Mechanized operations on terrain slopes can still lead to considerable errors in the alignment and distribution of plants. Knowing slope interference in semi-mechanized planting quality can contribute to precision improvement in decision making, mainly in regions with high slope. This study evaluates the quality of semi-mechanized coffee planting in different land slopes using a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) and statistical process control (SPC). In a commercial coffee plantation, aerial images were collected by a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) and subsequently transformed into a digital elevation model (DEM) and a slope map. Slope data were subjected to variance analysis and statistical process control (SPC). Dependent variables analyzed were variations in distance between planting lines and between plants in line. The distribution of plants on all the slopes evaluated was below expected; the most impacted was the slope between 20–25%, implementing 7.8% fewer plants than projected. Inferences about the spacing between plants in the planting row showed that in slopes between 30–40%, the spacing was 0.53 m and between 0 and 15% was 0.55 m. This denotes the compensation of the speed of the operation on different slopes. The spacing between the planting lines had unusual variations on steep slopes. The SCP quality graphics are of lower quality in operations between 30–40%, as they have an average spacing of 3.65 m and discrepant points in the graphics. Spacing variations were observed in all slopes as shown in the SCP charts, and possible causes and implications for future management were discussed, contributing to improvements in the culture installation stage.

The aim of this study was to compare three different soil-sampling methods used in Precision Agriculture and their environmental impact in the agricultural production environment. The sampling methods used were: management zones by elevation (MZA), grid sampling (GS), and sampling oriented by apparent soil electrical conductivity (OS). It was tested in three different fields. When the recommendations were compared, a significant difference among the suggested dosages was observed, indicating the need to improve the soil-sampling techniques, since there were doubts about input deficits or overdoses, regardless of the technology studied. The GS method was the most environmentally viable alternative for P compared to other methods and the OS presented as the better option for K and N. However, the use of soil sensors has been shown to be a viable technology that needs further improvement in order to improve productivity and, hence, economic and environmental gains.

This study shows a new methodological proposal for wine farm management, as a result of the progressive development of the technological innovations and their adoption. The study was carried out in Italy involving farmers, workers, or owners of wine farms who are progressively introducing or using precision agriculture technologies on their farm. The methodology proposed was divided in four stages (1. understanding the changes in action; 2. identifying the added value of Smart Farming processes; 3. verifying the reliability of new technologies; 4. adjusting production processes) that can be applied at different levels in vine farms to make the adoption of precision agriculture techniques and technologies harmonious and profitable. Data collection was carried out using a participant-observer method in brainstorming sessions, where the authors reflected on the significance of technology adoption means and how to put them in practice, and interviews, questionnaire surveys, diaries, and observations. Moreover, project activities and reports provided auxiliary data. The findings highlighted the issues of a sector which, although with broad investment and finance options, lacks a structure of human, territorial, and organizational resources for the successful adoption of technological innovations. The work represents a basis for the future development of models for strategic scenario planning and risk assessments for farmers, policymakers, and scientists.

Considering the impact of fertilizers on coffee production costs, the search for greater efficiency in the use of these inputs has an important role. Accordingly, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the transverse distribution of fertilizer by a centrifugal spreader in a coffee plantation and to compare two operating modes: fertilizer application on one side (FA1), or both sides (FA2) of the coffee plants. In addition, three doses (200, 300 and 400 kg ha−1) of monoammonium phosphate and three spreading disk rotation speeds (240, 375 and 750 rpm) were tested. To characterize fertilizer distribution profiles, collectors were placed under the canopy of coffee plants, and the collected fertilizer was weighed. From the data obtained, distribution profile histograms were constructed, and coefficients of variation were calculated for each treatment. Distribution profiles with higher uniformity were related to the morphologic characteristics of the coffee plants. Regarding the operating modes evaluated, FA1 presented better results with a disk rotation speed of 750 rpm (FA1-W3); FA2 produced the best results with a disk rotation speed of 240 rpm. By relating these results with information on root morphology, FA1-W3 was found to be the most appropriate application method.

The technological models related to farm machinery have had a different evolution in relation to structural and social conditions. Thus we have the American - Western model, capital intensive, with large machines and at the opposite the Asian model, labor intensive, with small and sophisticated machines suitable for small and family farms. Even if, in the large scale machinery, the implementation of new technologies requires less investment in percentage, all farm technical management system may have advantages by the new technology: a) measuring parameters and processes, b) assessing data by informatics models giving information optimization c) availabilit6y of tools to manage the single specific resource. That is Precision Farming.

Agriculture 4.0 & High Tech Farming are strictly related to connectivity between management system and tools (devices and equipment). That is called IoT approach. The definition of Internet of things is evolving due to the convergence of multiple technologies, real-time analytics, machine learning, commodity sensors, and embedded systems. In farming system like vineyard and tillage crops, the main applications are related to monitor soil, environment and crops but also to provide prescription maps essential to control automatic operation of devices and equipment. The systemic system of IoT permits to have augmented knowledge on the overall process that is essential to manage sustainability and product quality. IoT enhances traceability by block chain.

Research and innovation deployment requires skills and time. Innovation is a process that permits to companies and groups to adapt to social, economic and environmental changes. There are different approach to innovation. Some companies prefer to keep innovation place within the company boundaries, (closed innovation), meanwhile others companies have an open innovation approach, so they activate innovation towards a continuous internal and external exchange. This kind of approach see this roots in an open and fluid management of knowledge and know how between all the stakeholders. There are many place for innovation, i.e. the FabLab global network, in which inventors of each sort share ideas, time, space and knowledge.

The term precision agriculture were introduced into scientific literature by Jhon Schueller in the 1991 Meeting of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) in Chicago: “the continuous advantages in automation hardware and software technology have made possible what is variously knows as spatially-variable, or site specific crop production”. The concept of sustainable development was introduced in 1987 in the Bruntland Report and the term “sustainable agriculture” was defined in the 5th European Environmental action programme: Towards sustainability. In Agenda 2000, 5 main objectives founded Common Agricultura Policies toward 2020: competitiveness; food safety and quality; farmers’ wellness and proper income; environmental respect; new jobs opportunities for farmers’ communities

The present study aimed to investigate the performance parameters and related costs of a machinery set composed of a tractor and a machine for fertilizers and soil correctives application, working in a coffee yard. It was evaluated two different modes of operation. For the first mode of operation (MO1), the machinery applied the total recommended dose to only one side of the plants and traveled in only half of the plot interrows. For the second mode of operation (MO2), the machinery applied half the recommended dose to each side of the plants and traveled in all of the plot interrows. The study was performed at Bom Jardim Farm, located in the municipality of Bom Sucesso, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The performance parameters included effective field capacity and effective time. The hourly cost of the fertilizers and soil correctives application operation was determined based on the farm’s management data and the effective cost was obtained by relating the hourly cost and the effective time. The results showed that MO1 implies higher effective field capacity and lower effective cost, with the cost of only 50.1% of that found for MO2. Key words: Agricultural machinery management; costs; Coffea arabica L.

The new paradigm of digitization, connectivity and Precision Agriculture is a great opportunity in growing on work efficiency and profitability, resources and environment care, social evolution in new jobs and in a new way of working. However, this widespread adoption require time in appropriate machines, devices, systems and procedures. In the different stage of complexity, economic and environmental advantages are already defined in an important document of the European Parliament (STOA 2016 and 2017) i.e. The first step of PA adoption saves time and fuel for 15-20%, new conservative operation reduces soil erosion up to 15 times, more complex steps make saving up to 70% of chemicals for pest control. Nevertheless, problems arise with education and training.

Effective use of technologies is strictly related to direct and ancillary supports. The reliability of technological support system is essential; and territorial development of these skills is fundamental for a trustworthy introduction of innovation. The performances of the introduced technologies depend on an appropriate support at local and enterprise level: any technology requires providers and services (HD and SW) to be maintained, repaired and set up, which means well-trained consultants and human capital by the appropriate educational system. The efficiency of the local ecosystem, which supports the introduced technologies, is determined by the skills growth and competences and the Local Ecosystem Readiness Level (LERL), required by the new introducing technology, defines it.

Technological revolutions require time, investments, training and analysis to be reliable, profitable and wide spread effective. For science, modelling knowledge requires years. After the first enthusiastic but critical step of research discovery, deployment requires time and skills: be ready to get your hands dirty, literally. And even more if we are in a chaotic development of a universe of technologies to be set in order. Each technology has to be assessed in the TRL technological readiness level. Researchers and providers have to respect their own rule in the technology development. Moreover, technology must to be assessed for the benefit of the technical capacity absorbable by the farm system and the Business model of the farm enterprise.

Feeding the growing global population requires an annual increase in food production. This requirement suggests an increase in the use of pesticides, which represents an unsustainable chemical load for the environment. To reduce pesticide input and preserve the environment while maintaining the necessary level of food production, the efficiency of relevant processes must be drastically improved. Within this context, this research strived to design, develop, test and assess a new generation of automatic and robotic systems for effective weed and pest control aimed at diminishing the use of agricultural chemical inputs, increasing crop quality and improving the health and safety of production operators. To achieve this overall objective, a fleet of heterogeneous ground and aerial robots was developed and equipped with innovative sensors, enhanced end-effectors and improved decision control algorithms to cover a large variety of agricultural situations. This article describes the scientific and technical objectives, challenges and outcomes achieved in three common crops.

The sustainable use of pesticide and the need of a renewed integrated system of agricultural knowledge and management, focus the designing of the EU FP7 RHEA Project. The objectives are the design, development, and testing of a new automatic generation of robotic systems to perform field operations for the sustainable crop management. The project affects three case study: chemical, physical, mechanical and thermal effective weed management in maize and wheat cultivations and chemical pesticide management in woody crops. To achieve the goals, a fleet of small and heterogeneous robots, ground and aerial, equipped with advanced sensors, innovative end actuators and decision control algorithms were realized. Present work is related to the third case study considered i.e. the spraying in woody crops specifically in olive trees. The final decision on woody perennial crops treatment device system, was oriented toward a complete double side air blast sprayer with eight separate spraying modules on four vertical bands of the canopy. Rhea air blast sprayer introduces some important innovations in the studies concerning the pesticide variable rate treatment, i.e. the management possibility of air flow in site specific way and in real time in function of the target.
