Remote sensing

 Remote Sensing 
                 Beyond the primitive methods of remote sensing our earliest ancestors used to standing on a high mountains or tree to view the landscape.  The modern discipline arose with the development of flight.  The balloonist made photographs of cities from their balloons. The first tactical use was during the civil war. Messenger pigeons, kites, rockets and unmanned balloons were also used for early images. With the exception of balloons, these first, individual images were not particularly useful for map making or for scientific purposes. 
               Systematic aerial photography was developed for military use beginning in World War I and reaching a climax during the Cold War with the use of modified combat aircraft.  A more recent development is that of increasingly smaller sensor pods such as those used by law enforcement and the military, in both manned and unmanned platforms. The advantage of this approach is that this requires minimal modification to a given airframe. Later imaging technologies would include Infra-red, conventional, doppler and synthetic aperture radar 
                 The development of artificial satellites in the latter half of the 20th century allowed remote sensing to progress to a global scale. Instrumentation aboard various Earth observing and weather satellites such as Landsat, the Nimbus and more recent missions such as RADARSAT and UARS provided global measurements of various data for civil, research, and military purposes. Space probes to other planets have also provided the opportunity to conduct remote sensing studies in extra-terrestrial environment, synthetic aperture radar aboard the Magellan spacecraft provided detailed topographic maps of Venus. 
                 Recent developments include, beginning in the 1960s and 1970s with the development of image processing of satellite images. Several research groups in Silicon Valley including NASA, developed Fourier transform techniques leading to the first notable enhancement of imagery data. 
The introduction of online web services for easy access to remote sensing data in the 21st century mainly low/medium-resolution images, like Google Earth, has made remote sensing more familiar to the every one and has popularized the science

Modern agriculture development with the use of new machinery and equipments

MODERN AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THE USE OF NEW MACHINERY EQUIPMENTS:
Ø  Agriculture, with its allied sectors, is unquestionably the largest livelihood provider in India, more so in the vast rural areas. It also contributes a significant figure to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Ø  Sustainable agriculture, in terms of food security, rural employment, and environmentally sustainable technologies such as soil conservation, sustainable natural resource management and biodiversity protection, are essential for holistic rural development.
Ø  Indian agriculture and allied activities have witnessed a green revolution, a white revolution, a yellow revolution and a blue revolution.
Ø  Currently, around 47 per cent of India's population depends on agriculture for a livelihood. And for most of the 21st century, India will remain an agricultural society. One cannot underplay the role of agricultural growth in improving rural incomes and securing India's food and nutritional needs. 
Ø  Our population is expected to be 1.4 billion by 2020. The increasing population, coupled with growing income will generate increased demand for food grains and non-food grain crops. Therefore, Indian agriculture has to achieve a higher growth rate targeted at 4 per cent per annum on a sustainable basis. 
 Initiatives by Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of India:
                       In recent years much emphasis has been given by the Ministry of Agriculture on commercializing Indian agriculture and it is working on strategies to achieve 4 per cent annual growth rate. These include focus on potential areas, regionally-differentiated strategies, crop diversification and the scientific management of natural resources. 
The new initiatives in the form of National Food Security Mission and Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana taken by the Ministry of Agriculture will rejuvenate this sector. 
                       Adequate production and distribution of food has become a high priority and global concern. In the fast changing world and increasing competition in a globalized economy, there is a need for exploiting the available resources to the maximum level and use of best technologies available world over, to cope up with domestic demand of food and also to target export market.
                      North India, specifically Punjab and Haryana, is the most advanced and flourished region of India in terms of technological advancement and adaptation of new technologies by the farming community. 







   Punjab is the Hub of latest agriculture machines & tools which are in high demand not only in India but also world over. Haryana is not lagging behind in terms of technological advancement in agriculture and its adaptation.
Chandigarh, an important city of North India, is an ideal place for organizing AGREX India 2015 for business traders to display and introduce their latest mechanization & technological innovations and product ranges and also for farmers to see all these innovations including machines and technologies at one place. You may launch your products & services among thousands of farmers & agro entrepreneurs who will be visiting this Expo
Global Scenario of Agriculture/Farm Mechanization: 
Ø  Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, The BRICS Nations along with Japan and Turkey are joining the ranks of heavy weight agricultural machinery markets.
According to UNACOMA, India and China were confirmed as the countries with the greatest take-up of tractors with sales of 430,000 and 400,000 units respectively in 2011 in the power categories over 30 hp and not counting the vast numbers of self-propelled machinery.
Ø  Europe was shifted to become the second world market at 136,000 tractors ahead of the United States of America at 84,000 units with the arrival of new and important majors in the market. 
Ø  In consonance of the efforts of Indian Government for making India self sufficient in food grain production and increasing farm income, we Media Today Group is organizing AGREX India 2015 - International Exhibition on Agriculture, Farm Machinery & Agri Processing Technologies at Chandigarh from 20-22 February 2015 which is going to pump in more value additions to the existing technology from all over the world. 
AGREX India 2015, the Mega exhibition concurrently with 7th International Horti Expo 2015, 10th International Flora Expo 2015 and 9th Landscape & Gardening Expo 2015 will, therefore, be an eye opener for the growers, wholesalers, importers, exporters and all other stakeholders of every segment of Agriculture and Farm Machinery, Equipment and allied sectors who want to expand and diversify their business and activities.
AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY, EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS:
The machines are elements that are used to direct the action of forces based energy work, for his part in the agricultural, motor mechanisms used in this work lighten the production and improve farming techniques. Among the most widely used agricultural machines working in the fields mentioned: 
Ø  Tractor: is a very useful agricultural machine, with wheels or designed to move easily on the ground and pulling power enabling successful agricultural work, even in flooded fields. It has two brake pedals and is preparing to pull sledges. There are two types of tractors: the track of stability and strength, and wheels, able to travel to by road, has a higher speed than the track.                 
Ø  Walking Tractor: agricultural machine is a single axle and is operated by handles, have median motor power and strength led to horticultural and ornamental work, can work in strong fields, but is preferably used in construction of gardens.                
Ø  Combine: or mower is a powerful engine agricultural machine, comb cutter to cut the plants mature grain and a long rake that goes before the machine and rotates about a horizontal axis.                  
Ø  Farm equipment: is a group of devices designed to open furrows in the ground, shredding, spraying and fertilizing the soil. 
Ø  Plough: agricultural equipment is designed to open furrows in the earth consists of a blade, fence, plough, bead, bed, wheel and handlebar, which serve to cut and level the land, hold parts of the plough, set shot and to serve as handle. There are various types of ploughs but the best known are:  
Ø  Mould board: plough, formed by the grating blade and mould board 
Ø  Disc plough: disc concave formed by deep grooves to open 
Ø  Shallow ploughing to remove the topsoil 
Ø  Subsoil plough to remove the soil depth.   
Ø  Drag: agricultural equipment is designed to break up the parts and parcels of land that have been removed by the plough, are composed of a frame, which can be made of wood and metal teeth and the latch that attaches to tractor.                   
Ø  Sprayer: it is a farm equipment designed to spray, is composed of a liquid tank, pressure pump, cap, mouth, tank and pressure valve, belts, hose, faucet and nozzle where the liquid to spray out, is insecticide, fungicide or herbicide. The hand sprayer is placed in the back of the sprayer and this has placed in the mouth and nose a special mask to prevent strong odours dismissed by the substance that expels the sprayer will harm.              
Ø  Tillage planter: is a machine to place the seeds on the seedbed without prior tillage.                   
Ø  Fertilizer: agricultural equipment is designed to distribute fertilizer is composed of three main parts: the hopper or storage of fertilizer, the drop tube of fertilizer and fertilizer distributor.
