Abstract
The paper presents the results obtained in the SMART farm by using an advanced method of managing soil conservation works. These works involve, first of all, the collection and storage of data on the spot regarding the following parameters in which the plants will grow: disease climate (air temperature, dew point), growth climate (air temperature, solar radiation, deficiency vapours pressure, relative air humidity, precipitation, wind speed, maximum wind speed, daily evaporation) and soil monitoring (soil moisture, precipitation, soil salinity, soil temperature). Data collection is done through intelligent sensors from a wireless weather station and the reception of this information in real-time on a computer/smartphone by the farmer. Therefore, the farmer will be able to make instant decisions on soil conservation work, thusly saving time and workforce for additional on farm inspections.
Highlights
Farmers are increasingly determined to implement smart solutions where agricultural technologies are digitally monitored and each agricultural work is managed with the help of IT systems, applications specially developed for agricultural activity [6]
Wireless weather stations are important tools for monitoring the soil within a farm, as many of the problems related to agricultural activity can be solved by a better understanding of the surrounding weather conditions [7]
After the experimental tests performed with the technical equipment for soil conservation work, the following obtained results can be presented: - in terms of operation, the equipment has obtained qualitative work indices that are in accordance with the agro-technical requirements provided for working the soil in the arable substrate, in accordance with the standard in force
Summary
International agricultural research could make important contributions to increasing production and making the most rational use of existing resources [1]. The declining availability of agricultural land, ecological losses and environmental degradation are leading to the adoption and diffusion of digital agricultural technologies that contribute to the transformation of current agricultural systems towards sustainability [2], [3], [4], [5]. Farmers are increasingly determined to implement smart solutions where agricultural technologies are digitally monitored and each agricultural work is managed with the help of IT systems, applications specially developed for agricultural activity [6]. Among other things, real-time management of meteorological information on a farm to maximize agricultural production. The iMETOS 3.3 station is designed for all types of environmental conditions, has non-volatile memory, communicates and transmits real-time weather information via GSM [8]
