Subject field(s)
  • Types of Aircraft
  • Applications of Automation
  • Farm Equipment
CONT

Agriculture drones have a wide range of uses. For starters, they can be used in monitoring crop growth in real time. By taking aerial photographs... or videos... of large farm fields, farmers and agriculturists can identify potential problems with their crops before they become serious issues.... Drones in agriculture have also helped lower labor costs associated with traditional crop production practices by reducing the need for manual labor in areas such as scouting pest and disease infestations, detecting soil variations, measuring water content in the soil, or assessing fertilizer requirements. Additionally, some advanced models come equipped with sensors that measure light, temperature, pH levels in soil, and other essential parameters related to crop health.

In estimating an extraneous maximum residue level the JMPR [Joint Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO)/World Health Organization(WHO) Meeting on Pesticide Residues] attempts to take into account a number of factors. These include the amount of data, the relative importance of the commodity in international trade, the potential for trade difficulties or accounts thereof, the frequency of positive results, a knowledge of the propensity of a particular crop to take up residues, e. g., the uptake of DDT [dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane] by carrots, historical monitoring data...

The SAR data currently used as information's for crop monitoring relies on a multitemporal approach because ERS2 as RADARSAT 1 acquire data only a single polarization... Future spaceborne SAR such as ENVISAT-ASAR, ALOS and RADARSAT-2 will provide imagery in multiple polarizations. Based on the most recent literature this section provides a short summary of the state of art about the contribution of multipolarized imagery for agriculture application.

CONT

The lingonberry fruitworm is a small moth whose larvae borrow into and feed on lingonberry fruit. Feeding damage causes berry loss, but most of the problems are caused by the wthitish caterpillars emerging from the fruit after it is picked. This results in reduced marketability. There is increasing interest in domesticated lingonberry cultivars from the US and Europe, and several of these cultivars are now being tested here. To ensure industry growth the fruit must be free of insects and insect damage. With this research goal, the Atlantic Cool Climate Crop Research Centre tested a monitoring system for the fruitworm using "pheromones".

OBS

The lingonberry, known locally as the partridgeberry, is a member of the cranberry family.

L'industrie naissant de la lingonne (également appelée pain de perdrix) à Terre-Neuve est en train de remporter la victoire contre le ver de la lingonne, insecte qui met sérieusement en danger les possibilités de commercialisation du fruit. Les scientifiques ont découvert une phéromone pour attirer et attraper ces insectes. Grâce à cette découverte, les producteurs pourront surveiller les ravageurs, et, qui sait, une nouvelle technologie de confusion sexuelle verra peut-être le jour.
