Seed drill
It was invented by Sir. Jethro tull to sow seeds more efficiently inside the soil. The end date of the project was 1701. it is unique because it was the first machine in the agriculture industry with it's part moving.In this project the quality standard is fixed and the time can be optimized as there is no accurate end date given.cost can be accepted as it would be manufactured with low finance. -
Bacillus thuringiensis pesticide
Bacillus thuringiensis toxin was first discovered by a Japanese
biologist named Sir. Shigetane Ishiwatari but it came into use in agricultural industry as a pesticide by farmers in 1920. Its purpose was to kills the insects like flour moth that used to eat the plants like cotton. This is a unique project because it was one of the best pesticides that were used to kill insects at that time when there weren’t many options available. -
Robotic milking
it is a process in which milking of a cow is done with the help of robots. This project was executed with the help of DairyNZ scientists, farmers working with engineers from sensor tec Ltd, The University of Waikato and the Waikato Automatic Milking Farmer Group. It has revolutionized the way the agridairy industry used to work and has completely replaced human labour with machines. The quality in this project is fixed, the time is optimized and the cost is accepted. -
(GEO-LAND 2) Mapped land-use data for farmers and forest managers
To monitor the land management activities and the changes in vegetation, a need for the monitoring system arises. So, the comprehensive new satellite based earth monitoring system provides open mapping data to boost the monitoring accuracy and management system.
The system is designed to offers basic Geo-information on land by focusing on biophysical parameters such as –
• Radiation
• Water availability
• Vegetation coverage -
Good timing, Better grapes and Best wine.
To make the best wine, grapes harvesting is critical activity in the project. So, choosing the right time is key decision for the process of making wine.
The Wine pen is a handheld device which is developed by European Union funded 'PREMIVM' project. The innovation and technology used to create this wine pen will help the wine growers to get the information which they need in a very faster way. It is a type of conventional tool for them. -
Climate change bad effects on food generation.
Global warming is often associated with challenges concerning food security. The untimely rain, continuous increase of temperature and discontinuity due to global climate shift would have serious effect on our agriculture business.The main purpose of the project is to find the potential impact of climate change over food and agricultural products and to generate more data which help to find better place, soil and environment for the specific type of agriculture. -
Economic & Environmental Analysis of Dairy Farms with Barns
There were a many reasons of why the farmers built a barn. There main reasons are overwhelmingly for farm management, better control of pasture and pugging, better working conditions reduction of pugging in wet weather. -
Push button Farming
After three years of planning and research then this project complete. The crops are grown either on the farm’s effluent area that need regressing, where before the planting for dry or liquid effluent will be put on as a one-off application. The plant is control by 22 kilowatt irrigation pump and that can deal with the 70m elevation variation. It’s every time worked by touch screen and auto primer. It turns on to flush any gas or bubbles out of the pump head. -
Myanmar Dairy Excellence Project
The project aim is to give assistance to government of the Republic Union of Myanmar to make a competitive dairy industry which provide
• Qualitative and safe food for consumers
• Profitable Dairy Industry The MDEP was developed in consultation with the Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation’. -
The arsenic in Argentinian Ground water
The world is struggling with high levels of contamination due to presence of arsenic in water supply. Scientist from Argentina collaborating with European funded project to developed a low cost system to produce safe drinking water for people. The project is for removing the contamination (arsenic) from the water which is contaminated from different types of agricultural land and block it from entering to the food chain.
The total project cost is € 688 500.00 -
New ways to make stronger crops
Crop Strengthen is one project which aims to increase understanding of the molecular basis of antibiotic stress tolerance in crops (resistance to non-living environmental factors e.g. drought) and to provide two alternatives to current strategies for increasing food production.
The project has awarded Marie Curie fellowships to five PhD students, who will investigate novel approaches to increasing crop strength and resistance to stress through alternative genetic and genomic, bio-technologies. -
1. Mitigation and cost of on-farm Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This Project on the work done over four years on a range of dairy and sheep and beef farms, including for the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre. In this project discuss about forestry as a carbon sink and possible costs to farmers. In nowadays, the government is considering increasing the amount claimable as safe carbon up to the average amount. Which would reduce the area required to be planted.
