10. Autopilot Tractors
● Trimble's AgGPS Autopilot - a new system that automatically steers
tractors to within inches for row-crop applications.
● The driver, with hands-free operation, can now concentrate on
working the implements for listing, bed preparation, planting and
cultivating.
● Trimble's AgGPS Autopilot system easily connects to the tractor's
power steering hydraulic system to automatically steer it in straight
rows - pass after pass. A field computer inside the cab allows the
operator to select field patterns and display operating parameters. A
lightbar is used to guide the tractor on path at the beginning of a row.
Once on a row, the driver engages the AgGPS Autopilot system to
perform and oversee field operations.

11. ● At the heart of the system is a high-performance Trimble GPS
navigation controller. Attached to the controller is an AgGPS 214
Real-Time Kinematic receiver, in-cab terminal, lightbar and AgGPS 70
Remote Display and Logger.
● The first generation AgGPS Autopilot system is targeted for high
value row crops such as vegetables and cotton.

12. ● Drones to help Rajasthan, Gujarat farmers detect crop diseases
● Remote sensing through unmanned aerial vehicles allows non destructive sampling to
observe agronomic indicators every square metre.
● The technology has been in use in the United States and other developed countries to
map crop position, control farm subsidies, detect pests, monitor nutritional and water
stress on crops, and even spray fertilizer and pesticides on crops.
●
Skymet, along with the AIC and Gujarat government, used satellite remote sensing
technologies and drones across 10 villages in Morbi district of Gujarat last year.
● The automatic and remote controlled UAVs cover 5 sq km in a single flight, with
generally two flights (missions) per day. UAVs send images every five seconds and
provide geo referenced images.

13. Technologies using
● vertical farming help save space on the ground by growing the crops
vertically while drip irrigation saves almost 90 percent of water. These
methods are revolutionary
● protective agricultureis expensive as it requires greenhouses and
poly-houses.

14. ● Building on GPS technology are swath control and VRT.
● Swath control is:The farmer is controlling the size of the swath a
given piece of equipment takes through the field
● Swath control shuts off sections of the applicator as it enters the
overlap area, saving the farmer from applying twice the inputs on the
same piece of ground.
● VRT-variable rate technology :Based on production history and soil
tests a farmer can build a prescription GPS map for an input. By
knowing what areas of a field are most and least productive the
application rate of an input like fertilizer can be tailored to increase or
decrease automatically at the appropriate time.

15. ● Precision agriculture:one way to increase the quality n quantity of agriproduction
is using sensing technology ,make farm more intelligent and more connected through
precision agriculture called smart farming
● Precision agriculture (PA) or satellite farming or site specific crop management (SSCM) is a
farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and
intra-field variability in crops.
● Precision agriculture uses technology on agricultural equipment (e.g. tractors, sprayers,
harvestors, etc.)
positioning system (e.g. GPS receivers that use satellite signals to precisely determine a
position on the globe);
geographic information systems (GIS), i.e., software that makes sense of all the available
data;
variable-rate farming equipment (seeder, spreader).

16. A XBEE based WSN with GSM Technology to Monitor
Paddy Field Environment
● a wireless sensor network is built by deploying various sensors as
network nodes to monitor various factors such as temperature,
humidity, pH levels and water levels.
● Zigbee technology such that the sensor network is monitored by a
person in front of server computer by analysing the data also the
personal computer will send GS short message to absent manager’s
mobile phone by using GSM technology and AT commands.

17. ● it can conserve water and power. By using wireless technology and
advanced processors monitoring of various sensors is possible.
● farmers can decide amount of fertilization is needed for a particular
field by observing recorded data from pH sensors.
● Water consumption is minimized by controlling motor (using relay
circuit) wirelessly with help of sensed data from water level sensors.

18. Global market leaders
●

● SAA is the leading provider of market data on China's thriving modern agricultural
technologies market, delivering high-yield data via our information platform, SAAdata.
● Using a combination of automated technologies and human curation, their localized team of
analysts and researchers organizes key data points into SAAdata's easy-to-use, bilingual
interface, allowing multinational, multilingual teams to work more efficiently.
● Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is a food production and distribution system that
directly connects farmers and consumers. In short: people buy "shares" of a farm's harvest
in advance and then receive a portion of the crops as they're harvested.
● The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) leads international
efforts to defeat hunger and provides a forum for the negotiation of global agricultural
regulations and agreements.

22. R&D efforts..
One way to increase the quality and quantity of agriproduction is using
sensing technology ,make farm more intelligent and more connected
through precision agriculture(PA)called smart farming

23. Below are technologies related to agricultural and natural manufacturing
under four key areas of accelerating change:
Sensors,
Food,
Automation
and
Engineering.

24. ●Air & soil sensors: Fundamental additions to the automated farm, these
sensors would enable a real time understanding of current farm, forest or
body of water conditions.
Scientifically viable in 2013; mainstream and financially viable in 2015.
●Equipment telematics: Allows mechanical devices such as tractors to
warn mechanics that a failure is likely to occur soon. Intra-tractor
communication can be used as a rudimentary "farm swarm" platform.
Scientifically viable in 2013; mainstream in 2016; and financially viable in
2017.
●Livestock biometrics: Collars with GPS, RFID and biometrics can
automatically identify and relay vital information about the livestock in
real time.
Scientifically viable in 2017; mainstream and financially viable in 2020.

25. ●
Crop sensors: Instead of prescribing field fertilization before application, high-resolution crop
sensors inform application equipment of correct amounts needed. Optical sensors or drones are
able to identify crop health across the field (for example, by using infra-red light).
Scientifically viable in 2015; mainstream in 2018; and financially viable in 2019.
● Infrastructural health sensors: Can be used for monitoring vibrations and material conditions in
buildings, bridges, factories, farms and other infrastructure. Coupled with an intelligent network,
such sensors could feed crucial information back to maintenance crews or robots.
Scientifically viable in 2021; mainstream in 2025; and financially viable in 2027.
● Precision agriculture: Farming management based on observing (and responding to) intra-field
variations. With satellite imagery and advanced sensors, farmers can optimize returns on inputs
while preserving resources at ever larger scales. Further understanding of crop variability,
geolocated weather data and precise sensors should allow improved automated decision-making
and complementary planting techniques.
Scientifically viable in 2019; mainstream in 2023; and financially viable in 2024.

26. ● Genetically designed food-The creation of entirely new strains of food
animals and plants in order to better address biological and
physiological needs. A departure from genetically modified food,
genetically designed food would be engineered from the ground up.
Scientifically viable in 2016; mainstream in 2021; and financially
viable in 2022
● In vitro meat: Also known as cultured meat or tubesteak, it is a flesh
product that has never been part of a complete, living animal.
● Agricultural robots: Also known as agbots, these are used to
automate agricultural processes, such as harvesting, fruit picking,
ploughing, soil maintenance, weeding, planting, irrigation, etc.

27. Agricultural policies
● Agricultural policy is the set of government decisions and actions relating
to domestic agriculture and imports of foreign agricultural products.
● The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) leads
international efforts to defeat hunger and provides a forum for the
negotiation of global agricultural regulations and agreements
● It includes policies related to climate change, food safety and natural
disasters, economic stability, natural resources and environmental
sustainability (especially water policy), research and development, and
market access for domestic commodities (including relations with global
organizations and agreements with other countries).
● Agricultural policy can also touch on food quality, ensuring that the food
supply is of a consistent and known quality, food security, ensuring that
the food supply meets the population's needs, and conservation.

28. Govt of India policies.....
● BISA-CIMMYT catalysing policy makers to promote climate smart agriculture practices in
Bihar
● Walamtari is a government organisation in Hyderabad serving farmers of both Telangana
and Andhra Pradesh States,they use sensing Technology.
● precision agriculture already exists on limited scale in India where few agencies do the
wheat harvesting using combines and spraying of crops.
● NICRA(National Initiative on Climate Resilient Agriculture )is a network project of the
Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) launched in February, 2011. The project
is formulated to take up long term strategic research to address the impacts of projected
climate change on Indian agriculture
● and also demonstrate the existing best bet practices to enable farmers cope with current
climate variability.
