Aapresid Congress Concludes With Data-Driven Roadmap for No-Till Farming

Confirmed biomass and yield data underpin calls for tailored, AI-powered agronomy after the Congress’s first in-person business rounds achieved 70% fulfillment.

Overview

  • Researchers reported service crops produced 4,000–5,000 kg of biomass and boosted soybean yields by over 800 kg and maize yields by up to 4,000 kg.
  • The inaugural in-person business rounds paired nearly 70 leading agricultural companies with producers in 20-minute meetings and saw 70% of scheduled sessions completed.
  • AAPRESID president Marcelo Torres and peers emphasized a shift from diagnosis to action under a “Código abierto” ethos focused on sustainable system redesign.
  • INTA and UBA specialists outlined a vision for quantitative agronomy that measures carbon, water and biodiversity at field scale through predictive models and AI.
  • International delegates from Japan and the Philippines detailed plans to scale Argentine no-till techniques, with Japan targeting 1,000 hectares by 2030 and the Philippines adapting methods for smallholder farms.
