The paper presents combination of new approaches and technologies in modern-day agriculture. Perspectives and benefits of usage of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in different spheres of agriculture considered on the base of spraying drone project called “AeroDrone”.
A study was conducted on the adsorption kinetics of diuron from aqueous solutions onto activated carbon fiber. The results showed that the formation of hydrogen bonds between diuron and water, and temperature variations may possibly affect the adsorption process. Furthermore, adsorption of diuron onto activated carbon fiber was affected remarkably by solution pH and the maximum adsorption amount was...
The worldwide problem of environmental pollution caused by excessive use of herbicides and the increasing cost of chemicals necessitates finding alternative methods for crop protection. In order to reduce the quantities of herbicides applied to fields, we propose to exploit the advantages of image processing to automatically detect and localize the crops and to remove all other undesired plants growing...
A weed can be thought of as any plant growing in the wrong place at the wrong time and doing more harm than good. Weeds compete with the crop for water, light, nutrients and space, and therefore reduce crop yields and also affect the efficient use of machinery. The most widely used method for weed control is to use agricultural chemicals (herbicides and fertilizer products). This heavy reliance on...
One important objective in precision agriculture is to minimize the volume of herbicides that are applied to the fields through the use of site-specific weed management systems. In order to reach this goal, two major factors need to be considered: 1) the similar spectral signature, shape and texture between weeds and crops; 2) the irregular distribution of the weeds within the crop's field. This paper...
