Adopting technological innovation in vegetable cultivation with no-tillage system: an integrative review

Abstract:

The considerable increase in the consumption of fresh horticultural products has intensified the importance of adopting technological innovations in agriculture, especially in the cultivation in a direct planting system for vegetables (SPDH). However, it is difficult to find and adopt technologies at a cost compatible with the size and revenue of the properties. In this way, a study was developed with the objective of identifying existing technologies and the conditions for the adoption of technological innovation in the cultivation of vegetables in SPDH. Carried out through a systematic review of the literature in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, in the period 2009-2019, it involved bibliometric and content analysis of the selected portfolio. For this purpose, the PRISMA analysis method was adopted. From this search, 94 articles were selected for in-depth study, from which it is concluded that innovation in the development of agriculture in the field of vegetables reduces the need for labor, makes it possible to establish a production standard, increase productivity and the supply of products with taste and quality required by the standards. It also improves the quality of life of farmers. However, for the SPDH to become more effective, some technological adaptations are needed. A list of technologies and criteria evaluated for their adoption was compiled and organized, helping the structuring of new research on the subject and access to specific knowledge for farmers interested in technological innovation for their properties.
