Monitoreo de la temperatura superficial de la lechuga en un cultivo urbano empleando el sensor AMG8833

Abstract

Urban Agriculture is a healthy food system where the current trend and prospects for the development of production and trade of certified agricultural products. As an innovation and strategy to resolve integral to the current problems of food production, the Agriculture of pressure that seeks to minimize environmental pollution and maximize profits by controlling the amount of fertilizers added to the soil taking into account the nutrients already existing in the entire surface to be cultivated and the specific requirement of the themselves by the crop. It is also based on the early detection of pests and pathogens in agricultural fields in such a way that as little as possible is used of pesticides, which are dosed in a controlled and slow way before the attack by part of the pests or pathogens is irreversible. Modern agriculture wants promote efficiency in the available resources, the sustainability of the agricultural resource, the preservation of the environment and have a differentiation with respect to its competitors. In this sense, the so-called Wireless Sensor Networks can be a tool to monitor, predict and optimize activity management and resources agriculture in real time. Sensors capture information from the environment (temperature, ambient humidity, soil humidity, solar radiation, rainfall...) and transfer it to the remote equipment. With the above, the importance of measuring surface temperature with the use of infrared sensors where in this work the consultation and the application of the Sensor AMG8833 8X8.
