Agro industry play a major role in nation’s economic growth and one of the biggest
contributor in Domestic Gross Production (GDP),and wealth capital. Along with the
environment challenges together with the demanding market, modern method is
introduced to replace long due conventional method of farming to meet current market
demand. The most challenging issue in agro industry are human resources, where human
resources are the back bone of farming. With technology development, modern farming
benefits in the way like it never been before.
Smart ICT programs solutions and Drone technology among the latest application used in
modern method of farming and has been used worldwide, creating the concept of
‘Precision Agriculture’. Precision Agriculture are proven to be the new way of modern and
smart farming inspired by the awareness of sustainability agriculture and the demand of
consumerism, product safety and environment. Precision agriculture also benefits in terms
revenue and income to farmers, which many farmers nowadays change to new method
of Precision Agriculture.
2. PRECISION AGRICULTURE
Precision Agriculture drive farmer to modern way of farming for tackling challenges in
agriculture such environmental changes, production and sustainability. This will allow
better farming that can increase production yield, minimized harvesting period, maximized
land usage and decreased in overhead cost. Precision agriculture also enable farmer to
a better farming management using IT platform. With crop production and health
monitoring system, farming management system, farming will be base on big data. This will
allow better yield, farming operations and planning. Also, big data can be used in
commercial plantation forecast hence increasing revenue and commodity market.
revenue itself. For a developing nation such as Malaysia where main commodity is a
agriculture product derive,, modernizing farming through technology has become
compulsory to keep up with the progress and competitors.
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
FEATURES
FLIGHT CONTROL
Precision farming for increasing oil palm yield requires optimization of returns on inputs
while preserving resources based on sensing, measuring and health assessment of the
plantations. Relying on satellites and airplanes images of palms, there’s a substantial
lag in terms of getting the data quickly enough. Professionals have been using satellite
and UAV-based remote sensing for plantation monitoring applications such as
vegetation cover assessment, vegetation mapping, crop monitoring and forest fire
applications. Conventional scouting of oil palm plantations as well as palm census and
quantification of the amount of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) are intensive labor tasks that
are either ignored in oil palm plantations or are carried out manually by the use of hand
counters. Yield reduction due to high density palm areas that causes etiolation is an
issue in plantation management. Palm densities are an important and limiting factor for
growth, nutritional status, fruiting and hence for a plantation’s yield. Optimal palm
densities depend on different factors, such as cultivars, climate, soil characteristics and
land preparation. Refilling of palm gaps and correction of non-optimal densities.
Aerial photography from UAV has bridged the gap between ground-based
observations and remotely sensed imagery of conventional aircraft and satellite
platforms and has made possible great improvements in crop scouting, yield mapping,
field boundary mapping, soil sampling and soil property mapping, weeds and pest
control and mapping, vehicle’s guidance, navigation control and spraying. These
devices are typically low cost, light weight and low airspeed aircraft that are well suited
for oil-palm plantations.
DATA MANAGEMENT
Adaptation of UAV technology for oil palm plantations involves integration of vision
sensors, machine vision algorithms and control system for:
(iii) identification and counting of specific insects from very-high resolution optical
images,
(vii) dynamic web mapping and inventory management of oil palm productivity using
in situ sensors.
