In Japan, to scare deer, wild boar, or other pests, farmers usually use a robot wolf with a scary face equipped with a bright red LED. ‘Super Monster Wolf,’ has a height of 50 cm, length 65 cm, and operates with a battery that can be charged using solar energy.

Quoted Independent, Saturday (10/3), the robot uses motion sensors to detect when other mammals are approaching and roaring to respond to wild boar or deer. Super Monster Wolf can cover distances of up to half a mile and has been used to patrol near the city of Kisarazu, Chiba, as a barrier to pests.

The robot is quite effective in replacing the role of a scarecrow. In addition to gaze like a devil, the creature has hidden fur and a growling rubber jaw. Chikao Umezawa of the Japan Agricultural Cooperative said he had seen a significant reduction in the number of plants eaten by animals since the animals were released.

This robot will enter the mass production stage and will soon be commercially available, retailing for 514,000 yen. Tragically, wolves were extinct in Japan in the early 19th century, but are now needed.

Companies such as Festo and Boston Dynamics have led and produced the development of robotic animals, in the form of penguins, butterfly butterflies and animatronic snakes developed using artificial intelligence. AI represents an interesting proposition for the future of agriculture, with robotic bee colonies used to pollinate flowers to be the last idea that should be quite entertaining.

Several types of plants. According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA, air purification plants can absorb hazards from the air, especially in confined spaces such as homes.

This is certainly beneficial, poor air quality, both inside and outside the home, can have adverse side effects, more important for health.

1. Japanese Bamboo (Dracaenas)

Japanese bamboo is an air purifier plant that has a variety of sizes and colors. If you decide to “take care of it,” don’t let the soil in the potted plant get too wet. These air purifier plants can remove transition substances such as formaldehyde, xylene, toluene, benzene, to trichloroethylene.

Keep Japanese bamboo away from pets. Because, if a cat or dog cuts its leaves, these cute animals can be poisoned and cause symptoms such as throwing or drooling.

2. Paris lily (Chlorophytum comosum)

Chlorophytum comosum or known as Paris lily in Indonesia is an air purifier plant that can fling out substitute substances such as formaldehyde and xylene. Although not as beautiful as other ornamental plants, Paris lilies are very useful for the safety of air at home from toxins. Maintenance is also easy, and you only need to flush it with clean water 2-3 times a week. It doesn’t waste a lot of time.

3. Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium)

Chrysanthemum is considered a “dedengkot” in the list of air purifier plants. Its ability to absorb ammonia (a chemical mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen) makes chrysanthemum respected. In addition, this plant can also remove substances that come out formaldehyde, xylene, to benzene from the air.

4. Yellow Palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens)

Despite its small size, the yellow palm can absorb benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, up to xylene from the air at home. This preferred air purifier from Madagascar is easier to grow in bright areas. Therefore, place the yellow palm in a place where the light is always on.

5. Rubber Kebo (Ficus elastica)

Attractive leaf color, making rubber kebo into an air purifier plant that attracts the attention of many people. This plant can remove carbon monoxide and formaldehyde from home air. But still, be careful when maintaining it because rubber kebo is a cause plant.

6. Sri Fortune or Spilled Rice (Aglaonema)

Originating from forests in Asia, Sri fortune or spilled rice can be a beautiful air purifier for collection. Its ability to remove benzene, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde are also considered a plus. Keep these air purifier plants away from your dog’s hood. Because if exposed, there are dangerous side effects that can arise.

7. Ivy Leaves (Hedera helix)

The next air purifier plant is Hedera helix or ivy leaf. It can grow tall vines. They have planted with large pots. Ivy leaves can clean the air from benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, to trichloroethylene. But remember, ivy leaves are very challenging for humans and pets. Keep away from your children can also cause contact dermatitis.

In Japan, there are three large parks known as “sandai teien” (the three largest parks). All of these historic and classy parks have extraordinary beauty. Nevertheless, Japan’s beauty standards are, of course, different from those of other countries. Also, although some are located in Tokyo and Kyoto, these well-known parks have generally located some distance […]

In the same location when Toshiba developed the 80s Floopy Disk, now the place is used to plant lettuce. Likewise with Sharp who put strawberries with the help of LED lights. Fujitsu also did not miss the function of changing their location laboratory once designed semiconductor, which is now used as a location to place vegetables. Japanese tech giants are now known to be busy developing and marketing new types of agricultural technology at their headquarters.

To increase agricultural productivity and replace traditional farming methods, the Japanese technology giant is also learning new ways in the agriculture industry. The agrarian technology approach that is carried out by all the Japanese tech giants is the same as the one around this they did with other high technology.

After the nuclear disaster struck Japan in 2011, Japanese farmers began to look for techniques to increase productivity. High-tech breakthroughs in agriculture are also flourishing. The technology programs offered by all IT giants from Japan are also fairly cheap like the plastic garden (plastic greenhouses) program from Panasonic.

Panasonic’s plastic gardens still use the land for their growing media. But this high-tech garden optimizes natural energy such as sunlight and wind to create an ideal environment for plants. Tanizawa, Head of the Agri-Engineering Project at Panasonic, said that Panasonic’s plastic gardens are worth 2.5 times more than other production plastics. They are targeting this marketing technology aimed at mid-sized agribusiness companies from Japan and from abroad. Panasonic is targeting to earn 5 million yen from the sale of 1,000 plastic garden units in Japan in 2018.

Millennials are the generation closest to technology. They sprang up in a time when technology was proliferating. Therefore, not a few Millennial Generation activities are supported by technology. In other words, they barely know the world without the existence of the technology itself.

If you are one of the elements of the Millennial Generation, you can do not a few things with technology, you know! Not only for communication needs, but you can also use technology to develop agriculture.

In the United States, not a few farmers use modern technology to get rid of pests that disrupt their plants. Yes, pests are indeed among the biggest problems in the world of agriculture. In fact, according to information from data from the United Nations Food Agriculture Organization (FAO), there are still around 20-40% of the world’s harvest loss due to pests and diseases, although there are two million tons of pesticides used every year.

If we say about agricultural tools, the first business that you might think of is a tractor or such machines. But did you know that drones — a tool often used by Millennial Generation to capture portraits and become hits on Instagram — can also be used to help farmers work more effectively and efficiently?

The drone used is a drone equipped with special features

Drones that are used for agricultural needs are indeed a bit contradictory to the drones that are often used by Millennials for photographic needs. Agricultural drones are equipped with special cameras, namely multispectral cameras, to monitor and show in detail the land belonging to farmers.

This camera is similar to a visible lights camera. He can collect data about hidden parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that indicate the location of plants that are affected by many types of pests, for example, fungi, before the fungus had grown more or developed more.

The way the agricultural drones work

With the ease of a multispectral camera, the drone will monitor agricultural land from the air, then indicate plants that are exposed to pests and diseases. This problem can be shown well because agricultural drones are also equipped with digital skill sensors that can show pictures of agricultural land in detail.

With this technique, pesticides can be directly directed at plants that do need it, to the extent that farmers do not need to flush all elements of the land. This certainly will save you the time and cost of buying pesticides. With this kind of technology, wild animals (which are not pests) will live safer because they avoid pesticides.

 The price is quite high, but it can help reduce long-term spending and increase sales of agricultural products

Agricultural drones are not sold online. On AliExpress, this device is marketed at varying prices, ranging from 1.5 million to 50 million Rupiah. The price is determined by the body drone material, camera quality, and different facilities provided. Even though the price is quite high, as a creative Millennial Generation, you won’t feel the loss of buying it. You can rent it to help different farmers who need it.

Agricultural drones can be used for large areas and long periods. Besides, the use of this one agricultural technology will save the cost of purchasing pesticides.

One of the most important affairs in agriculture is the market. In general, the market expects agricultural products that have minimum pesticides and herbicides but still have good quality. With the agricultural drone, the use of pesticides and herbicides will certainly decrease. This will increase the quality and sale of farm products.

AS has a drone supply company, Indonesia has a creative Millennial Generation

In the United States, precisely in Colorado, some companies supply drones to map unhealthy plants in farmers’ fields. The company has the name Agribotix, a company that creates analytical data on agriculture in the Boulder, Colorado, USA area. Although it is only in the US, Agribotix has processed data collected from drones from farms in 50 countries (or more).

Even though in Indonesia you don’t have a company like Agribotix, as a creative Millennial, you have to think of techniques to add to your country’s agriculture with this latest technology. You might be able to establish an agro community in your area, then purchase agricultural drones to rent and use for farmers.
