INTELIGENT SYSTEMS USED IN MODERN AGRICULTURE

Digital agriculture is the perfect integration of digital technologies in crop and animal management and other agricultural processes. For farmers, digital farming offers the opportunity to increase production, save long-term costs and eliminate risk. Agricultural researchers see it as a data collection tool that has the ability to simplify data collection and analysis, improving predictive skills when it comes to crop management, animal behavior and production. A digital agricultural system is a database that includes not only different types of data relevant to agriculture, from soil conditions to market assessment, but also optimal decision-making functions that help to take the best measures in a series of processes. The paper presents a brief summary of new technologies in agriculture

THE USE OF DRONES IN MODERN AGRICULTURE

Drones are largely associated with military, industrial and other specialized operations, but with recent developments in sensors and information technology over the past two decades, the scope of drones has been expanded to other areas, such as agriculture. This approach to agricultural management is based on the observation, measurement and measurement of real-time data on crops and animals. It removes the need for assumptions in modern agriculture and instead gives farmers the ability to maximize their yields while increasing crop production. This paper presents a brief summary of drone implementation in agriculture

ALGAE COMPOSTING AND THE USE OF COMPOST OBTAINED AS FERTILIZER FOR ORGANIC FARMING

Composting is a cheap and efficient management approach for recycling organic waste, but also an alternative to landfills. Recycling algae into composts has also proven to be an ecological alternative for reducing beach pollution and water eutrophication. There is a growing interest in the use of algae-based fertilizers as they maintain organic farming and contribute to a significant increase in agricultural productivity. This paper presents the particularities of algae as a raw material for composting, the types of composting methods, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of algaebased fertilizers in terms of agricultural cultivation

CULTIVATION TECHNOLOGY AND BENEFITS OF FENUGREEK

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is a plant native to the Mediterranean region. The name of the species means "Greek hay" because in the past it was used as a forage plant, another use being that of spice or medicinal plant throughout the world. Fenugreek is one of the oldest medicinal plants, having positive effects on antidiabetic, anticarcinogen, hypocholesterolemic, antioxidant and immunological activities, can also be used as a green fertilizer, enriching the soil with nutrients. This paper aims to describe the technology of cultivating fenugreek, but also to highlight its main benefits

RESEARCH REGARDING THE EQUIPMENT USED IN WATER TREATMENT PROCESSES OF RECIRCULATING AQUACULTURE SYSTEMS

Modern aquaculture technologies are made with the help of recirculation systems, which require the use of innovative and high-performance solutions for the treatment of recirculated water. Aquaculture recirculation is essentially a technology for growing and developing fish or other aquatic organisms by reusing water for more intensive fish production. The technology is based on the use of mechanical and biological filters, and this ecological method can be implemented for any species cultivated in aquaculture, such as fish, shrimp, mussels, etc. The scientific paper presents a brief summary of the control and solution of the main problems faced by water recirculation systems

IMPACT OF GRANULAR FLOW DYNAMICS ON THE DESIGN AND MODELLING OF THE BUNKERS

Silos and bunkers are widely used in the storage, storage and distribution of granular materials, of particular importance in the management of handling, transport and conditioning operations. The distribution of seeds at the filling and emptying stage of the bunker examines the main loading and unloading hypotheses leading to different limit states for its structure. This paper will present the results of causes such as the maximum pressure perpendicular to the vertical wall of the silo, the maximum stretching effort due to friction with the vertical wall, the vertical pressure on the basis of it and the maximum load on the bunker funnel, resulting in the implementation of new design and modeling solutions. At the same time, the dynamics of the granular flow in the bunkers, including flow regimes, design and optimal shapes, will be described to avoid the loss of energy generated by the collision of macroscopic particles inside it
