Alright so now we are going to discuss about engineering in agriculture.

Engineering in
agriculture has reduced much of the manual labor. The introduction of engineering
concepts into the field of agriculture allowed for an enormous boost in the productivity of
crops. In the developed countries, the number of farm workers has steadily declined in the 20th
century, while farm
production has increased because of the use of machinery. Let’s talk about some of the recent
inventions
To start we have the
Laser vectoring:
Since blackbirds, and crows can destroy up to 75% of crops it can lead to a huge loss in revenue.
From traditional scarecrows to propane cannons, none have outrun the evolutionary wit of
nature. The laser scarecrow projects green laser lighting which is not visible to humans but
effective due to birds’ sensitivity to green color. It scares birds by projecting green laser lighting
on field up to 600 ft. It is highly effective and eco-friendly.

Moving on to the

Harvest Quality Vision:

This is a new technology that simplifies the harvesting process of fruits and vegetables by
eliminating the need for manual inspections. HQV uses computerized scanners to capture and
determine the quality and quantity of crops. The software creates alerts whenever there are
deviations such as diseases, defects, and quantity shortages so that growers can correct
their course of actions early in the harvesting process.

Next, we have the

Automated Farming:

Automated farming equipment such as a self-driven tractor or seeder solves the problem of
both time-constraints and labor shortages. Machines like these can work round the clock
tirelessly to bring higher yields in a shorter time. they allow farmers to work on more important
things, such as strategizing an improvement in quality for their crops instead of focusing on
menial and manual labor.

Furthermore, we’ve got

Vertical Farming:

The technique of growing crops in vertically stacked or inclined surfaces that can be integrated
into other structures or buildings is called as vertical farming. They produce more crops with
less space. Farmers can also take advantage of greenhouse settings that can be integrated into
vertical farming. This means the production of year-round seasonal crops
without any effects from the climate.

Finally, we are going to talk about

Drip Irrigation:

Drip irrigation is known to be the most efficient irrigation methods with 95-100% water use
efficiency. Water and nutrients are delivered across the field in pipes called ‘dripper lines’
featuring smaller units known as ‘drippers. Each dripper emits drops containing water and
fertilizers, resulting in the uniform application of water and
nutrients direct to each plant's root zone, across an entire field.
