Precision-Farming-Technologien verfolgen das Ziel, heterogene Strukturen eines Feldes zu erfassen. Dazu sind Informationsdichten notwendig, die im Bereich der Bodenbeprobung mit herkömmlichen Verfahren nicht erreicht werden können. In diesem Beitrag wird das ökonomische Potenzial eines pH-Sensors aufgezeigt, dessen Düngeempfehlung von Kalk zu einer optimalen Entwicklung des pH-Wertes führt. Hek...

Precision phenotyping, especially the use of image analysis, allows researchers to gain information on plant properties and plant health. Aerial image detection with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provides new opportunities in precision farming and precision phenotyping. Precision farming has created a critical need for spatial data on plant density. The plant number reflects not only the fina...

The concept of Precision Dairy Farming is, to a crucial degree, based on data collection related to individual animals. In dairy farming, the amount of data per individual animal will increase. Thus, a particular meaning has the use of this data through decision support systems. A particular meaning has the use of this data through decision support system In the present article, the chosen exam...

Precision agriculture is defined as the observation, impact assessment, and the timely strategic response for remedy to minute variation in agricultural production [1]. Precision agriculture is applied in a wide range of agricultural activities such as crop production, dairy farming, horticulture, and forest management. Site-specific crop management (SSCM) is one important component of precisio...

This paper presents the design of a new wireless sensor node (GAIA Soil-Mote) for precision horticulture applications which permits the use of precision agricultural instruments based on the SDI-12 standard. Wireless communication is achieved with a transceiver compliant with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The GAIA Soil-Mote software implementation is based on TinyOS. A two-phase methodology was d...
