Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

Abstract

In raising crickets for meat consumption, the growth rate and growth period of crickets are important data used to identify the number of crickets per breeding area at each age. Therefore, the researcher has an idea to create a system for monitoring the growth rate of crickets in a closed system using an infrared camera combined with computer image processing to study the growth and identify the growth period of crickets at each age in order to obtain knowledge that can be disseminated to farmers to improve the breeding process for maximum efficiency.

Objective

ปัจจุบันจิ้งหรีดถือได้ว่าเป็นสัตว์เศรษฐกิจชนิดใหม่ของประเทศไทยซึ่งทางภาครัฐโดยเฉพาะกรมปศุสัตว์ได้เริ่มมีการส่งเสริมให้ภาคการเกษตรได้เพาะเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดเพื่อการบริโภคสำหรับการส่งออก และเป็นการตอบรับกับเทรนด์อุตสาหกรรมอาหารใหม่ (Novel food) ตามแนวทางขององค์การอาหาร และเกษตรแห่งสหประชาชาติ (FAO : Food and Agriculture Organization) ซึ่งคาดการณ์เอาไว้ว่าจำนวนประชากรโลกจะเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่องทำให้ความต้องการแหล่งโปรตีนมีมากขึ้นตามไปด้วย คณะผู้วิจัยจึงมีแนวความคิดที่จะหาสร้างระบบเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดที่มีประสิทธิภาพ

Effect of Seed Priming Technique with Chaetomorpha sp. on Germination and Seedlings Growth of Chili

This study investigated the effects of seed priming with Chaetomorpha sp. seaweed extract on seed germination and seedling growth of chili pepper. The objective was to examine the influence of seaweed extract concentrations on seed germination and seedling development. Seeds were primed in different concentrations of Chaetomorpha sp. extract, compared with a control treatment. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with four replications. Results showed that seed priming with seaweed extract enhanced seed germination characteristics. Primed seeds exhibited improved germination percentage, germination index, and germination rate compared to the control. Additionally, seedlings from primed seeds showed enhanced root and shoot development. This study demonstrates the potential of Chaetomorpha sp. extract as a promising seed priming agent for improving chili pepper seed quality, which can be applied in the production of high-quality chili pepper seedlings.
