The Pak Phanang River Basin used to be an important rice growing area in southern Thailand. However, the environmental changes in the area decreased the rice planting there because of a lack of fresh water and salt water intrusion. This area was selected as one of the King of Thailand's initiative projects in 1978 to restore land fertility, improve food security, and increase the quality of the life...
The paper presents a critical issue to establish a complete ecological compensation mechanism in order to develop and actualize the function of agricultural carbon sink, which is analyzed with the potential capacity of carbon emission reduction. A strategy is put forward to improve the mechanism of ecological compensation to agricultural carbon sink.
In the growth of Information T echnology, Big data come forth as a blazing topic. The main source of human survival depends on agriculture; where it needs a key contribution in the field of crop data analysis. This paper gives a purpose about how to find experiences from accuracy agriculture information through big data approach. In this way, gathering the valuable data in an effective way drives...
India has 1.4 million square-kilometers of land under cultivation and only about 39 percent is irrigated and other 61 percent is fully dependent on rain and if rain fails or gets delayed, crops fail driving debt ridden farmers to suicide. Agricultural output of India is the second largest in the world and India is second largest producer of cotton and one of the largest exporters of cotton in the...
Transformation of nonelectrical quantities into the electrical ones, using smart transducers, followed by further processing, communication and storage of information have opened many new avenues of process automation. Recent advancements in the field of sensor, actuator and data communication technologies have revolutionized human life in many ways Food Production and Agro-ecological resource management...
Data mining is the process of identifying the hidden patterns from large and complex data. It may provide crucial role in decision making for complex agricultural problems. Data visualisation is also equally important to understand the general trends of the effect of various factors influencing the crop yield. The present study examines the application of data visualisation techniques to find correlations...
About half of the population of India depends on agriculture for its livelihood, but its contribution towards the GDP of India is only 14 per cent. One possible reason for this is the lack of adequate crop planning by farmers. There is no system in place to advise farmers what crops to grow. In this paper we present an attempt to predict crop yield and price that a farmer can obtain from his land,...
Agricultural Information System is an integrated system that the data is recorded, reported and outcomes are observed in Turkish Agriculture. Agricultural Information System is an informative system, which gathers all data, information and processes belonging to all agricultural activities due to the activity types, which provides follow-up, processes of institutional assignment and inspection and...
In this paper we have proposed a system that will be able to analyze the Optimum Crop Cultivation of Bangladesh based on the knowledge of Neuro-Fuzzy System (NFS). The Neuro-fuzzy system is the collection of two techniques: fuzzy logic and the neural network. The system can compute the yield of a certain crop by using the value of humidity, temperature and rainfall. By using this system farmer will...
This paper presents an approach to explicitly determinate optimal stocking rates based on trade-offs between guanaco density and livestock grazing intensity on rangelands of Patagonia, Argentina. As sheep farming becomes less profitable in this region, farmers and ranchers need to focus on sustainable wildlife harvesting as alternative income generation. We developed a methodology for spatially-explicit...
Agricultural crop production depends on various factors such as biology, climate, economy and geography. Several factors have different impacts on agriculture, which can be quantified using appropriate statistical methodologies. Applying such methodologies and techniques on historical yield of crops, it is possible to obtain information or knowledge which can be helpful to farmers and government organizations...
The paper intends to define the future agricultural enterprise as a complex system, based on the sustainability concept, and to propose a control approach ensuring its proactivity versus environmental and market changes, based on agent-oriented behavior and Cyber-Physical Systems.
Continuous cropping without adequate measurement and provisioning of soil nutrient may endanger the sustainability of agriculture. Soil nutrient measurement is greatly required for proper plant growth and effective fertilization. Existing methods of soil testing are costly and time consuming. In this paper, we have developed a sensing system using high precision, wide spectral range Photo Diode (PD),...
Is widely accepted that food supply and quality are major problems in the 21st century. Due to the growth of the world's population, there is a pressing need to improve the productivity of agricultural crops, which hinges on different factors such as geographical location, soil type, weather condition and particular attributes of the crops to plant. In many regions of the world, information about...
Chinese torreya (T. grandis ‘Merrillii’), an evergreen coniferous tree mostly distributed in the mountainous areas of southern China, has a distinct economic potential. However, the planting distribution of torreya crop is not optimal and the torreya production and cultivation are restricted by regional environment conditions. In this study, a GIS-based fuzzy model combined with the principal of hierarchy...
Wireless sensor networks (WSN's) are being widely used to monitor various environmental and physical phenomena related parameters. WSN's are being used in various diversified fields. Agriculture and farming industry have been showing considerable interest in this technology in order to enhance productivity and be able to produce uniform quality yield, thereby enhancing profitability. India is one...
The final goal of this paper is to assess the sustainability of electricity production from wheat straw grown in Spain and burned in 25 MWe power plant. For that purpose a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the system was performed. To implement the LCA, inventory data for the agricultural, the transport and the transformation phases were collected considering their most common values and ranges of variability...
The core and foundation of the Internet of things is the Internet, but the client not only confined to the personal computer, but also extends to any items which need real-time management. For the people can not make scientific management in the agricultural production process currently, consumers find it difficult to express their views on agricultural production and farmers own lack of ways to improve...
Farming sector in India is highly un-organized, most of the systems followed are passed down through generations. We follow the extensive farming model which has low yield per hectare compared to intensive farming methods adopted by various western countries. To change this system we need experts with practical knowledge of farming, unfortunately we do not have that many personals and most experts...
Analysis on tree growth data and survival rate from a 6-year old Karas agroforestry plantations in Rembau, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia is reported in this paper. Three agroforestry components involved in this study include: (1) Karas monoculture, (2) Karas intercropped with lemongrass, and (3) Karas intercropped with guava. Three replicative plots measuring at 6 rows × 5 column of trees were established...
