Precision agriculture is a form of agriculture that tends to optimize the quality and yield of a crop, using only the resources necessary for the analysis of environmental parameters. A field monitoring system using local sensors, reporting everything on satellite images, allows a better identification of the fertigation management mechanism. Knowledge of the data will allow us to take the appropriate actions at the right time at the right time.

 

The use of intelligent solutions, such as the Hydra Mote system developed by Maniola Smart Sensing for precision farming, offers several advantages:     

 

• Economic advantages, since each resource is used in the necessary quantities and only where it is actually needed     

• Productive advantages, since knowing the soil better and treating it properly, the harvest is improved     

• Environmental advantages, since it is possible to save important resources such as water and moderate the use of pesticides, chemicals and fertilizers
