Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Photon nose for monitoring crops 08.08.2022

Experts from two British universities are embarking on a new project to develop a photonic 'nose' to monitor crops for pests and plant diseases.

Aston University Birmingham is collaborating with Harper Adams University to research and develop technology to use light to monitor plant health. They will test the new technology on strawberries. After all, its berries are vulnerable to potato aphids, which can destroy the annual crop.

In general, with increasing pressure to find alternatives to pesticides due to environmental and human health concerns, one method is to use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to establish an early warning system. The point is to constantly make sure that insects and diseases do not accumulate on the plants, instead of spraying the plants with chemicals. However, there are doubts about the cost and reliability of this method.

The new project uses the latest developments in photonic technology that can analyze the low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plants that are indicative of their health status. Thus, by connecting machine learning hardware, artificial intelligence can be put into practice in a commercial setting.

Monitoring technologies for invertebrate pests and plant diseases can significantly reduce crop losses.

However, most electronic noses use electrochemical sensors, which have issues with sensitivity, sensor drift, or aging effects, and lack specificity. We intend to solve this problem by building on the fast-moving technology of photonics - the science of light - and collaborating with scientists from other disciplines," said Professor David Webb of the Aston Institute of Photonic Technology (AIPT).
