Read MoreThe national market of agriculture 4.0 technologies in decline
For the first time, the national market for Agriculture 4.0 technologies is shrinking. After seven years of uninterrupted growth, 2024 has seen an annual drop of eight percent. This trend has been heavily influenced by a decrease in demand for machines and equipment integrated with digital solutions, largely due to the end of tax incentives. After years of steady growth, 2024 marks the first slowdown in the Italian market for digital technologies in agriculture. This is the key finding of the “Smart Agrifood Observatory 2025,”. This is an annual study…
Read MoreFertilizers, fertile duties from the EU
European Commission Proposes Tariffs on Russian and Belarusian Agricultural Products and Nitrogen-Based Fertilizers The European Commission has recently adopted a proposal to impose customs duties on agricultural products and nitrogen-based fertilizers imported from Russia and Belarus. The move aims to reduce the EU’s dependence on imports from the two countries, which—especially in the case of fertilizers—make the European Union vulnerable to potential coercive actions by Russia, posing a significant risk to EU food security. According to the Commission, the proposed tariffs are intended to support increased domestic fertilizer production and…

Read MoreKverneland Rotago F, quality power harrows for refining the soil
The foldable rotary harrows “Rotago F” by Kverneland can operate independently for soil refinement or in combination with the “Cb-F” seed bars and the “f-drill” front-mounted tank Efficient Soil Preparation for Precision Seeding Soil refinement is essential for creating optimal conditions for seed drills. A well-leveled and uniform seedbed ensures precise seed placement in terms of depth and row spacing. There are two primary approaches to achieving this: passive mechanical tillage using trailed implements or rotary harrows, which provide a more intense clod-crushing action. While trailed equipment may struggle in…
