The system is designed to be a part of an automatic water control system using IoT devices. There are two main components including the hardware and a webbased application. The hardware system consists of two main devices, which includes a Raspberry Pi board installed in a control box to collect data from the field using a DHT22 sensor. This is used to collect temperature and humidity data from the environment of the plant that is sent by the control unit in the control box. The second component is a web application that was designed and implemented to collect and display useful, real-time data for users. This system is very important for the automatic control water system because it is used to collect the data necessary for controlling optimal water quantity for plant growth. The system was tested and worked effectively on a rice farm in Suphan Buri Province, Thailand. The results showed the system was useful for Agricultural 4.0, in which technology can help farmers to increase their productivity while significantly decreasing costs.","PeriodicalId":222254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Agricultural Technologies","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133569578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, the SMS notification system comes handy if access to the cloud platform is not possible. Simulation using MATLAB and Simulink was used together with a prototype demonstration and evaluation form used by a team of evaluators to evaluate the prototype.

Sorghum residues at 5 and 10 t ha-1 were used either alone or in combination with trifluralin at 1.2 L ha-1. Trifluralin at full label rate (2.4 L ha-1), weedy check and weed free treatments were also included for comparison. Incorporation of sorghum residues at 5 and 10 t ha-1 reduced weed density by 6 and 43 % of control and dry weight biomass by 48 and 66% of control, respectively. However, application of herbicide at 50% rate in plots amended with sorghum residues at 5 and 10 t ha-1 provided weed density and dry weight biomass suppression greater than that of full herbicide rate treatment. Chemical analysis of sorghum residues amended field soil revealed the presence of phenolics in higher concentration. Periodic data revealed that maximum quantities of phenolics were coincided with the period in which maximum suppressive activity against the weeds was noticed. Application of sorghum residue at 10 t ha -1 to the plots amended with half rate of trifluralin herbicide provided seed yield significantly higher than that achieved by sole application of label rate of herbicide, which could be used as a feasible and environmentally sound weed management approach in cowpea field.","PeriodicalId":222254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Agricultural Technologies","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125346066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although, the potential use of outer leaves of white cabbages ( Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata ), residues obtained during industrial processing and selling in the market, as a starting material for production of DF powder has been reported, the effect of processing on the health-related functional properties has not been studied. This work aimed at determining the effect of mechanical grinding on capillary porous structure of DF powder (particle size of less than 450 µm) prepared from white cabbage outer leaves on Glucose Adsorption Capacity (GAC), Glucose Retardation Index (GRI) and Bile acid Retardation Index (BRI). The results showed that DF powder with larger sizes possessed higher GAC, GRI and BRI. The DF product with particle size in the range of 300 450 µm exhibited the highest GAC, GRI and BRI among all samples studied. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) results showed that applying such an intense mechanical force as grinding to reduce the particle size resulted in rupture of xylem vessels and other tissues. Thus resulted in the collapse of the tube and loss of ability to trap glucose or bile acid into fiber matrix, which hence gave an adverse effect on DF functional","PeriodicalId":222254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Agricultural Technologies","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116277862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amaranthus tricolor L. was chosen as a model vegetable as it was reported to contain high antioxidants in the leaves. Soilless culture was carried out using a modified Huett solution containing different cationic ion concentrations (K; 28.5, 200.5 and 372.5 ppm, Mg; 2.8, 20 and 37.2 ppm Ca; 9.8, 70 and 130.2 ppm). Mature leaves from each treatment was determined for total phenolic content, antioxidant activity and dietary fiber. It was found that an increase in potassium enhanced the antioxidant activity and total phenolic productivity whereas the mass yield and dietary fiber were not negatively affected. The lowest Mg proportion (2.8 ppm) resulted in no mass productivity. High concentration of Ca (130.2 ppm) could increase the mass yield by up to 34%, compared with the control (70 ppm Ca). However, neither significant effect on antioxidant activity nor total phenolic productivity was observed with varying calcium concentration. The results suggest that producing an antioxidant-rich vegetable, not lowering its original quality, could be achieved by optimization of these nutrient elements.","PeriodicalId":222254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Agricultural Technologies","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126958525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
