Eduardo

Not every drainage area needs the standard pipe density. On Eduardo's property in Dom Aquino (MT), the project called for something else: recovering an area with old ditches and waterlogged spots, with soil moisture control as the central goal — not just productivity.

The challenge

The area had old, poorly sized drainage ditches causing erosion and localized waterlogging — soil with excessive, irregular moisture that made management harder: machine traffic, the planting window, and uniform crop emergence.

The Techduto solution

Techduto sized the project based on the area's real need — half the density of a conventional project, concentrated at the correction points. The focus wasn't just draining the excess water, but restoring predictability to management: more uniform moisture and a more consistent machine operation window.

What the partnership delivered

~120 hectares recovered with targeted drainage correction
Soil moisture controlled more uniformly across the area
More predictable machine management and planting window
30% productivity gain in the recovered area
Project sized at half the standard density, with no oversizing

Fun fact

What led the producer to seek out Techduto wasn't productivity — it was management. He was tired of the problems caused by the open ditches and the extra costs they generated day to day. The productivity jump came as a surprise, not as the initial goal.
