Abstract

In precision farming, identifying weeds is an essential first step in planning an integrated pest management program in cereals. By knowing the species present, we can learn about the types of herbicides to use to control them, especially in non-weeding crops where mechanical methods that are not effective (tillage, hand weeding, and hoeing and mowing). Therefore, using the deep learning based on convolutional neural network (CNN) will help to automatically identify weeds and then an intelligent system comes to achieve a localized spraying of the herbicides avoiding their large-scale use, preserving the environment. In this article we propose a smart system based on object detection models, implemented on a Raspberry, seek to identify the presence of relevant objects (weeds) in an area (wheat crop) in real time and classify those objects for decision support including spot spray with a chosen herbicide in accordance to the weed detected.

Abstract

Due to the spead of objects connected to the internet and objects connected to each other, agriculture nowadays knows a huge volume of data exchanged called big data. Therefore, this paper discusses connected agriculture or agriculture 4.0 instead of a traditional one. As irrigation is one of the foremost challenges in agriculture, it is also moved from manual watering towards smart watering based on big data analytics where the farmer can water crops regularly and without wastage even remotely. The method used in this paper combines big data, remote sensing and data mining algorithms (neural network and support vector machine). In this paper, we are interfacing the databricks platform based on the apache Spark tool for using machine learning to predict the soil drought based on detecting the soil moisture and temperature.

Abstract

Big data in agriculture is defined as massive volumes of data with a wide variety of sources and types which can be captured using internet of things sensors (soil and crops sensors, drones, and meteorological stations), analyzed and used for decision-making. In the era of internet of things (IoT) tools, connected agriculture has appeared. Big data outputs can be exploited by the future connected agriculture in order to reduce cost and time production, improve yield, develop new products, offer optimization and smart decision-making. In this article, we propose a functional framework to model the decision-making process in digital and connected agriculture.

Abstract

Agriculture in the region of Beni Mellal-Khenifra, Morocco relies on irrigation from rain and dams, but recently there has been a lack of precipitation which may negatively affect crop growth. This has made accurate precipitation forecasts even more important for farmers, as they need this information to make informed decisions about their crops. However, a lack of data-driven research utilizing past data presents a challenge for the development of such research and leaves farmers relying solely on weather forecasts from TV, which cannot relied upon in systems such as irrigation. The objective of this paper is to propose various approaches for forecasting precipitation in the region of Beni Mellal-Khenifra using big data analytics and machine learning techniques. The study made use of Apache Spark, a big data analytics tool, and five machine-learning algorithms: Lasso regression, ridge regression, elastic net, auto regressive integrated moving average, and random forest. These algorithms were applied on dataset of daily rainfall from 2000 to 2015 to forecast the amount of precipitation in the region. The results of the study showed that the random forest algorithm had the lowest mean absolute error, making it the most effective at forecasting precipitation in the region.
