Intensive clean livestock production system with rational Voisin grazing Case study: Bendavales farm–Versalles–Colombia

Abstract

This research tested the impact on the soil when implementing a Clean Intensive Livestock Production System (CILPS) via Voisin Rational Grazing (VRG). The methodology consists of the characterization of soil-grass-cattle management, including the soil chemical and biological analysis in the case study farm and reference land (comparison between extensive and CILPS-VRG systems). In addition, the VRG impact on agroecological management was evaluated by calculating the Soil Organic Matter Indicator (SOMI). Once the samples were processed, the T-Student test was applied, verifying the homogeneity of variances (F-Fischer) for the chemical variables and the Kruskal-Wallis test for the biological variables. The results identified substantial differences in some edaphic parameters such as organic matter, percentage of organic carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and calcium. Moreover, to diversify nematodes and differences in the Rhabdhitids sp., the process characterized products from the natural organic fertilization in the soil with VRG. Finally, the calculation of the SOMI with a value of 41.6 for VRG indicates soil with no alteration or natural balance.

Greenhouse Monitoring System Using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) Based on IoT

“…With the application of modern information technology, wireless communication technology, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Internet of Things (IoT) technology, and low-power embedded technology in the greenhouse control system, the greenhouse environmental control system in general is moving in the direction of wireless, networked, intelligent development. Especially in recent years, the rapid development of mobile Internet and the emergence of wireless communication such as 5G have ensured the reliability of IOT data transmission and provided the necessary conditions for real-time monitoring [4]. Make it possible for people to monitor the information they need anytime and anywhere.…”
