Review: Cultivation of Strawberries, Case studies and Optimization for strawberry cultivars Amaou

In this post, author sought to gather information related to strawberry cultivation, especially type cultivars Amaou . The information including plant growth condition, optimum conditions, irrigation techniques and measurement of sugar content. This review post reviewed paper were collected from internet, some presented in english and the other in japanese. Furthermore, the information contained in this paper will be used as a reference in the preparation of monitoring and actuating system.

1. Local heating temperature effects on the growth and yield of strawberries [Fragaria] in high-bench culture

2. Effects of irrigation water with high concentrations of Na and HCO3 on yellowing of leaves and on yield of strawberry in bench culture

3. Efficiency of Irrigation Method for Strawberries

4. Effective CO2 enrichment regimes for yield increases  in high-bench strawberry  culture in northern kyushu.

Review: Intelligent Irrigation System for melon in green house

Abstract
The price of melon varies with its quality. It is very difficult to control the quality of melon in various growing stages, because irrigation management in a green house influences the fruit quality. In this study, the intelligent irrigation systems were developed using the know-how extracted from an expert. Fuzzy control and On-off control for irrigation were examined. Changes in soil moisture content were predicted by Fuzzy control systems with various climate sensors. As the results, the performances in Fuzzy control and On-off control were respectively 52% and 40% water saving compared to the manual irrigation by an expert. The qualities of fruits by Fuzzy control and On-off control were almost the same results from the manual irrigation.

seminar note:Agriculture and Integrated Production (IP) in Europe: The Almeria Case

Winter 2012. Today i had opportunity to join special seminar in IT-Agriculture, held by Laboratory of Farm Management, my neighbor laboratory. The keynote speaker is Prof. Fernando Bievenido frrom Departement of Computer Language and Science, University of Almeria, Spain. He will explain his research entitled “Agriculture and Integrated Production(IP) in Europe: The Almeria’s Case”. In this note, I just try retell what I catch from his interesting topics.

Cooperation between all the agent was really the key point of implementation Integrated Production(IP)

Innovation is Important things

Yesterday, I had opportunity to discuss with my Professor, related to research in Agriculture, especially ini his research interest, Agriculture Informatics. We discuss about technology and field application, as we know that Information and technology is common use in various field of science, perhaps technology was already given by technology developer and IT practitioners, but we have to improve that technology and enhance innovation to get the benefit of technology in specific application IT Agriculture. Innovation is keyword, he said..

Assignment 1: Increase of rainfall due to climate change and its relation with forest

Climate change as one popular issues in last decades, it’s affect global average surface temperature and increased over 20th century by about 0.60 C. Forest are likely to experience dramatic changes as a consequence of increment rainfall by climate change. Forest directly affect climate change at the global scale by altering earth’s albedo, hydrological, regimes and atmospheric CO2 .Forest also affect climate at a local scale by altering temperature, humidity and solar radiation (Graham, 1990).

Another serious effect of climate change, related to forest stability is it increased total rain and rain intensity. According to report by Climate Change 2011: The Scientific Basis, Tropical land-surface precipitation measurements indicate that precipitation likely has increased by about 0.2 to 0.3%/ decade over the 20th century. Direct measurements of precipitation and model re analyses of inferred precipitation indicate that rainfall has also increased over large parts of the tropical ocean.
