the Symposium show how two technological solutions developed at Embrapa Territorial were constructed: Monitora Oeste and the SITE Aquicultura geoweb. The Monitora Oeste application generates alerts about the favorable occurrence of diseases and pests in soybeans and cotton for farmers in Western Bahia. To do so, it combines data from monitoring the occurrence of problems and meteorological information. The geoweb Strategic Territorial Intelligence System for Aquaculture is a platform that allows access to hundreds of spatialized data on the aquaculture segment, with different possibilities for crossing and filtering, in addition to downloads.
The Amazon biome is the subject of four other works. Three of them deal with sediment export in the river basins of the Iquiri - Ituxi (AC) and Dourado (AM) rivers. The fourth discusses the forest-agriculture transition in the biome and its relationship with rural credit. The latter will be presented in an oral session.
Embrapa Territorial's participation also includes the presentation of the zoning of areas favorable to the entry of a quarantine pest that is absent in the country and the characterization of coffee growing areas and native forests in a municipality in the interior of São Paulo.
