BRAZIL
five years , for instance , soybean production reached 3,000 kilograms per hectare ( 6,600 lbs . per acre ) against a 2,900 ( 6380 lbs . per acre ) national median and 2,868 ( 6310 lbs . per acre ) in American production . These results are mainly owed to : cost structure and efficient operational cycle , production technology with high mechanization of cultivation and harvest processes , utilization of the crop rotation system , dominance of no-till farming techniques and experience in soil composition correction and seed selection . Plus , SLC Agricola hopes that the introduction of transgenic seeds might increase productivity and reduce production costs , especially with pesticides . “ The sectors have been modernized in many fronts , amongst which we can highlight the improvement of seeds , especially the genetically modified type , and precision agriculture , a more current concept that encompasses diverse technologies such as the ones employed on combine harvesters ,” commented Pavinato .
