Currently, the demand by consumption of agricultural products may
be predicted quantitatively; moreover, the variation of harvest and
production by the change of a farm's cultivated area, weather
change, disease, insect damage, etc. is a challenge that has led to
improper control of the supply and demand of agricultural products.
Advancements in IoT and wireless sensor networks in precision
agriculture and the cloud computing technology needed to deploy
them can be used to address and solve these issues. IoT and WSN
Applications for Modern Agricultural Advancements: Emerging
Research and Opportunities is an essential research book that
focuses on the development of effective data-computing operations
on agricultural advancements that are fully supported by IoT, cloud
computing, and wireless sensor network systems and explores
prospective applications of computing, analytics, and networking in
various interdisciplinary domains of engineering. Featuring a range
of topics such as power monitoring, healthcare, and GIS, this book
is ideal for IT practitioners, farmers, network analysts,
researchers, professionals, academicians, industry experts, and
students.
Grow Your Own Botanicals brings together an inspiration collection
of plants that add beauty, structure and interest to a garden as
well as providing an exciting harvest that can be used in
innovative ways in the kitchen and home. If you're buying seed kits
and botanical plant gifts or like to experiment with making your
own drinks, remedies or skin care, this handbook is the must-have
companion gardening guide. Now you can make your hibiscus cordial
for cocktails, herb and spice mix for your roasts or calendula face
cream with your own garden produce. Cinead offers general advice on
getting started - soil, composting, borders, containers, seed
saving, cuttings, intercropping, wildlife and biodiversity -before
moving on to the botanical garden. From plants that might
traditionally be recognised as a botanical, to more unusual exotic
varieties, this collection of 80 botanicals don't need huge space
to grow, but must harvest meaningful amounts to use to flavour
food, drinks and oils. Experiment with herbs like juniper, lemon
balm or nigella, grow evening primrose or liquorice with their
pretty flowers, and try out fruits like Chillean guava or yuzu.
This is gardenening at its most fun and fanciful!
