Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the atmosphere, the...

Area of Science:

Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)
Precision Agriculture

Background:

Wireless sensor networks (smart dust) offer advantages like small size, low power, and integration for green applications.
Green applications are crucial in intelligent environments and pervasive computing.
Evaluating new WSN platforms and routing algorithms is essential for advancing these technologies.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a novel wireless sensor network platform for precision agriculture.
To assess the performance of its embedded operating system and routing algorithm.
To compare hierarchical and flat routing strategies using a modified LORA-CBF algorithm.

Main Methods:

Developed and tested a new wireless sensor network platform.
Implemented and compared hierarchical and flat routing algorithms.
Utilized a modified LORA-CBF (location-based routing algorithm using cluster-based flooding) with residual battery energy monitoring.
Tested the network in a small-scale watermelon field.

Main Results:

The modified LORA-CBF routing algorithm demonstrated effective integration with both flat and hierarchical strategies.
The flat routing algorithm showed superior performance with the modified LORA-CBF in the small-scale agricultural network.
Cluster-based flooding addressed scalability concerns in the WSN.

Conclusions:

The evaluated WSN platform, featuring a modified LORA-CBF algorithm, is suitable for precision agriculture applications.
The flat routing strategy is more effective for this platform in small-scale agricultural settings.
The integration of residual battery energy monitoring enhances WSN efficiency.
