Abstract

Avocado is a fruit with high export demand, in Peru with an economy based on agriculture, this fruit occupies third place as an agricultural export product. To control a better quality of production of this fruit, it is necessary a constant control of the characteristics of the agricultural soil, however it is done slowly and costly for the farmer of low or medium production, which generates greater possibilities for loss of plantations and consequently a decrease in export possibilities and economic growth. For these reasons, a robot has been developed for the analysis of agricultural land in avocado crops using radio frequency allowing an analysis of the various factors of agricultural soil that influence the growth of avocados, such as: humidity, pH control and macronutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. In addition, a simple interface was developed so that, after collecting the data, the farmer can read the results in multi-layer colored maps and perform the necessary actions to take care of the plants in a shorter time that is currently done.
