Recording of environmental parameters describes the processes and activities that need to take place to characterise and monitor the quality of the environment. The recording can be used in the preparation of environmental impact assessments, as well as in many circumstances in which human activities carry a risk of harmful effects on the natural environment.
EnviroMonitor is a revolution of precision agriculture: it gathers intelligence by measuring, monitoring and managing critical field data related climate, irrigation, and crop production. Add almost any sensor you choose to suit your needs and microclimate. Sensor data is gathered over a secure, self-optimizing, self-healing network. Your farm is unique. You must make decisions based… read more »

Its main asset is that it frees the hands and minds of wine growers so that they can spend more time on tasks with a higher value-add. TED is also an excellent alternative to chemical… read more »
Introduction Crop yield determination is a crucial function in planning for food security of the population of a district or even of the whole country. Typical yield predictions are performed using knowledge of historical data on previous yields and weather patterns along with measurements manually taken in the field. These types of traditional methods are… read more »
Introduction Population increase and the improvement of living standards brought about by development will result in a sharp increase in food demand during the next decades. At the same time, water inputs will have to be reduced in response to water scarcity and environmental concerns. Water productivity is projected to increase through gains in… read more »
Introduction Accurate soil water content measurements are critical for estimation of energy and water balances, as well as for understanding chemical and biological processes in vadose zone, plant root zones and in groundwater.[1] Soil electrical conductivity is an indirect measurement that correlates very well with several soil physical and chemical properties. Electrical conductivity is the… read more »
Introduction Remote Sensing is the ability to measure the properties of an object or region without the need of physical contact with the object itself (Lillesand and Keifer, 1994). In most remote sensing applications, electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is used to ‘sense’ a certain attribute of the object or area of interest.[1] By combining more than… read more »
Introduction A Variable Rate Seeder is a seeder that has the ability to apply different seeding rates according to prescription map. The VR Seeder incorporates with positioning systems, for prescription map based application, in order to increase or decrease the seeding rate through automatic control of seeding discs, achieving yield increase by planting the exact… read more »
Introduction To achieve a more precise, ecological and economical pesticide application process, it is important to focus on crop parameters and field variability instead solely on disease occurrence. In fields with different soil quality, crops and water availability the amount of spray needed varies as well. For example, areas with a reduced cop growth need… read more »
Introduction Climate smart agriculture is one of the techniques that maximizes agricultural outputs, through proper management of inputs based on climatological conditions. Real time weather monitoring system is an important tool to monitor the climatic conditions of a farm, because many of the farms related problems can be solved by better understanding of the surrounding… read more »
Introduction ISO 11783 (commonly referred to as “ISO Bus” or “ISOBUS”) is an electronic protocol for the communication of agricultural components and tractors (also forestry equipment) based on the SAE J1939 protocol (which includes CANbus). It all started years ago when the first electronic systems began to be created in agriculture, each manufacturer created and… read more »
