Опубликована: Июнь 9, 2023

In an alarming tale of agricultural excess, the relentless overuse chemical fertilizers in modern farming methods have wreaked havoc on once-fertile soil, mercilessly depleting its vital nutrients while inflicting irreparable harm delicate balance surrounding ecosystem. The excessive use such leaves residue products, pollutes environment, upsets agrarian ecosystems, and lowers soil quality. Furthermore, a significant proportion nutrient content, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, is lost from (50–70%) before being utilized. Nanofertilizers, other hand, nanoparticles to control release nutrients, making them more efficient cost-effective than traditional fertilizers. Nanofertilizers comprise one or plant within where at least 50% particles are smaller 100 nanometers. Carbon nanotubes, graphene, quantum dots some examples types nanomaterials used production nanofertilizers. new generation that utilize advanced nanotechnology provide sustainable method fertilizing crops. They designed deliver controlled manner, ensuring gradually released over extended period, thus providing steady supply essential elements plants. controlled-release system fertilizers, as it reduces need for frequent application amount fertilizer. These high surface area-to-volume ratio, ideal holding releasing nutrients. Naturally occurring found various sources, volcanic ash, ocean, biological matter viruses dust. However, regarding large-scale production, relying solely naturally may not be sufficient practical. agriculture, has been primarily increase crop minimizing losses activating defense mechanisms against pests, insects, environmental challenges. nanofertilizers can reduce runoff leaching into improving sustainability. also improve fertilizer efficiency, leading higher yields reducing overall cost application. especially beneficial areas inefficient ineffective. way fertilize crops impact product promising technology help meet increasing demand food Currently, face limitations, costs potential safety concerns due nanomaterials, further research needed fully understand their long-term effects health, growth, environment.

The Impact of 6G-IoT Technologies on the Development of Agriculture 5.0: A Review

Electronics, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 12(12), С. 2651 - 2651

Опубликована: Июнь 13, 2023

Throughout human history, agriculture has undergone a series of progressive transformations based on ever-evolving technologies in an effort to increase productivity and profitability. Over the years, farming methods have evolved significantly, progressing from Agriculture 1.0, which relied primitive tools, 2.0, incorporated machinery advanced practices, subsequently 3.0, emphasized mechanization employed intelligent technology enhance levels. To further automate agricultural while minimizing inputs pollutants, new approach management concepts fourth industrial revolution is being embraced gradually. This referred as “Agriculture 4.0” mainly implemented through use Internet Things (IoT) technologies, enabling remote control sensors actuators efficient collection transfer data. In addition, fueled by such robotics, artificial intelligence, quantum sensing, four-dimensional communication, form smart agriculture, called 5.0,” now emerging. 5.0 can exploit growing 5G network infrastructure basis. However, only 6G-IoT networks will be able offer technological advances that allow full expansion 5.0, inferred relevant scientific literature research. this article, we first introduce scope well key features leveraged much-anticipated communication systems. We then highlight importance influence these developing advancement conclude with discussion future challenges opportunities.
