A microwave system connected to a IoT infrastructure for weed seed bank depletion

The paper presents a general preliminary overview of a system connected to a communication infrastructure in order to improve the agriculture. The core of the system is the weed seed bank depletion by means of microwave based heating solution. The microwave technique is supported by a vision system, which can be used both in visible and infrared band according to different crops in order to maximize its efficiency, and a GPS based localization system. All the parameters to program and control the proper working of the systems, as well as measured data, are available with a specific application, making the whole system perfectly integrated in the world of Internet of Thing (IoT). Some technology solutions are addressed and some possible choices to realize each section are reported. The description of the whole system is reported as well.
