The use of effective sensors in the agricultural field

The remote sensing unit, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Unit at the College of Science, University of Baghdad, organized a workshop titled ” The use of effective sensors in the agricultural field.” The workshop aimed to highlight the importance of effective sensors in agriculture and understand the economic aspect they provide, whether in terms of material or time. It also aimed to explore how sensors can be used in the fields to determine crop water and nutrient requirements, provide necessary care, and use sensors to determine the optimal timing for planting and harvesting, thereby reducing costs and increasing productivity. The workshop, presented by Dr. Ahmed Asaad and Dr. Khalid Hussein Abbas, included an introduction to the methods of using sensors in smart agriculture, emphasizing its significant importance, and how they can contribute to improving agricultural production efficiency, reducing costs, and mitigating risks associated with traditional agricultural by monitoring and assessing important agricultural environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, lighting, carbon dioxide concentration, and others to determine the optimal conditions for plant growth and achieve the highest production levels.
