Smart technologies to be showcased at Agrtechnica 2025

This year's Agritechnica 2025 will take place from 9-15 November in Hanover, Germany and will feature advanced, networked agricultural systems in line with the theme 'Touch Smart Efficiency'

Organised by the DLG (German Agricultural Society), the international trade fair will provide farming professionals with direct access to technologies that drive efficiency, sustainability, and productivity in modern agriculture. Conventional agriculture is set to increasingly focus on integrated crop production and crop protection in the future.

Thanks to modern sensor and control technology, the combination of mechanical and chemical crop protection has potential in integrated crop production, as do purely mechanical methods in which the hoeing tools are precisely controlled by cameras - both   between and within the rows. In the former case, this enables high working speeds and, in both cases, significant savings in crop protection input. There are also already interesting approaches for optimized control of hoeing units using artificial intelligence (AI).

Mineral fertilisation is also becoming increasingly precise. An important goal here is to minimise nutrient inputs into bodies of water, particularly in the case of nitrogen fertilisation. Other goals are to save on mineral fertilisers through greater precision and increased efficiency. The agricultural machinery manufacturers' answers to these requirements are sensor-supported rate control, further developments in border, automatic part-width section control and variable rate adjustment or systems for adjusting the spreading pattern when cornering. Pneumatic fertiliser spreaders ensure high precision fertiliser application at the field boundary.

Visitors at Agritechnica 2025, will have the opportunity to explore the current technical possibilities and learn how to optimise their application at the booths of numerous exhibitors and through expert forum contributions.
