This invention relates to intelligent system for integrated pathogen and pest management in agricultural.
Background of the Invention
US20190269120AU; Described are devices and methods for pest control, including devices useful to place pest control devices at locations of use such as at a crop (e.g., at a branch of a tree), certain embodiments of devices including a capsule and a tether that can become tangled or caught in a tree or other crop location.
Research Gap:
• The published patent is not identifying the pathogens.
• The inventors has deployed pest control device at a branch of a tree. It is not necessary that tree is available always near the filed
• The pesticide, poison applied from a device installed on tree may have adverse effect on tree.
KR20110052925A; A disease and insect pest forecasting system is provided to enable an agriculture management center to notify mobile communication terminals about agriculture prescription based on image information of various sensors and cameras. Constitution: A camera (10) observes a farm. A temperature sensor (30) senses the inner temperature of the farm. A humidity sensor (40) senses the humidity of the farm. A forecasting trap (50) pre-observers the harmful insect. A management server (60) stores a signal which is received from the forecasting trap, the camera, the temperature sensor, and the humidity sensor. A farming management center (110) determines the period of controlling insect pests.
Research Gap:
• In this invention, pests that trapped on steaky plate can only be identified. No method has suggested if insects were not trapped.
• Explains only about pests. No method suggested for pathogens or disease management.
