Summary:Research and technology development have been the foundation of impressive productivity gains in the agricultural sector. The ability of the sector to conserve natural resources and protect the environment depends, in part, on the technologies used. Agricultural research is the source of new technologies, and the importance of new technologies have emerged that may benefit the environment if adopted. On other hand, the market is a large offer of machines and installations designed to agriculture. However, many new and current agricultural technologies are complex and require a much higher level of human capital and managerial skills than in the past, increasing the costs of their adoption. The paper proposes a web platform which includes a series of data referring to the cultivation technologies, mechanization technologies and farm machines and implements. Using the information from the databases, the end user will be able to simulate varied mechanization technologies for varied crops using the farm machines and implements with a variety of characteristics from different manufacturers.
