More efficient production
With the appropriate prescription maps and precision tractors and equipment, we can carry out our input-material applications in a targeted manner, with the least possible waste during the operation.
A high level of IT integration is an increasingly essential element of modern farming. With fifty years of development experience behind it, KITE Zrt. offers its partners a wide range of services in this area through its PGR platform. ts tools make plannability and efficiency improvements tangible and provide users with a sustainable competitive advantage, regardless of farm size.
WHY IS IT WORTH
IMPLEMENTING THE PGR?
Fast reaction ability
Thanks to the continuous data flow through the system, it is possible to react very quickly to changing conditions, whether related to weather or plant protection. In possession of this ability, yield losses can be minimized.
Higher yield
Since the focus of the Precision Farming System is the crop, we can increase the yield by understanding the needs of the plant and addressing them precisely.
Plannability
You can prepare your application plans in advance based on the available data, which remain editable even after they have been created, so you can determine the rates to be applied as you see fit.
Data-driven decision-making
By organizing and processing data collected by modern tractors and implements, as well as remote sensing, GPS and drones, informed decisions can be made at every stage of the AG technology.
Reasonable resource management
The information collected and evaluated during production helps farmers to optimize AG-technology, ensuring better, long-term resource management.
Real-time monitoring
It becomes possible to monitor and automate various agricultural operations, thereby saving time, reducing operational errors, and improving operational efficiency.
Fleet-based approach
Various applications can be used to review and analyze the operation of the farm from desktop or mobile devices, and to compare performance from the daily level to seasonal evaluations.
An environmentally friendly solution
By applying fertilizers and plant protection products correctly, farmers can reduce soil and water pollution caused by runoff and leaching. Optimized irrigation practices contribute to the conservation of water resources.
Adaptation to the weather
By monitoring measured weather parameters and soil moisture levels, farmers can optimize irrigation schedules, fine-tune planting dates, and implement other adaptive measures to optimize crop performance and avoid unnecessary use of resources.
Soil protection
Less soil disturbance, optimum use of cover crop, optimum management of residues and contour farming to prevent soil erosion contribute to the long-term preservation of our soils and thus our environment as a whole.
Reducing carbon footprint
Precision farming with conservation tillage, the use of fertilizers and pesticides at the right place and with the right amount, and minimize the number of field passes greatly reduce the emission of greenhouse gases generated by agricultural activities. This enables the farms to meet the environmental, economic, and social challenges of sustainability.

DetailsKITE PGR
For more than 50 years, we have travelled the world in order to adopt the innovations and developments we find at the service of Hungarian agriculture. Sustainability, food safety and the need to coexist with the natural environment represent major challenges for agriculture in the 21st century - challenges that the sector is unable to meet if simply left to its own devices. KITE has recognized the opportunity behind this challenge for farmers and created the PGR for this very reason, innovatively combining decades of practical experience with the tools available today. Information technology has given us a helping hand by structuring existing data, providing means for evaluating such data and for using it in planning, via apps designed to complement the relevant AG technology.
THE KITE PRECISION

PGR-BASED
INDIVIDUAL SERVICES
Our partners have a wide range of capacities and endowments. Not all farms have the same field, crop, and equipment characteristics. In many cases, all that is needed for successful operations is to replace a single equipment. In other cases, soil heterogeneity and the responses to it are the key to successful farming. We provide priority and standalone services to our partners to help them find the “missing link”, and professional solutions to increase their output and profitability.

THOSE WHO ALREADY WORK WITH THE PGR
In the PGR, all the information needed to make good decisions, such as data from meteorological stations, software for supporting machine operation, precision soil sample results, and satellite images, are available in one place. Using the system, a farmer with basic IT skills can assess nutrient requirements, create nutrient plans, decide what fertilization technology to use and prepare variable rate application maps for his fields. Since all the elements of the application maps can be freely edited, the farmer most familiar with the fields can take into account the factors that can’t be scientifically measured at the preparation stage.
Zoltán Bodrogi, Agroprodukt Kft. Jánoshalma
The entire fleet of machines (tractors and implements) is recorded in the system, so you can track the activity of the various machines individually as the work is being done. The location and direction of the planned work can be shown on the machine’s display, to ensure uninterrupted work. With the analysis function, all data can be displayed for each field separately.
Dóra Tóth-Ötvös, Hemag Kft., Heves
Based on our experience so far, I only have positive things to say about KITE’s services related to precision technology. The conversion of the combine harvester for cereal and row crops was carried out professionally, in a very short time, including the calibration of the Yield Mass Flow Sensor and Moisture Sensor, and they also provided training for the operator.
Zsolt Weber, „Árpád” Kft., Kőröstetétlen
We have a meteorological station, which means we can use the Agrometeorological app to access all the data we need. By joining the PGR, we’ve already achieved major savings in fuel, seed, pesticide and working hours by leveraging the data recorded during operations.
Zoltán Ötvös, sole trader Heves
Of the various PGR apps, Agrometeorological app is the one we use pretty much every day. The agrometeorological station provides accurate, reliable results, and the app enables the rapid processing and graphical display of large amounts of accumulated data.
