As with many other sectors the amount of agriculture data based are increasing on a daily basis. However, the application of data mining methods and techniques to discover new insights or knowledge is a relatively a novel research area. In this paper we provide a brief review of a variety of Data Mining techniques that have been applied to model data from or about the agricultural domain. The D...

In agriculture, it is required to establish and integrate food traceability systems and risk management systems in order to improve food safety in the entire food chain. The integrated traceability system for agricultural products was developed, based on innovative technology of RFID and mobile computing. In order to identify individual products on the distribution process efficiently, small RF...

Faced to the present agro-environmental information features, there exist several difficulties to acquire and control the agricultural environment information, such as the scattered information with spatio-tempel traits, the methods of quantification and the huge data amount. This paper constructed an agroenvironmental information service system based on the spatial database, computer network a...

The technology of near-infrared spectroscopy analysis is one of the important ways to test agricultural products inside quality quantitatively. The nearinfrared spectral analysis system which used the technology of sound and light tunable filter (AOTF) can be applied to on-line measurement. The system constructed by AOTF, analysis optimization wavelength together with genetic algorithm, execute...

Increasing diffuse nitrate loading of surface waters and groundwater has emerged as a major problem in many agricultural areas of the world, resulting in contamination of drinking water resources in aquifers as well as eutrophication of freshwaters and coastal marine ecosystems. Although empirical correlations between application rates of N fertilizers to agricultural soils and nitrate contamin...
