In the context of increasing global population and climate change, modern agriculture must enhance production efficiency. Vegetables is crucial for human nutrition has a significant environmental impact. To address this challenge, agricultural sector needs to modernize utilize advanced technologies such as drones increase productivity, improve quality, reduce resource consumption. These devices, known Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), with their agility versatility play role in monitoring...

The aim of this systematic review was to point out the current state precision beekeeping and draw implications for future studies. Precision is defined as an apiary management strategy based on monitoring individual bee colonies minimize resource consumption maximize productivity. This subject that has met with a growing interest from researchers in recent years because its environmental implications. Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) selected conduct...

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) allow the determination of 3D position a point on Earth’s surface by measuring distance from receiver antenna to orbital at least four satellites. Selecting and buying GNSS receiver, depending farm needs, is first step for implementing precision agriculture. The aim this work compare positioning accuracy receivers, different technical features working modes: L1/L2 frequency survey-grade Real-Time Kinematic (RTK)-capable Stonex S7-G (S7); L1...

Accurate, timely assessment of the vineyard on a field scale is essential for successful grape yield and quality. Remote sensing can be an effective useful monitoring tool, as data from sensors board Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) measure vegetative reproductive growth thus directly or indirectly detect variability. Through images obtained UAV, Vegetation Indices (VIs) calculated compared with various agronomic characteristics vineyard. The objective this study was to evaluate multispectral...

Olive tree growing (Olea europaea L.) has considerably increased in the last decades, as consumption of extra virgin olive oil world. Precision agriculture is increasingly being applied orchards a new method to manage agronomic variability with aim providing individual plants right input amount, limiting waste or excess. The objective this study was develop methodology on GIS platform using GEOBIA algorithms order build prescription maps for variable rate (VRT) nitrogen fertilizers...

Precision beekeeping or precision apiculture is an apiary management strategy based on the monitoring of individual bee colonies to minimize resource consumption and maximize productivity bees. Bees play a fundamental role in ensuring pollination; they can also be considered as indicators state pollution are used bio monitors. Beekeeping needs continuous animals benefit from advanced intelligent ambiance technologies. The aim this study was design system (PAS) platform for controlling...

Precision agriculture is a management strategy to improve resource efficiency, production, quality, profitability and sustainability of the crops. In recent years, olive tree increasingly focused on determining correct health status plants in order distribute main using different technologies. grove, focus often use multispectral information from UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), but it not known how important spectral biometric actually for agronomic grove. The aim this study was investigate...

Abstract Within the Mediterranean basin, soil tillage enhances mineralisation of organic matter. We assessed short‐term impact shallow [field cultivator (FC), rotary tiller (RT) and spading machine (SM)] on some quality indicators [bulk density, water‐stable aggregates, total labile C pools (microbial biomass extractable C), respiration related eco‐physiological indexes] in a Sicilian vineyard. Also no was included. hypothesized that (i) RT FC worsened more than SM, (ii) within same system,...

Remote and proximal sensing platforms at the service of precision olive growing are bringing new development possibilities to sector. A platform is close vegetation, while a remote platform, such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), more distant but has advantage rapidity investigate plots. The study aims compare multispectral hyperspectral data acquired with platforms. comparison between two sensors understanding different responses their use can provide on crop, trees having complex canopy....

The uses of precision oliviculture have increased in recent years to improve the quality and quantity extra virgin olive oil. In traditional intensive systems, biennial pruning is often applied balance maintain plant vigour, aiming at reducing management costs. This study presents results a three-year experiment with objective quantifying effects on vegetative vigour trees, investigating geometric spectral characteristics each canopy determined multispectral images acquired by UAV. was...

Time-domain reflectometry (TDR) based on instruments are commonly used for several monitoring methods, particularly in soil moisture and volumetric water-content evaluation. Furthermore, significant advantages of TDR methodology, mostly related to the possible determination real-time a nondestructive approach spatial location nature various objects, make this technique an appealing candidate variety environmental industrial applications. In paper, we show that suitable combination...
