Definitions
- the invention particularly refers to a precision dosing system for special application in the field of agricultural machinery, such as sprayers or nebulizers.
- the application sectors will be those likely to use said invention, such as the viticulture sector.
- the vineyard is one of the most intensified extensive crops, which requires a large amount of inputs, being a crop very suitable for the application of precision agriculture techniques (Arnó et al., 2012).
- Arthropods There are numerous species of mites and insects that cause damage to the vine, although it is the phylloxera Dactylosphaera vitifoliae Fitch, a hemipteran insect, that caused the greatest damage to the vine crop (Granett et al., 2001; Powell et al. ., 2013).
- Virus obligate intracellular parasites.
- the infectious short internode virus (GFLV) is the most important viral disease of the grapevine (Royal Decree 208, 2003).
- Phytoplasmas They are single-celled organisms of the class Mullicutes, obligate parasites, that reside in phloem cells. Of the vine phytoplasmosis, “Golden Flavescence” is the best known and has the greatest economic impact (Nazaré-Pereira, nd) since it can kill the vines quickly and spread to other areas. Bacteria. The species of Agrobacterium spp., are very polyphagous, produce the disease known as bacterial tumor, tuberculosis, scab or galls and is characterized by the formation of more or less voluminous protuberances that develop at the base of the plant and roots or at the height of the graft (Abelleira et al., 2009).
- Nematodes of edaphic origin, cause hypertrophy and lesions in the root system, in addition to facilitating the entry of other pathogens.
- the species that affect the vineyard belong to the genera Xiphinema and Meloidogyne (Abelleira et al., 2009).
- Fungi and Oomycetes There are a large number of pathogens that affect this crop, depending on the plant part it affects: aerial “fungi” (mildew and powdery mildew, which attack all the green parts of the plant), vascular, wood or root rot. , mildew, powdery mildew (Abelleira et al., 2009). They are one of the most relevant phytosanitary problems affecting the vineyard today and, therefore, some authors consider them to be the phylloxera of the 21st century. This syndrome includes a total of 7 pathologies that include more than 133 species of fungi.
- tinder is the most used to refer to them.
- Escudo ® is available, which is a fungicide composed of 5g/l of flusilazole and 10g/l of carbendazamide from the commercial company DuPont ®, being capable of effectively controlling Phaemoniella chlamydospora and Phaeoacremonium aleophilum is also capable of controlling Eutypa lata (Marquez, 2003).
- Fungicides are the “most demanding” products; They normally require that the largest possible surface of the leaf be treated and nebulizers are the best there. In general, fungicides are broad spectrum. In any case, these statements are generic as it would also be necessary to consider whether you are treating with a contact or systemic product.
- Contact fungicides are those that remain on the outside of the plant, covering the leaves. These fungicides are preventive since they prevent fungal spores from germinating and penetrating the crop cells. The main problem with these fungicides is that, since they are on the leaves, they only act where the drop of fungicide falls. Furthermore, with time and rain they will wash away and, therefore, lose effectiveness.
- Systemic fungicides are absorbed by the plant through the stomata of the leaves or through the roots.
- the limbic system is responsible for distributing the active compounds of these fungicides throughout the plant, until they reach the stems and leaves.
- Systemic fungicides are intended as a treatment when the first symptoms of disease are observed in the plant, or when it is detected that the conditions will favor its spread. Through the plant they pass to the pathogenic fungus, causing biochemical damage that kills it. Furthermore, upon entering the interior of the plant they have a long period of permanence within it.
- Phenology is the science that studies the relationship between climatic factors and the cycles of living beings. Baggiolini (1952) defined 14 phenological stages of the vine. Subsequently, Peterson included 5 more phases to complete leaf fall, being:
- Phenological stage A winter bud.
- Phenological state B1 I cry.
- Phenolic state B2 swollen yolk.
- Phenological stage K pea-sized grain.
- Computer vision is a scientific discipline that includes methods to acquire, process and analyze images of the real world in order to produce information that can be processed by artificial intelligence.
- a spectral image is one that reproduces the figure of an object depending on the wavelength that the object in question is reflecting (or emitting); or, in other words, it is a set of images of the same object each represented with different wavelengths;
- the number of spectral bands being the main difference between a multispectral image and a hyperspectral image.
- Multispectral images are made up of relatively few bands (normally between 2 and 10) and are bands that are not necessarily contiguous to each other, while hyperspectral images are normally made up of a greater number of bands (greater than 10) and these are always contiguous. .
- hyperspectral images we can obtain the intensity values at the discrete wavelengths in which the system captures radiation, while with a hyperspectral image what we obtain is the continuous spectrum or spectral signature of the object of analysis (W01 ).
- RGB cameras red, green and blue. They are digital cameras that allow you to obtain RGB images.
- the technical parameters taken into account in this type of device are the light sensitivity of the sensor, spatial resolution or optical focus.
- pattern recognition Through digital image analysis, applying pattern recognition, one can e.g. For example, identifying diseases in vegetation from RGB images.
- the difficulty in detection and low precision of this technique is usually the result of low image quality.
- Multispectral or visible spectrum cameras are frame-type cameras, equipped with spectral filters to be able to filter the electromagnetic emission according to its spectrum. They are multi-CCD and CMOS types, and with a Bayer ® mask it is possible to assign colors in RGB, or directly 3 separate RGB systems. They normally filter 4 different bands: near infrared (757.5-782.5 nm), red (637.5-662.5 nm), green (537.5-562.5 nm) and blue (437.5-462 .5 nm) (Hall et al., 2003). Multispectral images are made up of relatively few bands (usually between 2 and 10) and they are bands that are not necessarily contiguous to each other. Multispectral images are 2 spatial dimensions (X, Y). Multispectral images are very useful when we know the wavelengths that differentiate one material or another. Multispectral imaging cameras can provide data on RGB wave bands and an additional near-infrared band; This technique is called near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
- NIRS near-
- Hyperspectral cameras are pushbroom type cameras, which are also capable of filtering electromagnetic emission according to their spectrum. Hyperspectral images are normally made up of a high number of bands (greater than 10) and these are always contiguous. Hyperspectral images have 1 spatial dimension and one spectral dimension (X, Z), which would correspond to the left lateral face of a hyperspectral cube. The process to obtain a hyperspectral cube involves scanning the scene to generate the second spatial dimension and this scanning can be done in two ways: moving the object or moving the hyperspectral camera over the scene or over the object of study. Hyperspectral images offer much more quantitative information and are used as spectral differentiation and classification tools (Hall et al., 2003). For example, it is possible to study the characteristics of the soil through its reflectance at different bands, so that it is possible to correlate this reflectance with various characteristics such as organic matter content or mineral composition (Lee et al., 2010).
- Thermal imaging cameras allow thermal images to be obtained to know the variability of temperature at the leaf level, which can give an idea of its nutritional state and the detection of diseases, since the implementation of the plant's defense mechanisms against the attack of a pathogen, such as senescence of the attacked part, can cause an increase in leaf temperature (Sankaran et al., 2010). In this type of sensors, radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction are necessary.
- Fluorescence (of chlorophyll). This is a form of spectroscopy in which fluorescence is studied after the application of a beam of light, usually ultraviolet light; We have two types of fluorescence: blue-green (400-600nm) and chlorophyll fluorescence (650-800nm). (Sankaran et al., 2010); It is necessary to determine the florescence by terrestrial means since the sensor must be in the vegetation, continuously measuring its variability in the different study areas (Diago et al., 2013 and 2016). A disadvantage of this system is that plant preparation must follow a strict protocol, which cannot be done in normal agricultural greenhouses or field environments.
- LIDAR Laser-Based Radar
- It is a laser system, which operates in the visible and infrared spectrum, which allows the distance to a certain target to be recorded; It is being used in smart agriculture to improve the precision of vehicles, e.g. e.g., the tractor and avoiding edges or obstacles (Lee et al., 2010).
- New methods based on sensors are known for the detection, identification and quantification of plant diseases. These sensors evaluate the optical properties of plants within different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and are capable of using information beyond the visible range. Remote sensing is the use of reflected and emitted energy to measure the physical properties of distant objects and their surroundings. In the field of plant sciences, remote sensing is a method used to obtain information about plants or crops without direct contact or invasive manipulation. These sensors can be installed on multiple platforms e.g. e.g., robots, drones, etc. (Trueba, 2017).
- Optical techniques such as RGB imaging, multispectral and hyperspectral sensors, thermography or chlorophyll fluorescence are used in automated detection systems for the identification of plant diseases in early times. Optical detection techniques are used to identify foci of primary disease and areas that differ in disease severity across fields. These techniques together with advanced data analysis methods are used for specific pest management programs in sustainable crop production (Mahlein, 2016).
- Vegetation indices are used, which are combinations of the spectral bands recorded by remote sensing satellites, whose function is to enhance the vegetation based on its spectral response and attenuate the details of other elements such as soil, lighting, water, etc. . These are images calculated from algebraic operations between different spectral bands. The result of these operations allows us to obtain a new image where certain pixels related to plant cover parameters are graphically highlighted. Among all, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (ND VI) is the most used vegetation index (W04).
