In the evolving landscape of agronomy, integrating technology with traditional practices offers unprecedented benefits. Precision agriculture, especially, is transforming the meticulous care of vines and orchards, allowing for smarter, more sustainable interventions. Georeferencing: More than Just a Location Marker Georeferencing does more than just pinpoint locations—it meticulously logs actions and quantities. – For example, in […]
Arable crops are, undoubtedly, of great economic and social importance for the EU, as half of the total area is used for cereal cultivation. Interestingly, in 2017 the EU produced 309.9 million tonnes of cereals (which is almost 11.9 % of the global harvest) like wheat, maize, barley, rye, and oats, but also rice. However, […]
Shoot thinning, or removal, is an essential practice in vineyard management. This process involves selectively removing some of the new growth (shoots) during the growing season. This is typically done in late spring or early summer, once the shoots have begun to grow but before they’ve become woody canes. BenefitsThe reasons for shoot thinning in […]
Apple tree is one of the most important crops due to the high nutritional value of the apples intended for human consumption. The apple tree cultivation is of high importance for farmers and especially for those who are in areas with very low temperatures, as in order to create apples of excellent quality it needs […]
Spot spraying is a new method. It is based on a concept that only the infected areas of the crop should be sprayed and not the whole field. This novelty can be implemented by having a modern sprayer, electronics and the target to spray in the crop. This last requirement is provided by the image […]
In agriculture, it is really difficult to precisely distinguish the diseases, the pests that have infected your crop, and also some nutrient deficiencies, because of the symptoms’ similarities, especially at the beginning of their emergence. This task, although it seems to be easy even for farmers and agronomists, has the possibility to cause serious problems […]
Computer vision can be fundamental in agriculture. It plays a key role in crop resistance against pests, diseases and nutrient deficiencies and provides a method of early prediction and control of plant enemies. Accurate detection of plant enemies leads to increase of productivity, prevents quality loss and decreases the use of plant protection products (PPPs). […]
