Abstract

On June 14th, 2022 at 3.30 pm, Iván Belupú, Universtá di Piura (Perú), will give a seminar on "IoT platform with WSN for smart agriculture in banana plantations" in Deib PT1 Room (building 20, ground floor).

Smart farming practices are inspired by sensing technologies, the main variables to be measured are soil and climate. The collection and processing of these data from different crops leads to better decisions that can benefit the entire value chain of planting and harvesting of products. For banana crops an architecture was designed to collect and transmit data regarding climate and soil variables with the greatest impact on the growth, maintenance and harvesting of the crop. Another important issue is the monitoring of pests through models based on machine learning to relate climatic information with the population growth of thrips in a banana plot.
