We could divide latest technology solutions in agriculture to solutions for the greenhouse and for the outdoor agriculture production.
Greenhouse production stand out with solutions that increases productivity per sqr meter, such as:
-Robotic solutions and devices, used in car industry (sorting pots, planting seedlings, )
-Smart greenhouses, with multiple elements, computer guided controllers of humidity, the amount of light, temperature, etc.
-New materials for greenhouses (new generation of glass, self-shading and better light transmission)
-Cooling devices based on heat pumps, etc.
Outdoor solutions:
-New generation of irrigation systems
-GPS controlled machinery
-Plant breeding, creating new and better varieties, etc.
When this new solutions transfers into production, it creates less sensitive plants and products, and thanks to that prevents very large number of problems with production.
I heard about a new technology Crop sensors and it quite interesting. It's able to see how much fertilizer a plant may need based on the amount of light reflected back to the sensor then tell application equipment how much to apply in real time.
It's new and quite expensive I believe but it can help farmers apply fertilizer in a very effective manner, maximizing uptake and reducing potential leaching and runoff into ground water.
In latent technology drip irrigation and sprinkle irrigation method is suitable and profitable method of irrigation to survive water, because in middle east countries much of the land consists of Range, barren or desert land. beside it another amazing technique is crop sensings. it quite interesting. It's able to see how much fertilizer a plant may need based on the amount of light reflected back to the sensor then tell application equipment how much to apply in real time.
But now this time its expensiveI, but it can help farmers apply fertilizer in a very effective manner, maximizing uptake and reducing potential leaching and runoff into ground water.
EMERGING TECHNOLOGY IS THE LATEST TREND OF TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS
Tillage technology for better soil preparation for crop production..like as rotavator
Drones are the latest technology according to the 2018 "the self navigation plane " ,which can used for reduce humane capture pictures for field from one screen which is managed by one moderator for hectars of feddans or crops then he can using lasers sensors from his office for irrigation or harvest or praying with any pesicides,not also using laser for prepare seeds bed or fields,protective cultivation such as green house,tunnel,computerized irrigation or agricultural harvest or IPM integertaed.
Gene editing techniques CRISPR/CAS9 a zinc finger protein that can edit and cut the specific pairs of genes and allelic interaction and then transfer the host plant that can help to improve the production, quantity as well as quality of the crops. Other modern approches like Next generation sequencing along with improved molecular breeding techniques also improved the desired traits acorrding to the environmetnal condition and crops can withstand under biotic and abiotic conditions.
In my opinion farmer should be adopt hitech farming like poly house, drip irrigation with fruit and vegitable faming
I would like to explain to you that I'm a Bachelor of agricultural science.
But I haven't worked in only a few period of time my qualification.
And most if not all experiences are limited in hypermarkets.
no one can deny that technology plays a main part in agriculture auto guidance is kind of the new and smart technology used in agriculture field, the benefit of auto guidance are to improve productivity in every condition like fogy dusty rainy windy and dark condition increase operator's comfort environment protection by reducing inputs such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides reduce soil compaction driver can concentrate on task being carried out reduce fuel and time and low labor another kind of technology is used in irrigation field called smart irrigation technologies include eveputranspiration ET based controller ans soil moisture sensor SMS controllers and rain sensors too they all used to management and reduce irrigation water, there are a new kind called Nano technology in agriculture field
Use of remote sensing & GIS techniques in the field of agriculture will help to carry on precision agriculture.
