Jumil offers launch seeder with new pneumatic seed doser

For more than 80 years in the Brazilian agricultural sector, Jumil, a company that manufactures agricultural equipment based in Batatais, in the interior of São Paulo, has worked in recent years to reinvent itself, always bringing to its customers technologies that guarantee competitive productivity. One of these strategies has been to identify companies for strategic partnerships focused on innovation.

Among the partners, one of the highlights has been J.Assy, a Brazilian company specializing in technological solutions for the agricultural segment. Based in Caldas Novas, Goiás, it started to integrate Jumil planters with its Selenium pneumatic doser. “Building partnerships is not so simple, the project needs to happen in a connected way, each person with their own expertise, trust factors prevailing. The technological package must deliver results”, says Fabrício Rosa de Morais, director of Jumil.

De Easy to use, Selenium is a precise pneumatic doser for distributing seeds as it does not require any adjustment. The technology has high precision in planting soybeans. Furthermore, it has high efficiency with cotton, corn, sorghum and bean seeds.

The solution also has an exclusive kit for each crop and is easy to handle and change kits (designed so that it can be done with just one hand). “We assessed the real needs of customers and J.Assy's technology came to act precisely on issues of seed population, space between them and singularity between spaces”, highlights the executive.

Jumil seeks quality in the vertical and horizontal distribution of seeds in its strategy. The technique can be calculated based on the standard deviation of the mean (statistical calculations) and determining acceptable coefficients of variation (CV).

According to Morais, the market deals with distribution of seeds only in the horizontal line (population, doubles, failures and singularity), whereas the company defines the importance of the technological package also delivering a CV in the line of vertical depth constancy with the use of other technologies embedded in the seeding unit, called flex. “This is our objective mainly in soybeans, as it is Brazil’s big business, we want it to guarantee liquidity, productivity, competitiveness and profitability to producers”, says the director.

The biggest challenge for companies is market competition and the big bet is on Brazilian technology. “We are competing with large global brands, which use American systems, but we invest in and honor the tools developed here. Seeking to provide flexibility to producers. This is a partnership that has already been validated and we were surprised by the volume of demand”, concludes Morais.
