Remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPASs) have gained prominence in recent decades primarily due to their versatility of application in various sectors of the economy. In the agricultural sector, they stand out for optimizing processes, contributing...

Facing severe climate change, preserving the environment, and promoting sustainable development necessitate innovative global solutions such as waste recycling, extracting value-added by-products, and transitioning from traditional to renewable energ...

This research presents the prediction of temperatures in the chamber of a solar dryer using artificial neural networks (ANN). The dryer is a forced-flow type and indirect. Climatic conditions, temperatures, airflow, and geometric parameters were cons...

Climate change is linked to CO2 emissions, the reduction of which has become a top priority. In response to these circumstances, scientists must constantly develop new technologies that increase fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Agriculture today...

Crown rot, caused by Fusarium species, is the most devastating postharvest disease in bananas. Fungicides are traditionally applied as a postharvest treatment to control crown rot in bananas. However, there is a need to research environmentally frien...

During the 1950s, the Gros Michel species of bananas were nearly wiped out by the incurable Fusarium Wilt, also known as Panama Disease. Originating in Southeast Asia, Fusarium Wilt is a banana pandemic that has been threatening the multi-billion-dol...

The primary strategy for mitigating lost productivity entails promptly, accurately, and efficiently detecting plant pests. Although detection by humans can be useful in detecting certain pests, it is often slower compared to automated methods, such a...

In this study, the finite volume method was used to evaluate the thermal performance of a flat-plate solar collector used to dry agricultural crops. A 3D numerical model was created and used to predict the outlet air velocities and temperatures for t...

The precision agriculture scientific field employs increasingly innovative techniques to optimize inputs, maximize profitability, and reduce environmental impacts. Therefore, obtaining a high number of soil samples to make precision agriculture feasi...

This study was conducted to survey the level of technification of quail sheds in Brazil. Data from 25 quail farms (5 in each Brazilian region) were collected by image analysis of videos available on the Internet. The analyzed variables were farm loca...
