Desenvolvimento de uma aplicação utilizando RSSF para a agricultura de precisão

Abstract

Agricultural field soil properties, such as pH and humidity, can be modified when submitted to agronomic practices, impacting over the final product’s quality and quantity. Unfortunately, those properties vary in time and space on the field, which means that inside the same Agricultural field there are locations where its soil properties differ from each other. The proposal presented on this paper is the project, development and description of the application’s operations, which is planned to be implemented into an agricultural scenario as a Precision Agriculture practice, aiding on the gathering of soil properties data, it also includes, the operations and development’s documentation of a Web App that allow the soil properties data visualization and network management. This application is composed by a server, which runs a Web App and an API, Node devices equipped with certain soil sensors, and Gateways which allow the communication between the server and the Nodes. The developed application can be implemented in a small scale, providing soil property data over determined time periods, possibly enabling a better management over soil properties on an agricultural field.
