This article will elaborate on the current status, technical composition, application scenarios, development trends and challenges of Brazil’s agricultural Internet of Things, as well as specific cases.
Current Status of Brazil’s Agricultural Internet of Things
Brazil is an important exporter of agricultural products in the world, with rich agricultural resources and vast arable land.
However, the traditional agricultural model has problems such as low production efficiency, serious waste of resources, and great environmental pressure.
In order to change this situation, the Brazilian government and enterprises have begun to vigorously promote agricultural Internet of Things technology, hoping to promote the process of agricultural modernization through scientific and technological innovation.
In recent years, Brazil has made significant progress in the field of agricultural Internet of Things. The government has introduced a series of policies and measures to support the research and development and application of agricultural Internet of Things technology; enterprises have actively invested funds to develop agricultural Internet of Things products suitable for Brazil’s national conditions. At present, Brazil’s agricultural Internet of Things has covered multiple fields such as precision agriculture, intelligent irrigation, and pest and disease monitoring, providing strong support for agricultural production.
Technical composition of agricultural Internet of Things
Agricultural Internet of Things is a comprehensive system, and its technical composition mainly includes the following aspects:
Perception layer:
Through various sensors deployed in farmland (such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, light sensors, etc.), soil, meteorology, crop growth and other environmental parameters are collected in real time.
Network layer:
The data collected by the perception layer is transmitted to the data center or cloud server using wireless networks (such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, LoRa, etc.) and mobile communication networks (such as 4G, 5G).
Platform layer:
The data center or cloud server processes and analyzes the received data to form visual reports and decision support information. At the same time, the platform layer also provides functions such as remote control and intelligent early warning.
Application layer:
Based on the information provided by the platform layer, farmers and managers can formulate scientific planting plans, irrigation plans, pest and disease control measures, etc., to achieve intelligent and refined management of agricultural production.
Application scenarios of agricultural Internet of Things
In Brazil, the application scenarios of agricultural Internet of Things are very extensive, mainly including the following aspects:
Precision agriculture:
Through sensors and drones deployed in farmland, real-time monitoring of parameters such as soil moisture, nutrient content, and crop growth conditions, farmers are provided with accurate planting suggestions. For example, intelligent irrigation is carried out according to soil moisture and crop water requirements; precise fertilization is carried out according to crop growth conditions and nutrient requirements.
Intelligent irrigation:
The Internet of Things technology is used to realize the automation and intelligent control of the irrigation system. By monitoring soil moisture and meteorological conditions, the switching time and water volume of irrigation equipment are automatically adjusted to achieve water-saving irrigation and precision irrigation.
Pest and disease monitoring:
Through the pest and disease monitoring equipment (such as cameras, infrared sensors, etc.) deployed in the farmland, the occurrence of crop pests and diseases is monitored in real time. Once signs of pests and diseases are found, early warning information is immediately sent to farmers and prevention and control measures are recommended.
Agricultural product traceability:
The Internet of Things technology is used to record the entire process information of agricultural products from planting to harvesting (such as planting time, fertilization records, pest and disease control records, etc.), providing consumers with traceable food safety guarantees.
Agricultural mechanization and automation:
Combining Internet of Things technology with agricultural machinery to realize the automation and intelligent control of agricultural machinery. For example, unmanned tractors, intelligent harvesters and other equipment can independently complete tasks such as plowing, sowing, and harvesting.
Development trends and challenges of agricultural Internet of Things in Brazil
