Aeroponics is a particular soilless or hydroponic cultivation technique used in greenhouses and in indoor farms. The technical characteristics of aeroponic systems and their advantages, which has recently aroused new interest from the commercial sector, are summarized here.
ABSTRACT
Precision biological control of horticultural pests. Modern agriculture is developing new strategies and technologies to reduce the environmental impact and to fit new market requirements. In this scenario, a forthcoming major challenge is the reduction of insecticide and acaricide use. Herein, we propose a precision agriculture approach for managing arthropod pests in greenhouses, based on the use of artificial intelligence for monitoring and forecasting pest outbreaks, to improve timing and efficacy of biological control agent releases.
