Challenges in Drone Technology
Drone technology continues to advance depending on specific applications. For this article, we'll be looking at compact drones used in a variety of applications that need continuous and autonomous inspection of chimneys, shafts, and tanks.
LED Grow Lights: The Best Start for Seedlings
How important is it for tender new seedlings to germinate under a grow light? Plants typically grow faster, taller and denser with consistent illumination - but not all light bulbs nurture your plants equally.
Fully Automatic Robot for Sowing and Weed Control
We need to focus more on autonomous machines in agriculture - what machines are on the market, what are the advantages and why farmers should adopt this technology. The awareness has already improved the recent years, but we need to do better.
Agriculture + Solar, the Perfect Pair for Modern Farming
The 21st century has ushered in the era of commercial renewable energy. On each project, owners, end-users, developers, and subcontractors explore numerous options to maximize the efficiency of each plot of land.
Top 5 Tips for Rolling Out Robots
The 2023 landscape season is officially underway! A handful of Scythe partners in Texas and Florida recently began mowing with M.52. Here are a few things they did to successfully onboard M.52.
Addressing the Challenges of Vertical Farming
We should not see Vertical Farming as a trend, but as a serious technology to be deployed to face those food challenges. This means first building a feasible business case with our client.
Chicken Farming with Solar Energy
System Designer Francisco Blasco and his team at Iser Smart Energy, who worked in partnership with Bet Solar faced considerable challenges in calculating the energy needs of the plant - not least because there are so few examples of this kind of installation on this scale.
AI-powered Laserweeding: A New Tool for Weed Control
The LaserWeeder is a pull-behind robot that seamlessly attaches to the back of tractors. LaserWeeder combines AI, computer vision software, deep learning models and lasers to identify weeds and target them for elimination.
Fieldin Partners With Fruitspec to Provide Yield Inventory Technology to Apple Growers in the Pacific Northwest

Light Interaction With Plants: Reflection, Emission and Absorption
But how do plants interact with light? There are three main types of interaction: absorption, reflection, and emission. What does each of them mean in the context of plants? How do they differ from each other?
Is Climate Change Impacting the Growth of Commercial Agriculture?
It is important to remember that technology should be viewed as a tool that can be used to optimize or improve the situation. What it isn't, however, is a free pass to continue implementing unsustainable practices.
The Role of AI and Machine Learning in Advancing Sustainable Biologicals in Agriculture
AI and machine learning solutions can help identify new microbial strains with beneficial agricultural properties, marking them as good candidates to improve biologicals such as biopesticides, biofertilizers, and biostimulants.
The Sky's the Limit for Vertical Farming at University of Washington
Project IF (Indoor farm) is a small hydroponic farm housed in the basement of an on-campus academic building. This registered student organization (RSO) grows fresh food without the need for soil in hydroponic ZipGrow Towers.
How Cameras Enable Vision in New-age Agricultural Robots
Embedded vision has been transforming agriculture by enabling autonomous mobile robots to 'see' their environment for the purposes of picking & harvesting, plowing, weed & bug detection, etc.
