Harnessing Technological Advancements for Enhanced Crop Management: A Study on Capsicum Phenology and Automation in Agriculture

Abstract

Background Current advancements in communication and information have important impacts on the agricultural sector. Technology has been instrumental in developing innovative approaches to enhancing farming productivity and efficiency while also addressing environmental concerns. With the aid of technology, researchers can collect and analyze vast amounts of agricultural data, enabling a deeper understanding of farming practices and facilitating more informed decision-making through cutting-edge techniques. Methods This study focused on the analysis of key agricultural crop parameters, including temperature, humidity, and soil moisture, across various phenological stages of Capsicum cultivation. Statistical hypothesis tests, including t tests and ANOVA, were conducted to identify significant differences in temperature, humidity, and soil moisture across the phenological stages. Results The results demonstrated substantial variability in these parameters, emphasizing the importance of tailored crop management strategies. Conclusion The insights gained from this statistical analysis can inform the development of autonomous crop management systems that adapt to specific crop needs, thereby enhancing productivity and sustainability in agriculture.
