Agriculture Technologies (AgTech) and Irrigation Market Grows Worldwide/Hi Tech Greenhouses Become Commercial

Around the world, researchers, agricultural equipment firms, GPS makers and other technology firms are investing heavily in the development of advanced technology for the agricultural sector. These new technologies range from robotic systems to plant, nurture and harvest crops, fruit and vegetables, to wireless sensors that control irrigation via state of the art automated drip systems. The technology comes at a time when it is extremely difficult for many farmers in the U.S. to find fruit and vegetable pickers and other manual laborers.

Farm Robotics: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) operates an experimental greenhouse where cherry tomatoes are grown entirely under the care of small robots. Sensors attached to each plant gauge water, food and/or fertilizer needs, while robots water and feed the plants as necessary. Vision sensors measure when a plant is ripe, and the fruit is then picked by a mechanical arm. Other examples of robotic agriculture systems include a rice planter developed by the National Agricultural Research Centre in Japan and a grapevine pruning prototype made by San Diego, California-based Vision Robotics.
