A partnership between Embrapa Soils (Rio de Janeiro) and the Brazilian Center for Physics Research (CBPF), both located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, developed a new solution for the automation of data collection in the field, more specifically the infiltration and the flow of water in the soil. It´s a new permeameter - most used equipment in the world to assess water conduction in soils - able to perform this gathering digitally through a low cost computer. So, it decreases the time and the costs oe evaluation of hydraulic parametres, wich allow, the process of water absorption by the soiA partnership between Embrapa Soils (Rio de Janeiro) and the Brazilian Center for Physics Research (CBPF), both located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, developed a new solution for the automation of data collection in the field, more specifically the infiltration and the flow of water in the soil.

The companies now search for partners in order to produce the equipmente in a large scale and insert it into the market. This technological solution was developed by Embrapa in partnership with other institution(s).
