scholarly journals Design and Implementation of Agrobot with Automatic Sun Tracking

Advancement in recent technology introduces the agriculture robotics. These robots can be harvesting stage, pesticide spraying, weed control, automatic milking and many other applications. These robots can replace the human labor and improve the production rate. To meet up the future demands and to overcome the disadvantages of the traditional methods, a agrobot that can do seed sowing along with soil testing process with automatic sun tracking solar panel manner is proposed in this paper. The agrobot will move around various ground contours, digs the ground, sows the desired number of seeds and cover it with the soil. Then adequate content of water is poured in to the ground according the texture of ground. This agrobot also do the soil testing process and the results of solid testing process can be viewed in the mobile phones through GSM module. This paper gives the complete installation details of the agricultural robot. This proposed agrobot is able to sow the seed, monitors the soil fertility, moisture content along with the automatic sun tracking solar panel.

This agrobot also do the soil testing process and the results of soil testing process can be viewed in the mobile phones through Blynk Application. This paper gives the complete installation details of the agricultural robot. This proposed agrobot is able to sow the seed, monitors the soil temperature, moisture content along with the automatic sun tracking solar panel.

<p>One of the agricultural countries in the world is India, where 70 percent population depends on agriculture. Agriculture is a backbone of Indian Economy as the contribution of agriculture in India has high national income. While maintaining both the quality and quantity of the crops for future generations as well as the resources, the farmers met with the challenge of producing a sufficient amount of crops for the consumer demand. To meet up the future demands for food and to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional method, we have developed the seed sowing machine with automatic sun tracking solar panel and soil testing process in an automatic manner. The agrobot will move on various ground contours and it performs digging, sows the seed and covers it with the soil and an adequate content of water is added according to its texture. This project also spells out the soil testing process using LabVIEW and the results are displayed in the mobile phones using GSM module. It gives the complete installation of the agricultural robot. The method of sowing seeds with automatic sun tracking solar panel is somewhat different from the traditional seed sowing method. The main purpose of the GSM based Agrobot with automatic sun tracking solar panel is to sow the seeds and monitor the soil’s fertility as well as the moisture automatically.</p>

The presence of Pericopsis mooniana (Thw.) Thw. in nature is endangered. Meanwhile, Pericopsis mooniana plants have its obstacles in generative propagation because the seeds have mechanical dormancy. Studies carried out to: (1) observe the morphology of pods, seeds and sprouts of Pericopsis mooniana; (2) determine the physical quality of Pericopsis mooniana seeds, and (3) analyze the proper dormancy breaking treatment for Pericopsis mooniana seeds. Research is conducted in laboratories and in greenhouses. The physical quality of the seeds measured was the weight of 1,000 seeds and the moisture content. The treatment for breaking the dormancy of the Pericopsis mooniana seeds were control, scarification of the seeds using nail clippers and soaking in hot to cold water for 48 hours. Morphologically, the fruit of Pericopsis mooniana is pod-shaped, with orange seeds, oval-shaped and curved edges. Pericopsis mooniana sprouts include in the epigeal type. In 1 kg of weight there are ± 4,000 Pericopsis mooniana seeds, with the post harvest seed moisture content amounting to 7.62%. The dormancy breaking treatment of Pericopsis mooniana seeds increased seeds germination by 60% compared to controls. The scarification of Pericopsis mooniana seeds using nail clippers for breaking mechanical dormancy is the best treatment because it can increase the number of seeds germinating in a short time and simultaneously. Key words: breaking seed dormancy, morphology, Pericopsis mooniana, physical quality, seed scarificatio

In a semiarid Mediterranean site in central Spain, field experiments were conducted on a Calcic Haploxeralf (noncalcic brown soil), which had been managed with three crop rotations and two tillage systems (no-tillage and conventional tillage) since 1987. The crop rotations consisted of barley→vetch, barley→sunflower, and a barley monoculture. The study took place in two growing seasons (1992–1994) to assess the effects of management practices on the weed seedbank. During this period, spring weed control was not carried out in winter crops. In the no-tillage system, there was a significant increase in the number of seeds of different weed species: anacyclus, common purslane, corn poppy, knotted hedge-parsley, mouse-ear cress, spring whitlowgrass, tumble pigweed, venus-comb, andVeronica triphyllos.Conversely, the presence of prostrate knotweed and wild radish was highest in plots under conventional tillage. These results suggest large differences in the weed seedbank as a consequence of different soil conditions among tillage systems, but also the necessity of spring weed control when a no-tillage system is used. With regard to crop rotations, the number of seeds of knotted hedge-parsley, mouse-ear cress, and spring whitlowgrass was greater in the plots under the barley→vetch rotation. Common lambsquarters dominated in the plots under the barley→sunflower rotation, whereas venus-comb was the most frequent weed in the barley monoculture. Larger and more diverse weed populations developed in the barley→vetch rotation rather than in the barley→sunflower rotation or the barley monoculture.
