DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UM APLICATIVO MOVÉL PARA APOIO À GESTÃO DE GRANDES CULTURAS POR PRODUTORES RURAIS NÃO ALFABETIZADOS: SOLUÇÕES TECNOLÓGICAS SIMPLES E EFICAZES

This work aims to develop a mobile application designed to support the management of large-scale crops for illiterate farmers. The proposal is based on creating simple, accessible, and effective technological solutions that can be easily used by this audience, considering their limitations in using complex technologies and in reading and writing. The application aims to optimize the management of agricultural activities, such as planting control, irrigation, input application, and weather forecasting, using intuitive interfaces with icons and voice commands.The development of the application is guided by the need to make agricultural management tools more accessible to small and medium-sized farmers, who face difficulties in accessing technology and formal training. To achieve this, the application uses an interactive and easy-to-navigate approach so that farmers can autonomously and efficiently monitor their activities without the need for advanced computer skills.Additionally, the work discusses how the adoption of simple technologies can contribute to increased productivity and sustainability on rural properties, allowing farmers to improve decision-making and reduce costs. The research also explores the impact of this innovation on the digital inclusion of farmers, promoting greater engagement with technology use in the field.The results suggest that the use of simple yet effective technological solutions can bring about a significant transformation in the management of large crops, providing farmers with a practical and accessible tool capable of increasing the efficiency of their activities and their competitiveness in the agricultural market.
