Technology Introduction

In 2013, thirty-eight treadle pumps (TPs) were installed as low-cost technology introduction for small-scale irrigation in eastern Ethiopia. The pilot project also included training of selected farmers on well excavation, installation and maintenance of pumps. In June 2015, researchers visited nine of the 38 TP sites, and found only two functional TPs. The rest were replaced with a new technology. Farmers who adopted the new technology stated that the limited water output and high labor demand of the conventional TP did not optimally fulfil their irrigation water requirements. The new hybrid technologies have spread quickly to more than one hundred households due to three key factors. First, farmers’ innovative modifications of the initial excavation technique addressed the discharge limitations of the conventional TP by excavating boreholes with wider diameter. Second, community ownership of the new technology, including local skills used in well drilling and fabricating excavation implement, made the new irrigation technology affordable and accessible to a higher number of households, leading to faster diffusion of the technology. Third, this innovation has spread organically without any external support. Adoption of the new technology enabled some farmers to accumulate enough resources to diversify their livelihoods into non-farm activities.

Technology Introduction

In 2013, thirty-eight treadle pumps (TPs) were installed as low-cost technology introduction for small-scale irrigation in eastern Ethiopia. This pilot project also trained six farmers on tube well excavation, installation and maintenance of pumps. In June 2015, researchers visited nine of the 38 TP villages, and found only two functional TPs. The rest were replaced with a new technology developed by the trained farmers. Adopters of the new technology stated that the limited water output and high labor demand of the conventional TP did not optimally fulfil their irrigation water requirements. The new technology had spread quickly to more than one hundred households due to three key factors. First, farmers’ innovative modifications of the initial excavation technique addressed the discharge limitations of the conventional TP by excavating boreholes with wider diameter. Second, local ownership of the new technology, including skills used in well drilling and manufacturing excavation implement, made the new irrigation technology affordable and accessible to the majority of households. Third, this innovation spread organically without any external support, confirming its sustainability. Farmers, empowered by training, gained more control in developing technology options tailored to local needs and conditions of their communities.

Technology Introduction

Under the current situation, China's rapid economic development, various new science, emerge in an endless stream of new technology, under the environment of coal mine industry, seize the opportunity, by virtue of its original advantages, coupled with technology introduction and innovation consciousness of the play, ushered in a new period of development, into the modern coal mining era. CAN bus technology is a new technology which has the typical data transmission in coal mining, the introduction of a certain degree of CAN bus technology, not only improve the efficiency of data transmission, at the same time, in terms of reliability and greatly enhance. In this paper, to a certain extent on the introduction of the CAN bus technology, and on this basis, based on the CAN bus in the coal mine field data transmission reliability research and analysis

This pilot project also trained six farmers on tube well excavation, as well as the installation and maintenance of pumps. In June 2015, researchers visited nine of the thirty-eight TP villages and found only two TPs functioning as originally installed. The rest were replaced with a new technology developed by the trained farmers. Farmers, empowered by training, gained more control in developing technology options tailored to local needs and conditions of their communities. Adopters of the new technology stated that the limited water output and high labor demand of the conventional TP did not optimally fulfil their irrigation water requirements.

First, farmers’ innovative modifications of the initial excavation technique addressed the discharge limitations of the conventional TP by excavating boreholes with wider diameter. Second, local ownership of the new technology, including skills used in well drilling and manufacturing excavation implements, made the modified irrigation technology affordable and accessible to the majority of households. Third, this innovation spread organically without any external support, confirming its sustainability.

Technological Science

The application of technology in agriculture has become several indicators of progress and developments in technological science. The more specific technology used in IoT (Internet of Things) that the use of the internet network is one of the main factors in developing automated technological machines to improve agricultural systems. Therefore, the use of IoT is very useful in agriculture, especially in strawberry cultivation, which requires s control in every maintenance process, namely for several main activities such as watering, fertilizing, and monitoring temperature and plant conditions in real-time. Through this research and development, it is hoped that the IoT system will be designed using Node-RED as visual programming and will connect to the MQTT protocol as a protocol in data and information transmission. Node-RED is the new technology that use to facilitate the process of implementing the IoT system and controlling and monitoring every data and order received and made. The research method starts from data collection, designing models, collecting tools and materials, conducting tests, implementing tools to objects, and evaluating each implementation process that has been running. The hopes and targets of the Greenhouse Monitoring and Controlling System, Study Case “Strawberry” can reduce farmer labor, time efficiency with a automation system, and be able to maintain the optimal growth process of strawberry plants.
