UColleen Josephson, uprofesa osizayo wobunjiniyela kagesi kanye nekhompyutha eNyuvesi yaseCalifornia, eSanta Cruz, wakhe uhlobo lwethegi yemvamisa yomsakazo engafakwa ngaphansi komhlaba futhi ibonise amaza omsakazo avela kumfundi ongaphezulu komhlaba, angabanjelwa ngumuntu, athwalwe yidrone noma afakwe emotweni. Inzwa ingatshela abalimi ukuthi umswakama ungakanani enhlabathini ngokusekelwe esikhathini esithatha lawo maza omsakazo ukwenza uhambo.
Umgomo kaJosephson ukuthuthukisa ukusetshenziswa kokubona kude ezinqumweni zokunisela.
“Isisusa esibanzi ukuthuthukisa ukunemba kokunisela,” kusho uJosephson. “Izifundo ezingamashumi eminyaka zibonisa ukuthi uma usebenzisa ukunisela okusekelwe ezinzwa, wonga amanzi futhi ugcina isivuno esikhulu.”
Kodwa-ke, amanethiwekhi ezinzwa zamanje ayabiza kakhulu, adinga amaphaneli elanga, izintambo kanye nokuxhumeka kwe-inthanethi okungasebenzisa izinkulungwane zamaRandi endaweni ngayinye yokuhlola.
Okubalulekile ukuthi umfundi kuzodingeka adlule eduze kwethegi. Ulinganisela ukuthi ithimba lakhe lingayisebenza ngaphakathi kwamamitha ayi-10 ngaphezu komhlabathi futhi ifinyelele phansi ngemitha elilodwa emhlabathini.
UJosephson nethimba lakhe bakhe i-prototype ephumelelayo yale tag, ibhokisi okwamanje elingangebhokisi lezicathulo eliqukethe ithegi yemvamisa yomsakazo eqhutshwa amabhethri ambalwa e-AA, kanye nesifundi esingaphezulu komhlaba.
Exhaswe yisibonelelo esivela kwi-Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research, uhlela ukuphinda lokhu kuhlola ngesibonelo esincane futhi enze amashumi awo, anele ukuhlolwa kwensimu emapulazini aphethwe ngokwezentengiselwano. Ukuhlolwa kuzoba ngamahlamvu aluhlaza kanye namajikijolo, ngoba lezo yizitshalo eziyinhloko eSalinas Valley eduze kwaseSanta Cruz, kusho yena.
Inhloso eyodwa ukuthola ukuthi isignali izohamba kahle kangakanani ema-canopy anamaqabunga. Kuze kube manje, esiteshini, banamathegi agqitshwe eduze kwemigqa econsayo afinyelela kumamitha angu-2.5 futhi bathola ukufundwa kwenhlabathi okunembile.
Ochwepheshe bokunisela baseNyakatho-ntshonalanga bawuncoma lo mbono — ukunisela ngokunemba kuyabiza ngempela — kodwa babenemibuzo eminingi.
UChet Dufault, umlimi osebenzisa amathuluzi okunisela azenzakalelayo, uyawuthanda lo mqondo kodwa wenqaba umsebenzi odingekayo ukuze kusondele inzwa eduze kwethegi.
“Uma kufanele uthumele othile noma wena ngokwakho … unganamathisela i-soil probe ngemizuzwana eyi-10 kalula,” kusho yena.
UTroy Peters, uprofesa wobunjiniyela bezinhlelo zezinto eziphilayo eWashington State University, ubuze ukuthi uhlobo lomhlabathi, ubuningi, ukuthungwa kanye nokuqina kwawo kuthinta kanjani ukufundwa nokuthi indawo ngayinye ingadinga yini ukulinganiswa ngayinye.
Amakhulu ezinzwa, ezifakwe futhi zinakekelwa ochwepheshe benkampani, axhumana ngomsakazo ngesamukeli esisodwa esisebenza ngephaneli yelanga eqhele ngamamitha angu-1,500, bese sidlulisela idatha efwini. Impilo yebhethri akuyona inkinga, ngoba labo ochwepheshe bavakashela inzwa ngayinye okungenani kanye ngonyaka.
Izibonelo zikaJosephson zizwakala eminyakeni engama-30 edlule, kusho uBen Smith, uchwepheshe wezokunisela wezobuchwepheshe eSemios. Ukhumbula egqitshwe ngezintambo eziveziwe lapho isisebenzi sasizifaka khona ku-data logger ephathwayo.
Izinzwa zanamuhla zingahlukanisa idatha ngamanzi, ukudla okunomsoco, isimo sezulu, izinambuzane, nokuningi. Isibonelo, izihloli zenhlabathi zenkampani zithatha izilinganiso njalo ngemizuzu eyi-10, okuvumela abahlaziyi ukuthi babone izitayela.
