Data collection is the process of collecting and storing high amounts of data from any system. The data results from the calculations by sensors, machines and experiments. They can be weather data, environmental parameters, images etc.

Spectral-temporal characterization of wheat cultivars through NDVI obtained by terrestrial sensors [Farmer]

Paper Introduction Remote sensing technique has emerged as an effective tool for systematic survey, analysis, and better management of natural resources (land, soil, water, forests, mountains) along with the monitoring of desertification, flood, drought, and landform change. It provides a vast scope to explore, identify, and analyse the natural resources of undeveloped regions. It documents… read more »

Large-scale crop monitoring [Professional]

  Introduction Crops monitoring on large-scale farm is a complex and time-consuming exercise, particularly in warm arid conditions where crops can change drastically in 24 hours.  Reducing scouting time is of great importance while providing maps for large areas within hours would be the ultimate goal. With multi-spectral sensors, biomass is monitored accurately helping the… read more »

SunScan [Farmer]

Introduction Rapid and reliable estimates of leaf area index (LAI) are important for studies of exchanges of energy and gases in the biosphere-atmosphere continuum. In this case evaluated the field performance of SunScan canopy analysis system for rapid estimation of LAI. Direct and indirect measurements of LAI were made in a maize (Zea mays L.)… read more »

ICT solutions’ integration in farms [Farmer]

  Introduction In the future European farmers will have to effectively manage information on and off their farms to improve economic viability and to reduce environmental impact. All three levels, in which agricultural activities need to be harmonized with economical and environmental constraints, require integrated ICT adoption: improvement of farm efficiency; integration of public goods… read more »

Manure Sensing [Farmer]

  Introduction Manure is a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. But until now, natural variance and rapid settling left the success of manure fertilisation to chance[1]. Optimizing the use of manure minimizes loss of nutrients and dispersion into the environment. Manure not only contains nutrients such as N, P and K which can be re-used as fertilizer… read more »

Base Fertilization [Farmer]

  Introduction Differences within plant stock mostly depend on the soil. The measurement of electrical conductivity with the help of a soil scanner gives the first impression of these relative differences. As a result detailed soil zone maps can be generated to facilitate fertilization in accordance with real needs of the farm.   Related Smart… read more »

Low-cost soil moisture profile probe [Farmer]

Paper Introduction Soil moisture is an important property for agriculture, but currently commercialized soil moisture sensors are too expensive for many farmers. The objective of this study is to develop a low-cost soil moisture sensor using capacitors on a film substrate and a capacitive touch integrated circuit. References [1] Yuki Kojima,Ryo Shigeta, Naoya Miyamoto, Yasutomo… read more »

Real Time Kinetic mobile machine control [Farmer]

Introduction Effective Real Time Kinematic (RTK) mobile machine control requires a sufficient number of global positioning system (GPS) satellites that are both visible and suitably positioned. Reliably obtaining the highest degree of accuracy and precision afforded by RTK technology requires satellites from multi-national Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).[1]     Find out more by watching… read more »

Sensors for Spray Analyzing [Farmer]

  Introduction Sensors that can detect spraying droplets and specify certain spraying parameters such as droplet diameter, volume, classification etc. This data can provide valuable feedback of ongoing operations for the operator regarding how effective the occurring spraying applications are and the potential risk of spray drift. Related Smart Farming Technology Products Spraying Systems Co…. read more »
