MONITORAMENTO TÉRMICO POR MEIO DE SENSORES EM CULTIVO DE MORANGO

Abstract

The agriculture with each the years becomes far more technological, with the objective of improving and optimizing the planting conditions,the economic and productive conditions of the crop, and with this, small farmers are induced to qualify and are more in line with the conditions that are exposed of the technologies.The use of technological resources and forms of agriculture that value the maximization of production and maximum economy and preservation have been gaining ground in the agricultural environment. These aspects are increasingly helping the development of life in the countryside, facilitating the assessment of land and planting . Thus, this work aimed to evaluate strawberry gardens by remote sensors in order to investigate and discover stresses that could limit production. The study was carried out with three farmers participating in a strawberry exporting cooperative. The studied sectors were georeferenced with the aid of a GPS Data cell phone application and then a flight was made with a Drone that had thermal sensors that, using infrared reflectance, could identify the thermal conditions of the orchard. With these images, it was possible to assess the conditions of the orchard in hot areas, which are areas that need irrigation, and cold areas, which are areas that are in better conditions for plants. Finally, the thermal conditions are good in general, thus achieving the success of the general idea of the research that managed to show the producers that with these images they can have a more detailed analysis of the planting and can have a more accurate decision of the gardens with the help of technologies developed in agriculture, as the use of sensors is increasingly needed to support the objectives of precision agriculture.
