1. Natural Resources Management through Frontier Technologies - A Case Study from IndiaThe social and economic development of the state is interlaced with our natural resources, and the manner in which they are managed and exploited. The unplanned development and overexploitation of resources are exerting various... H.H. Gowda, K.A. Reddy, M.B. Patil, R.N. L, U. Shanwad |
2. Optimizing Vineyard Irrigation Through The Automatic Resistivity Profiling (arp) Technology. The Proposal Of A Methodological ApproachIn Tuscany, central Italy, grape cultivation and wine production (i.e., Chianti DOCG, Brunello di Montalcino) are farming activities appreciated worldwide. Differently from the past, irrigation is allowed to meet the intense physiological stress that may occur during seasons affected by the increasing climate variability, in order to guarantee quality product and hence high market profitability in many vines areas. Most vineyards... P. Pagni, G.P. Ghinassi, M.P. Vieri |
3. Effective Use of a Debris Cleaning Brush for Mechanical Wild Blueberry HarvestingWild blueberries are an important horticultural crop native to northeastern North America. Management of wild blueberry fields has improved over the past decade causing increased plant density and leaf foliage. The majority of wild blueberry fields are picked mechanically using tractor mounted harvesters with 16 rotating rakes that gently comb through the plants. The extra foliage has made it more difficult for the cleaning brush to remove unwanted debris (leaf, stems, weeds, etc.) from the picker... K. Esau, Q. Zaman, A. Farooque, A. Schumann |
4. Impacts of Interpolating Methods on Soil Agri-environmental Phosphorus Maps Under Corn ProductionPhosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for crops production including corn. However, the excessive P application, tends to P accumulation at the soil surface under crops systems. This may contribute to increase water and groundwater pollution by surface runoff. To prevent this, an agri-environmental P index, (P/Al)M3, was developed in Eastern Canada and USA. This index aims to estimate soil P saturation for accurate P fertilizer recommendations, while integrating agronomical aspects... J. Nze memiaghe, A.N. Cambouris, N. Ziadi, M. Duchemin, A. Karam |
5. An IoT-based Smart Real Time Sensing and Control of Heavy Metals to Ensure Optimal Growth of Plants in an Aquaponic Set-upThe concentration of heavy metals that needs to be maintained in aquaponic environments for habitable growth of plants has been a cause of concern for many decades now as it is not possible to eliminate them completely in a commercial set-up. Our goal is to design a cost-effective real-time smart sensing and actuation system in order to control the concentration of heavy metals in aquaponic solutions. Our solution consists of sensing the nutrient concentrations in the aquaponic solution, namely... S. Dhal, J. Louis, N. O'sullivan, J. Gumero, M. Soetan, S. Kalafatis, J. Lusher, S. Mahanta |
6. Portable Soil EC - Development of an Electronic Device for Determining Soil Electrical ConductivityDecision-making in agriculture demands continuous monitoring, a factor that propels the advancement of tools within Agriculture 4.0. In this context, understanding soil characteristics is essential. Electrical conductivity (EC) sensors play a pivotal role in this comprehension. Given this backdrop, the core motivation of this research was developing an accessible and effective electronic device to measure the apparent EC of the soil. It provides features like geolocation, recording of the date... C.L. Bazzi, L.A. Rauber, W.K. Oliveira, R. Sobjak, K. Schenatto, L. Gebler, L.M. Rabello |
7. AgDataBox-IoT - Managing IoT Data and Devices on Precision AgricultureThe increasing global population has resulted in a substantial demand for nourishment, which has prompted the agricultural sector to investigate ways to improve efficiency. Precision agriculture (PA) uses advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and sensor networks to collect and analyze field information. Although the advantages are numerous, the available data storage, management, and analysis resources are limited. Therefore, creating and providing a user-friendly web application... C.L. Bazzi, W.K. Oliveira, R. Sobjak, K. Schenatto, E. Souza, A. Hachisuca, F. Franz |
8. Geographic Database in Precision Agriculture for the Development of AI ResearchAgriculture 4.0 has profoundly transformed production processes by incorporating technologies such as Precision Agriculture, Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, and telemetry. This evolution has enabled more accurate and timely decision-making in agriculture. In response to this movement, the Precision Agriculture Laboratory (AgriLab) of UTFPR, located in Medianeira, proposes the establishment of a consistent and standardized database. This database is continually updated with surveys... E.N. Avila, C.L. Bazzi, W.K. Oliveira, K. Schenatto, R. Sobjak, D.M. Rocha |
9. AgDataBox-IA – Web Application with Artificial Intelligence for Agricultural Data Analysis in Precision AgricultureAgriculture has been continually evolving, incorporating hardware, software, sensors, aerial surveys, soil sampling for chemical, physical, and granulometric analysis (based on sample grids), and microclimatic data, leading to a substantial volume of data. This requires platforms to store, manage, and transform these data into actionable information for decision-making in the field. In this regard, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the most widely used tool globally to mine and transform vast data... R. Sobjak, C.L. Bazzi, K. Schenatto, W.K. Oliveira, A.E. Menegasso |
