Monitoramento de semeadura

Abstract

Precision agriculture is growing topic in agricultural research. It involves combining different sources of harvesting information to automate the agricultural process, improving productivity and making greater profit at the end of production. This technology first prepares the soil with analysis of the earth making correction of the same. In the sowing phase the monitoring of seeds and fertilizer prevents process failures. In the application of agrotoxic the process is automated and in grain harvesting, there are sensors to avoid product losses. Automated seed and fertilizer sowing are performed by seeders, precision machines whose purpose is to distribute seeds in given pattern. These machines allow the connection of sowing monitor, device composed of processing center, user interface and multiple sensors, such seed passage and fertilizer passage. The development of sowing monitor is proposed in this work. In addition to the seed and fertilizer sensors, the implemented monitor offers Bluetooth communication interface and pushbutton for illumination, control by application in mobile device to uses an android operating system, and there may be user monitoring the sowing.
