The application was developed by the Agricultural Mechanization and Precision Agriculture sector team at Fundação ABC. The tool's function is to help the rural producer to calculate the cost of the mechanized sets used in agricultural operations.
Fundação ABC provides a table of agricultural mechanization costs with average data, but due to the particularities of each property, these costs may vary for the same operation. Therefore, the application was developed for the rural producer to fill in the fields with his data, such as the amount paid in the acquisition of the machines, interest, insurance, maintenance and diesel. In addition, you can change the calculation parameters, such as service life, scrap value and usage in hours per year. The application allows the producer to change all fields to perform the calculation.
The application works in two steps, the first step being to register the machines and the second step to configure an operation. In the register of machines, the producer can give a name to each machine and insert the values ​​that match their reality. The fields are all filled in to serve as an example, but they can all be changed. After registration, all machines can be consulted, edited and excluded from the list of registered machines. The second step is to configure an agricultural operation, where the implement and the power source are chosen, insert the value of the operational capacity, value of diesel and labor.
After the operations have been configured, they can be consulted, edited and excluded from the operations cost list. When accessing this list, it is already possible to know the cost in R$/hour and R$/ha of each operation. And to see the cost in detail, just click on any saved operation to open a list with the values ​​that make up the total cost. In this same list, it is possible to change the value of diesel and labor and update all operations at once.
To use the application, it is not necessary to register or create a login, nor do you need to be connected to the internet. The data and information entered in the application are saved only on the user's device, not being sent to Fundação ABC or saved in any other location. Fundação ABC is a private agricultural research institution, with more than 30 years of existence and recognition throughout the country, including abroad, for research and development of new technologies.
