An example machinery includes a crop management motorized vehicle having an intelligent, modularized image sensor (e.g. camera or video) system that is portable to other crop management vehicles such as a combine, planter or a tillage machine. The image sensor system includes a framework having a bank of procedures for monitoring and control of navigation, spray application, weeding, seeding, machine configuration, and so on, in real time as the machines go through a crop field throughout a crop cycle. One example implementation includes electronic circuits, with more than one set mounted on a platform that facilitates moving the setup to other agricultural machines. The framework captures, preserves and corrects the captured images for real time analysis and response, and for crop yield analysis that is correlated with the machine settings and crop management practices.

Currently there is no viable end to end integrated technology solution platform available to increase overall crop yield nor well established communication platform nor infrastructure for agriculture management, logistics, storage, distribution and delivery.This patent is offering a global solution to this problem where it will provide a consolidated and integrated IoT (internet of things) system platform with AI (artificial intelligence) where data collection, monitoring, control and communication platform are all managed using a single platform.The utility model relates to the technical field of wireless sensing, specifically an agricultural IoT (Internet of Things) monitoring device based on optical fiber sensing, wherein the device can monitor the temperature, humidity, vibration and other parameters of an agricultural cultivation base. The device is characterized in that the device is provided with a microcontroller, a parameter recorder and the parameter recorder is connected with the sensors. For example: soil temperature sensor and humidity sensors, a soil moisture sensor, a soil conductivity sensor, an air temperature and humidity transducer, a soil salinity sensor, etc.The upper computer is connected with the parameter recorder and the air temperature and humidity transducer through a communication circuit and using WiFi mesh network, data is transferred to a remote laptop or smartphone. Data is stored in cloud for predictive data analysis with AI and real time data analysis which automatically or remotely trigger proactive & preventive actions, thereby increasing crop yield, reduce water consumption and food waste during storage and streamlined logistics of food distribution to the market.User has the option to control how often data is generated and the relevant information. User can set automatic trigger to manage proactive and preventive action on the control system. User can also remotely access and manual set future action either via smart phone or tablet based on actionable output from predictive data analytics.This single integrated IoT system platform is providing end to end solution that is reliable, suitable and effective for agriculture, greenhouse, lawn / yard and garden (both indoor and outdoor) applications.This integrated IoT system is also applicable in various sector such as: Geotechnical soil testing, Oil and Gas Industries (drilling, flow control, oil pipeline management, oil refineries management), Air quality and Waste management, Semiconductor fabrication and Chemical Plant management, Oceanography and atmospheric / environmental science data monitoring for global warming, Fisheries / Aquaculture management, Data center and Cloud device management, Enterprise sustainability management, Inventory, logistics and Supply Chain management and Infrastructure (road, bridges, tunnels, dams, airports, electric grid) management.This integrated IoT system is also applicable to detect earthquake and tsunami where the sensor devices are embedded with multiple sensors installed in the buildings, bridges, bus stops, underground pits, lakes, roads, nearby mountains etc, different data can be captured and analyzed for earthquake predictability and structural integrity of the buildings to prevent collapse during earthquake, a smart alert is sent to mobile phones to authorities to minimize death and destruction.

In agriculture when temperature and moisture deviate from the norm two things happen, plant growth suffers and disease flourishes. The Stoller model for plant growth states that proper hormone balance is necessary for optimum growth and performance. When growth conditions deviate from the norm, hormone balance is altered and plant growth suffers. This invention presents evidence to support this model and explain the relationship between hormone levels and plant growth. A clear understanding of this relationship will facilitate crop treatments aimed to eliminate these problems. Although we cannot control the climate, we can control the damage caused by environmental stresses by manipulating the levels and / or ratio of plant hormones in the different plant tissues. By adjusting the levels and / or ratios of hormones, particularly auxin and cytokinins in the root tissue, we can assist the plant in overcoming or compensating for this environmental stress.

The invention discloses a liquid biological humic acid soil repairing agent and its preparation and application methods. The liquid biological humic acid soil repairing agent comprises the following components: by weight, 48-64% of cane molasses, 26-38% of humic acid and 8-15% of beneficial bacteria. According to the invention, cane molasses produced in sugar industry is utilized, and a beneficial organism and humic acid are added. The above three components undergo fermentation so as to produce the liquid biological humic acid soil repairing agent which is used for watering, foliage spray or drop irrigation. By the adoption of the liquid biological humic acid soil repairing agent, soils can be restored and purified, plant diseases and insect pests are minimized, yield of crops is raised, and crop quality is improved. In addition, production technology is simple and production cost is low.
