Currently in Taiwan pineapple is a major fresh fruit for export in terms of amount, thus the control and upgrade of fruit quality is essential to the sustainable development of the industry. However, pineapple industry requires large labor input involved with planting, management, forcing, harvest and packing. As labor force aged and dwindling, the introduction of automatic and smart techniques is crucial and primary to the key solution of labor shortage. This project aims to develop monitoring
Greenhouse agriculture has attracted significant interest recently for its pivotal role in enhancing food security and optimizing crop yields. Nonetheless, the accurate and safe application of pesticides within greenhouses remains a persistent challenge, particularly concerning potential hazards posed to farmers by prolonged pesticide exposure. This study introduces a novel approach utilizing Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology to develop an automated pesticide spraying vehicle tailored for greenhou
In today's agriculture, the integration of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the way how we grow crops. With increasing demands on food production and the growing need for efficiency, AI is stepping in to provide farmers with powerful tools for improving their operations. One such tool is image recognition, which has emerged asset for assessing seedling quality in nurseries. For crops like cabbages, ensuring seedling health and uniformity is critical to a succe
“Common Information Platform” (abbreviated as CIP) established by Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute (abbreviated as TARI) can introduce the “Digital Twin” technology into the vegetable and fruit greenhouse by collecting big data.
Since 2011, the Fisheries Research Institute has developed test kits for pathogenic bacteria such as vibrio vulnificus, lactobacillus and Edwardsiella. These used to take 1-2 days to confirm the test results.
Accord to the paper of 2020 Agricultural Statistics Yearbook, there is 16.67 billion NT dollars of livestock production and reaching 33.5% of agriculture production in Taiwan. Production of livestock to sort was 1st hogs, 2nd broilers, 3rd layers, 4th cow milk and 5th mule & muscovery ducks and these productions were 71.4, 46.4, 21.4, 11.4 and 7.5 billion NT dollars, respectively. Accounting the year production were 10.41 and 19.75 million were hogs farm and cow milk farm. But also these are lab
