Abstract:
The minimization of ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions from slurry management is crucial in meeting emission reduction targets, and ensuring the sustainability of the agricultural sector. Whilst there are gains to be made across the wide range of manure management approaches, there is considerable interest in technological advancements, in particular sensors, to add further value. In this paper, an evaluation of existing sensor research in the detection and determination of ammonia and greenhouse gases is conducted. The advantages and disadvantages of the sensors used are summarized. It is found that while sensors are useful tools in smart agriculture, their use remains largely focused on measurement and descriptive analytics, with limitations still present in their application as predictive analytics for efficient slurry management. This paper emphasizes the need for further research into the application of sensors for minimization of emissions in slurry management for sustainable agriculture.
