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 ... >>

The chicken's speech is deciphered 26.09.2023

Scientists from the University of Tokyo have achieved a breakthrough in understanding the emotional states of chickens, thanks to the use of artificial intelligence. This scientific breakthrough, which can accurately detect birds' emotions with 80% accuracy, provides farmers with valuable information about the health of their pets.

Experts say that using sound analysis technology, they can decipher six different emotional states in chickens, including hunger, fear, anger, satisfaction, excitement and stress. The results of this study were published in the journal Research Square and provide details of the team's scientific findings.

"This is a huge achievement for science," says Professor Adrian Cheok. "And this is just the beginning. We hope to adapt these artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to other animal species, creating the basis for a deeper understanding and interaction with the animal kingdom. Knowing the emotions of animals will help us create more caring environments for them."

Professor Cheok and his team collaborated with a group of eight animal psychologists and veterinary surgeons who shared their experience and knowledge of emotional expression in chickens. Together they analyzed sound recordings from 80 birds, covering more than 200 hours of audio material. Scientists trained artificial intelligence by providing it with 100 hours of recordings of emotion classifications for training. Then, using the remaining 100 hours of audio recordings, the artificial intelligence achieved 80% accuracy in determining the chickens' emotional states based on previous experience.

The next step for Professor Cheok and his team will be to develop a free app that will allow farmers to use this innovative technology to analyze the emotions and health of their poultry flocks.
