O uso de sensores de presença na automação do sistema de pulverização na agricultura familiar

Abstract

Family farming plays a very important role in Brazilian agriculture. The lack of technology within the family-based production process is due to the high cost of conventional systems and the lack of knowledge and technical approach to the use oh these technologies. Thus, this work aimed to develop a low-cost automation system to be used without spraying system in family agriculture. For the evaluation of the automation system na iron bar with presence sensors fixed to a bar sprayer was used, it was coupled to a microtractor very used by the small farmer. The presence sensor was mounted on a plataform with arduino and the white sensor indicators were able to monitor or not and then release na injection of water. The file automation system is downloades and used by family farming.
