Orion and Koppert celebrate agreement for the application of bioinputs in grains

Orion Tecnologia e Sistemas and Koppert do Brasil announce a partnership focused on the application of biological products in planting furrows in grain crops. The union aims at greater efficiency of bio-inputs and cutting-edge technology in the use of biologicals during sowing. The partnership also promises to deliver Orion equipment to Koppert customers, seeking high operational performance and increased productivity, which can reach six more bags of soybeans per hectare, according to Orion's estimate.

The correct application of bioinputs in the planting furrow can generate benefits such as greater health, productivity, profitability and sustainability, according to Ricardo Rodrigues Cunha (left in photo), CEO of Orion. The partnership aims to add reliability, visibility and value to the products and brands of both companies.

André Cerignoni (right in the photo), commercial manager at Koppert, argues that the new business model guarantees the good quality of the living organisms present in the biological inputs during application. Orion equipment was developed especially for biological products, ensuring adequate application and, consequently, the expected results.

Alexandre Santiago, financial director and vice-president of Orion, states that the equipment is designed to meet the specific needs of each product and type of application, maintaining application efficiency at 98%. Mechanical risk factors are adjusted and eliminated in the equipment, avoiding damage to the integrity of the living organisms that make up the bio-inputs.

According to Orion's projections, a soybean producer who uses the company's equipment can have an increase in productivity of up to 6 more bags per hectare. In an area of ​​3 thousand hectares, this would represent a profit of R$3,4 million in one harvest, equivalent to a gain of 1.732% on the investment, considering the expenses with the planter and the applicator.
