PRECISION AGRICULTURE

Precision agriculture (PA) is a modern agricultural management concept that uses digital techniques to monitor and optimize agricultural production processes. Rather than applying the same amount of fertilizer to the whole field or feeding the animal herd with the same amount of feed, the PA concept proposes measuring the difference in conditions (humidity, soil composition, etc.) within the field, or estimate the difference in individual animal needs and adapt the fertilization, harvesting strategy or optimize feeding for each animal accordingly. PA methods are based mainly on a combination of new sensor technologies, satellite navigation and positioning technologies, and the Internet of things. For example, the UAV field scanning method with a multi-spectral camera is widely used to estimate the green density of the land. The data from such a scan is used to obtain the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). This is a dimensionless index that describes the difference between the reflectance of vegetation cover in the visible and near infrared ranges and can be used to estimate the density of greenery on piece of land. PA is designed to increase the quantity and quality of agricultural products with less use of resources (water, energy, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.)

The purpose of multispectral analysis in agriculture is to improve the efficiency and health of plants in hard-to-reach areas of the earth. Regular analysis of NDVI helps to track changes in agriculture, as well as to monitor land fertility. It also describes vegetation density, which allows botanists to evaluate plant germination and growth status, as well as soil productivity.

 MAPPING AGRICULTURAL FIELDS WITH THE HELP OF UAV:

  • Creation of electronic field maps;
  • Conducting an inventory and mapping of agricultural fields;
  • Determining the scope of work and monitoring their implementation;
  • Quality control of the ploughing;
  • Environmental monitoring of agricultural fields;
  • NDVI (Normalized difference vegetative index) analysis;
  • Etching;
  • Harvest Optimization.

AGRICULTURAL MINI TRACTORS

Today it is difficult to imagine work in agriculture without using of special machines. Tractors are able to perform a variety of tasks in different road conditions, so they are used not only in agriculture, but also for communal purposes, on construction areas, on farms, in forestry.

With the development of technologies for agriculture, increased productivity, a decrease in the average land area per farmer and a growing trend towards specialized farms becoming agricultural complexes, the demand for small, Multifunctional and mobile machines made possible by their compact size the general name «minitractor».

IDRAK Technology Transfer can offer a wide range of mini tractors with the following specifications:

  • Engine displacement 441 cm³, 815 cm³, 993 cm³, 441 cm³, 1490 cm³, 1532 cm³;
  • Engine power: 13h.p. /15h.p. / 16h.p. / 22 h.p. /24 h.p. / 32 h.p.;
  • Fuel tank volume: 6l/ 8l/ 17l/ 18l/ 25l/ 35l;
  • Drive type – Rear wheel drive – All wheel drive;
  • Maximum speed is 15 km/h, 17 km/h, 22 km/h, 23 km/h, 25 km/h, 27 km/h, 40 km/h.

COLD FOG

The «BrumeID» Cold Fog Generator developed by IDRAK Technology Transfer is one of the most modern and effective devices for combating bacteria, insect pests, treating plants and horticultural crops, distributing fertilizers over long distances in greenhouses and outdoors.

Scope of application:

  • Agriculture and livestock farms;
  • Industrial enterprises, warehouses, storage facilities;
  • Offices and entrances of multi-apartment residential buildings;
  • Apartments, houses, cottages;
  • Cars and public transport.

Types of cold fog treatment:

  • With the help of correctly selected disinfectants, you can destroy or significantly reduce the number of microbes, spores, fungi, molds that cause diseases of animals and people;
  • With the help of cold fog generators, it is possible to vaccinate birds and animals by aerosol method and gas in an incubator;
  • The dispersed particles are characterized by a temperature similar to the environment. The cloud is not warmed up during the spraying process, and the drops have a size of about 30-100 microns. On average, they stay in the air for up to four hours.

Advantages of cold fog

  • The method works more efficiently than conventional sprayers, since the particles of the solution passing through the generator have a smaller diameter, and as a result, excellent penetrating power and settle in hard-to-reach places, destroying pests. Drops of cold fog settle rather slowly and process the space more efficiently;
  • There is a complete destruction of pests and parasites, as well as clutches of their eggs and larvae.

Principle of operation:

BrumeID cold fog generators work according to different principles, depending on the application scenarios. Ultrasound technology breaks the working solution into droplets using ultrasound, the electrically driven technology generates fog by injecting the working solution into an air jet pumped from outside by a compressor.

NDVI (NORMALIZED DIFFERENCE VEGETATIVE INDEX) ANALYSIS

It is possible to study the level of vegetation health in crop fields using a map with different shades of colors corresponding to the NDVI distribution.

ETCHING

The UAV can spray pesticides on certain areas of the crop field depending on the results of the NDVI analysis or for preventive purposes. This method helps to save time and money for processing plants.

MONITORING

The UAV can prevent and eliminate potential risks by regularly monitoring agricultural land.

AGROROBOT

An agrorobot is a robot that is used to automate processes in agriculture such as irrigation; spraying of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides; weed removal, etc.

OPTIMIZING GROWING AND HARVESTING

During cultivation and harvesting, the Agrorobot can move around the field at coordinates received from the operator or in standalone mode. In standalone mode, the coordinates are transmitted to the robot from the Intelligent Agriculture System server. Data from video and multispectral cameras mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles and the robots themselves are transmitted to the computing center. As a result of their processing, appropriate maps of the distribution of indicators (for example, the Normalized Delta Germination Index) on the ground are created. According to the maps, a work plan is created on which the operations envisaged for the execution of the Robot are tied to the coordinates on the ground.

PROCESSES THAT CAN BE AUTOMATED USING AGROROBOTS:

  • Having planted the seeds;
  • Application of fertilizers;
  • Treatment with pesticides, insecticides, etc;
  • Cultivation;
  • Monitoring;
  • Weeding;
  • Harvesting.

OZONE IN PLANTPRODUCTION

Ozone in plant production

IDRAK Technology Transfer has developed the GrOwerID technology, which allows you to fight pests and plant diseases without using of herbicides and pesticides.

Specificity

Using of ozone in plant production is explained, firstly, by the very high oxidative capacity of ozone (only fluorine will be stronger), and secondly by its ubiquitous availability (produced from oxygen air).

Ozone allows you to achieve the desired result without using of various chemicals, the residual trace of which cannot be eliminated from the final product, which reduces its value or does not at all unusable.

Application:

  • To control plant pests and diseases and reduce the use of herbicides and pesticides;
  • It is also used to enrich the soil;
  • Spraying with ozonated water destroys harmful bacteria in the ground and oxygenates the soil.
