Topics at AGRITECHNICA
Here you will find regular news, technical features and interviews on the focus topics of the world's leading trade fair. You can also find further information in our media library and the DLG digital magazine.
Digital data exchange with the agrirouter Next Generation
Visitors to AGRITECHNICA 2025 will find the new Digital Farm Center with the DLG spotlight “Digital Farming” in Hall 21. DKE-Data (Hall 21/ C17) will be there as a specialist partner, presenting the agrirouter Next Generation.
Digitalization on the Farm: A Look into the Future
Digital technologies and applications are designed to help make work easier, increase productivity and profitability, minimise resource consumption and counteract labour shortages. The potential of digitalisation in agriculture is far from being fully exploited.
(Semi-)Autonomous fieldwork – Technology with potential and a future
Autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles and machines are becoming increasingly common in agricultural fields. Enabled by technologies such as GPS, sensors, cameras, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning, modern robots and tractors can perform tasks independently while remaining under human supervision.
Production-ready assistance functions for mobile machinery
Die Off-Highway-Industrie setzt zunehmend auf mobile Maschinen, die hochgradig vernetzt sind und teilautonom fahren. Als Folge davon wächst der Bedarf an Assistenzsystemen, die den Fahrer entlasten.
Alternative Drive Solutions: Challenge and opportunity for Agricultural machinery dealers
In the future, tractors and agricultural machines will be powered by alternative fuels or electricity. Dealers will be required to develop new concepts for sales, service, and training in the future. However, they can also view these changes as opportunities to adapt and align their business models accordingly.
Regenerative Agriculture: The Answer to Climate Change?
Regenerative agriculture is increasingly being discussed as a concept for the future of farming and it is one that places soil health at its core. A broad mix of tools allows farmers to adopt individual components or implement the entire system.
Alternative drives: What alternatives are there?
What alternative drives and fuels will power tractors and other agricultural machinery in the future? This is one of the big questions currently shaping agriculture as the end of fossil diesel is drawing to a close.
Autonomous Systems
Autonomous field work is no longer a distant prospect with robots increasingly finding their way into practical applications. However, further development work is needed before they can be used on a broader scale and fundamental safety issues still need to be clarified.
Smart Spraying
Smart spraying, the plot-specific and precisely targeted application of crop protection products, will be an important pillar of agricultural technology of the future.
Alternative drive technology
Electrical and hydrogen powertrains are just a few of the alternative drive systems finding their place in modern farming. One important reason for the increased interest in alternative drives and fuels is the push to significantly reduce greenhouse gases.
Soil in the spotlight
Regenerative agriculture – an approach that reconciles climate, environmental and yield targets – on the way to becoming the new industry standard? Or just a trend? This question is stirring up the agricultural sector. The DLG-Mitteilungen dossier sheds light on what is really behind it, what role soil plays and why the discussion about definitions often comes to nothing.
Agricultural Machinery Trade
The agricultural machinery dealer trade is facing numerous challenges—many of which it can only respond to in a limited way. One major challenge is digitalization, which continues to make rapid progress on farms.
Next level Human Machine Interfaces in off-highway use ensure greater productivity and enhance safety
Increasing connectivity and automation in the off-highway sector is influencing the interaction between man and machine: the ‘ideal’ human-machine interface (HMI) supports the driver and provides them with the right information at the right time.
Autonomous systems through smart environmental sensors and AI cameras
The clear benefits that assistance systems offer are driving manufacturers to integrate smart sensors and camera systems into their agricultural, forestry, construction, and mining machinery. The resulting solutions meet the growing demand for increased productivity.
Road to Zero Emissions
The megatrend of sustainability is firmly impacting mobile machinery. How can electrification and hybridization projects be delivered on time and within budget?
