Resumo
The use of technology in production has become the main driver for the competitiveness of
agricultural businesses. Investigating the process of technological adoption in a society that
presents a heterogeneous technological structure is essential for a harmonious modernization
process on the field. The present study investigates the process of adopting technologies in
precision agriculture in the states of Goiás and Federal District, in Central Brazil. By means
of primary data, the characterization of farm usage, its conditioning factors for adoption and
their interactions, through estimation of econometric models. In view of the 15 years of
commercial availability in Brazil of the main technologies in precision agriculture, soybean
producers in the region have been adopting this set of technologies, on average, for 5 years.
The use of management practices, previous experience with technologies, participation in
cooperative networks were important conditioning factors for adoption, as well as their time
of adopting technologies in agronomic diagnoses. The use of these technologies is initially
interrelated, however, when interacting with the size of farm, with time of adoption of soil
diagnoses technologies, grid soil sample and remote censoring become substitutes. The data
show that the larger farm size, the greater the substitution effect. Policies that aim at the
formation of cooperatives and implementation of technical infrastructure of communication
should be implemented for the adoption and diffusion of technologies in precision agriculture,
thus acting by these indications, public sector can foment the modernizing process in the field.
