1. Active Sensor Performance – Dependence to Measuring Height, Light Intensity and Device TemperatureFor land use management, agriculture, and crop management spectral remote sensing is widely used. Ground-based sensing is particularly advantageous allowing to directly link on-site spectral information with agronomic algorithms. Sensors are nowadays most frequently used in site-specific oriented applications of fertilizers, but similarly site-specific applications of growth regulators, herbicides and pesticides become more often adopted. Generally little is known about the effects of... B. Mistele, U. Schmidhalter, S. Kipp |
2. Adoption Of Precision Agriculture In Sweden – The Case Of Soil MapsAgriculture is facing great challenges in a world of changing climate and increased responsibility to find sustainable solutions to problems on both a local and a global scale, while agriculture at the same time faces higher costs for many inputs. Making decisions under such complex conditions is a delicate task. Precision agriculture is considered by many people as a tool to improve the efficiency of use of inputs and thereby improve resource utilization and reduction... J. Lindblom, C. Lundström, M.

3. Biological Soil Mapping - Infesttion By Plasmodiophora Brassicae And Soil CharacteristicsClubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a soilborne pathogen that causes severe yield losses in many Brassica crops. It is a increasing problem in many Brassica growing countries. The spores survive for 15-20 years and might cause significant yield losses (>10%), already when 20% of plant are infected. An infestation with a couple of thousands spores/g soil is considered to have the potential to give such significant losses.... C. Aberger, A. Wallenhammar, A. Jonsson |
4. Control System Applied To No-Till Seeding For High-Quality OperationA high quality crop seeding operation should enable a rapid and uniform establishment of a desired plant population. Therefore, a no-till seeder must provide a seeding environment that allows the absorption of water by seeds and appropriate temperature and aeration conditions for germination and emergence processes. To stimulate these processes, the seed needs full contact with soil in order to accelerate the absorption of water and oxygen. Covering the furrow with straw is another important... A.G. Araujo, A.D.
