Sistema de monitoreo de variables ambientales para la gestión de cultivos de piña en sus tres fases determinantes del sector agroindustrial

Abstract

The SIEMBRA project was born out of the interest of supporting research projects for the management of pineapple cultivation without affecting production rates but achieving ecological sustainability with the environment and people's health, in the same way generating a lower impact on water and soil resources through a monitoring system of environmental variables (temperature, humidity, precipitation, altitude, wind and light or photoperiod) which allows us to promote new sustainable practices that strengthen environmental culture in areas of high pineapple production. The Environmental Variables Monitoring System (SMVA) doesn’t guarantee the extermination of a pest or disease that affects pineapple crops, but by observing and having comprehensive knowledge of the physical factors that condition production (such as climatic needs, soil and water) and phytosanitary characteristics and their phenology (stationary changes in crops). It’s possible to intervene through the SMVA tool, controlling the variables in which pests and diseases have a better chance of surviving, minimizing and limiting the attacks and impacts they cause on the crop of pineapple and allowing to exercise control over the variables and the pertinent decision making according to the particular cases that are presented to the farmer.
