Background: Chromatography permits chemical components' separation, identification, and quantification in complex mixtures. Chromatographic methods have various applications, which include the determination of an agrochemical solvent percentage and its utilization in the food-processing industry. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC) are essential for agriculture. Both types are used in numerous research studies today thanks to their versatility, sensitivity, reproducibility, and quickness. Aim: To discuss the main results of studies that include GC and HPLC in agriculture. Materials and methods: The study relied on a compilation of recent papers, where these techniques play a critical role in this area of science. Results: The utilization of GC and HPLC in agriculture contributed to relevant results, from the analysis of fatty acids profile in the formulation of a diet for animal nutrition, to the determination and quantification of agrochemical residues in plants, the detection of contaminants in the diets, and drug residues that compromise the lives of animals. Conclusions: The use of chromatography is an essential methodology for biochemical, toxicological, structural, and agro-industrial studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Past literature has reported many successful cases about crops in greenhouses. The main function of greenhouses is to recreate and keep adequate and controlled conditions of light, humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide, and pesticides, among others, in a confined space to grow plants for diverse purposes. However, those conditions can be potentially harmful to humans that work in greenhouses. An alternative to overcome this is the application of robotics in those agricultural sites, adequately applying artificial intelligence and mechanical subsystems that are part of a robot. This paper describes a literature review of research and development of robots used in activities such as spraying pesticides and for harvesting in greenhouses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The control of plagues with chemical products still constitutes a problem in the agriculture in the world, First to the affectation to the environment, Secondly the economic effects are increased when the treatments are not carried out with the required quality; in this situation the spraying machine plays a decisive paper in the application of the chemical products. In the study was used the spraying machine in the treatment of the fruit trees, that use current of air for the transfer of the plaguicida drop toward the tree. In the cultivation of fruit the attack of plagues can produce losses of until 25% of decrease of the yields in the less severe cases. This study consists of determining the relationship between the parameters of the fan and the quality of work of the spraying machine; this knowledge will permit to select the most appropriate spraying machine to use in each case. The work is based on the use of the experimental design 2³ to determine a mathematical model that expresses the relationship of the parameters of the fan and the quality of the spraying machine. The results demonstrate in the model that when increasing the uniformity of air exit speed and the wide of exit difusor of the fan, an increase in the quality work of the spraying machine take place.
