Precision Agriculture and IPM Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a long-term approach to pest control that stresses prevention, monitoring, and control through various tactics. Pest management has traditionally depended mainly […]
Enhancing Good Agricultural Practices with Weather and Soil Monitoring Weather conditions and soil moisture play a crucial role in agriculture, impacting pest infestations, disease infections, and crop health. In […]
How can vegetation indices be used to improve crop performance? Smart farming practices and precision agriculture have penetrated the agri-food system helping farmers produce and interpret important data related to […]
Technology is developing rapidly everywhere, including in beef and dairy cattle production. In fact, among all the livestock species, someone could argue that beef and dairy has been the most […]
Modern technology has been changing human lives for decades. Some of these technologies made their way to crop farming years ago as “precision ag” and are now showing up in […]
As climate change becomes more pronounced, consumers expect their daily food products – especially their animal proteins – to be produced in a sustainable and environmentally conscious manner. This means […]
Introduction Earth observation uses sensors to collect information about the Earth’s surface from a distance. The COALA project applies Earth Observation technologies to create precision agriculture methodologies to optimise crop […]
Technologies of precision farming Main satellite constellations, correction systems, and georeferencing The basis of precision agriculture systems in the field is the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), consisting of a […]
Introduction to Precision Agriculture The concept of precision agriculture (or precision farming) comes from the realization that the spatial variability distinctive to each field can be measured and managed with […]
The Importance of Mechanical Weeding in Pumpkin Cultivation Mechanical weeding is a common practice in pumpkin cultivation, and it plays a crucial role in ensuring healthy plant growth and high […]
