Abstract
Eco-friendly and effective method of white grub control is needed to reduce the impact of pesticide on the environment and the cost of control. The use of nematode as a biological agent to control larvae under soil was positive. The challenge is about the accuracy in time, location and amount of biological control agent required for control at initial infestation of the harmful insects, to reduce the damage the use of wireless sensor network (WSN) is required. Work carried out, sent at a threshold value of CO2 under the soil determine from lab to greenhouse to open field experiments. Initial stage detection of these insects life cycle is required for accurate time and location for control of these insect pests for resource effectiveness. This location can be communicated to a mobile phone via Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) with Global Packet Radio Service modules (GPRS). Next challenge is to quantify the CO2 level from the white grubs as part of soil respiration, and to estimate their population. The farmers could be trained as listeners to survey for acoustic evidence of insects and to identify them by distinctive spectral and temporal pattern. Acoustic detection can be used to estimate the population of white grubs. A hypothesis of 90% success of the combination of CO2 burstsensing from white grubs (GMM221 sensor) as a generic signal with volatile compound as a specific signal from plant roots under insect attack and using Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) is considered. In the future, a universal sensor is to be developed for high accuracy with LabVIEW monitoring interface.
Highlights
The excessive use of pesticides for control of pest results in health hazards, in view with several disadvantages of unscientific use of it, there is need to reduce or stop its use with public concern over low yield and high cost of production by other alternatives
A challenge for the effective way of control of these harmful insects in the field, the challenge is about the accuracy in time, location and amount of biological control agent required for control at initial infestation of the harmful insects, to reduce the damage.The issue of water, soil and pest can be solved by wireless sensor network (WSN) to increase profit, productivity and efficiency in agriculture
Acoustic system with a soil microphone will be inserted in the ground and sound frequency pattern will be displayed by the help of Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW), continuously monitored to observe the temporal pattern of the sound to indicate the likelihood of white grub infestation
Summary
The excessive use of pesticides for control of pest results in health hazards (pollution), in view with several disadvantages of unscientific use of it, there is need to reduce or stop its use with public concern over low yield and high cost of production by other alternatives. The main aim of this research is to detect the white grub infestation problem using wireless sensor network (WSN) technology in modern day practice in agriculture with electronics systems. The end result of this research will assist farmer in detection of white grub at early stage to reduce damage. A challenge for the effective way of control of these harmful insects in the field, the challenge is about the accuracy in time, location and amount of biological control agent required for control at initial infestation of the harmful insects, to reduce the damage.The issue of water, soil and pest can be solved by WSN (automatic monitoring) to increase profit, productivity and efficiency in agriculture. This research survey will show the aspect and extend to which acoustic technique is utilized for insect pest above or under the soil and the proposed concept of WSN with labview monitoring interface. Spectral patterns are examined as a template [3]
