As videiras foram sustentadas em Y e manejadas em regime de safra de inverno na região produtora de uvas de Louveira, SP. Durante o período da maturação das uvas foram feitas determinações, na altura dos cachos, da radiação solar e da temperatura do ar. Na colheita foram determinadas as variáveis fitotécnicas (número de ramos, número de cachos, massa dos cachos e produtividade) e físico-químicas do mosto (teor de sólidos solúveis, acidez total, teor de ácido tartárico, antocianinas, polifenóis totais e taninos). Os valores de temperatura máxima do ar foram superiores nas videiras sob cobertura de plástico em comparação às cultivadas a céu aberto enquanto a radiação solar foi mais elevada na condição sem cobertura. A produtividade e o teor de sólidos solúveis totais foram mais elevados para as videiras sob cobertura de plástico. Não foi observada influência da cobertura de plástico impermeável nos teores de antocianina, polifenóis totais e taninos das uvas.

The sprayer was developed at the Instituto Agronômico (IAC) at the Centro de Engenharia Agrícola, located in Jundiaí (São Paulo State, Brasil). The experiment was carried out from 2017 to 2109. The nozzles were fitted inside air spouts placed along vertical air ducts, located so that two converging air jets reached the canopy in two different opposite positions. Two vertical panels (1,20m x 1,90m) were installed on the same folding arms on which the air ducts are placed. The machine was enabled to perform electrostatic spraying. Excess liquid collected on the bottom of the panels were sucked back into the tank by a micro hydraulic pump. The prototype was submitted to field tests to verify the leaf spray coverage and the capability of the machine to save active ingredient during the spray. Leaf image analysis was used to study leaf spray coverage in field tests. The recycling device confirmed its efficiency with a saving of about 50% of active ingredients at the end of the treatments, and the use of electrostatic spray was beneficial for the leaf coverage uniformity, for spraying under high liquid pressure.

In this research work, i.e. step number [4] tested objects included cylinders, cubes, spheres and fruits. A Ronchi grid named G1 was generated in a PC, from which other grids referred as G2, G3, and G4 were set out of phase by 1∕4, 1∕2 and 3∕4 of period from G1. Grid G1 was then projected onto the samples surface. Projected grid was named Gd. The difference between Gd and G1 followed by filtration generated de moire´ fringes M1 and so on, obtaining the fringes M2, M3 and M4 from Gd. Fringes are out of phase one from each other by 1∕4 of period, which were processed by the Rising Sun Moire´ software to produce packed phase and further on, the unpacked fringes. Tested object was placed on a goniometer and rotate to generate four surfaces topography. These four surveyed surfaces were assembled by means of a SCILAB software, obtaining a three column matrix, corresponding to the object coordinates xi, also having elevation values and coordinates corrected as well. The work includes conclusions on the reliability of the proposed method as well as the setup simplicity and of low cost.

This affects the productivity and longevity of the vines. In many cases, the incidence of rainfall and high relative humidity, during most of the vine cycle, leads to a large number of interventions for phytosanitary control. The continuous, and not always correct use of pesticides, causes their residues to be deposited in the environment, leading to changes in the ecosystem, accumulation in non-target organisms and the water, with the potential to cause serious problems for man and his habitat. That matter has highlighted the need for more accurate technologies for the spraying of active ingredients in crops. Therefore, the investigation of more appropriate procedures and equipment is justified, for greater protection of the workers and the microenvironment, as well as for higher efficiency in the application of active ingredients. Based on the above, a prototype of a confining and recycling sprayer was developed and tested at the Centro de Engenharia e Automacao (CEA) of the Instituto Agronomico (IAC), in Jundiai (Sao Paulo state), between 2017 and 2019 growing seasons. Spray outlets were arranged in vertical ducts and accommodated in two shield panels. The prototype was arranged as a straddle, floating over-the-row. Part of the liquid sprayed, not adhered to the leaves, was collected at the bottom of the shield panels and pumped back into a reservoir for recirculation. Tests were carried out to evaluate the performance as for uniformity of adaxial leaf coverage in the vineyard, using image analysis. The results showed that the mechanical configuration used made it possible to promote significant recovery of the liquid and a satisfactory percentage of leaf coverage.

Four tillage systems were used: heavy disk harrow + leveling harrow (GA), leveling harrow (GN), sowing on straw (SP) without tillage (PD), in the autumn-winter, and chisel plow + leveling harrow in the spring-summer cultivation, except for PD treatment. The research was conducted under field conditions in Candido Mota and Pedrinhas Paulista, Sao Paulo State. Soybean was sowed in the spring-summer season and sunflower in the autumn-winter. The soil aggregates were evaluated before sowing and after sunflower harvest. The use of sunflower crop induced a better soil aggregation in both places, for all tillage systems.

However, technological by small and middle producers implementation to assess this quality is unfeasible, due to high costs of software, equipment as well as operational costs. Based on these considerations, the proposal of this research is to evaluate a new open software that enables the classification system by recognizing fruit shape, volume, color and possibly bruises at a unique glance. The software named ImageJ, compatible with Windows, Linux and MAC/OS, is quite popular in medical research and practices, and offers algorithms to obtain the above mentioned parameters. The software allows calculation of volume, area, averages, border detection, image improvement and morphological operations in a variety of image archive formats as well as extensions by means of "plugins" written in Java.

Research paper thumbnail of Development of a Laser Profilometer for the Generation of 3D- Models to Measure the Volume of Fertilizer Applied by Fertilizer Sowers

Engenharia na agricultura, Dec 31, 2020

The image of a laser-line projected onto a surface of an object is captured and treated in image-analysis software, which calculates its profile. The union of a sequence of profiles allows the construction of the 3D-digital models of objects. The objective of this work was to develop a methodology and to build a prototype of a threedimensional scanner based on laser triangulation. A prototype was built, with a gantry structure containing a car on which are a laser diode and a camera. This car is driven by an endless shaft driven by an electric motor with variable speed. When moving the car, the laser module produces a line on the surface of the object that is filmed by a camera fixed at a known angle, obtaining the necessary information to generate the 3D model of the object. Tests were made on regular objects: hubcaps, pyramids and cobblestones and the results showed that the 3D-models produced had the same dimensions. Tests were also made on irregular objects such as soil surface and fruit. The prototype proved to be solid for generating 3D models of objects.

Four tillage systems were used: heavy disk harrow + leveling harrow (GA), leveling harrow (GN), sowing on straw (SP) without tillage (PD), in the autumn-winter, and chisel plow + leveling harrow in the spring-summer cultivation, except for PD treatment. The research was conducted under field conditions in Candido Mota and Pedrinhas Paulista, Sao Paulo State. Soybean was sowed in the spring-summer season and sunflower in the autumn-winter. The soil aggregates were evaluated before sowing and after sunflower harvest. The use of sunflower crop induced a better soil aggregation in both places, for all tillage systems.

However, technological by small and middle producers implementation to assess this quality is unfeasible, due to high costs of software, equipment as well as operational costs. Based on these considerations, the proposal of this research is to evaluate a new open software that enables the classification system by recognizing fruit shape, volume, color and possibly bruises at a unique glance. The software named ImageJ, compatible with Windows, Linux and MAC/OS, is quite popular in medical research and practices, and offers algorithms to obtain the above mentioned parameters. The software allows calculation of volume, area, averages, border detection, image improvement and morphological operations in a variety of image archive formats as well as extensions by means of "plugins" written in Java.

The image of a laser-line projected onto a surface of an object is captured and treated in image-analysis software, which calculates its profile. The union of a sequence of profiles allows the construction of the 3D-digital models of objects. The objective of this work was to develop a methodology and to build a prototype of a threedimensional scanner based on laser triangulation. A prototype was built, with a gantry structure containing a car on which are a laser diode and a camera. This car is driven by an endless shaft driven by an electric motor with variable speed. When moving the car, the laser module produces a line on the surface of the object that is filmed by a camera fixed at a known angle, obtaining the necessary information to generate the 3D model of the object. Tests were made on regular objects: hubcaps, pyramids and cobblestones and the results showed that the 3D-models produced had the same dimensions. Tests were also made on irregular objects such as soil surface and fruit. The prototype proved to be solid for generating 3D models of objects.
