1. Developing Of A Monitoring System Of Cutting, Carrying, And Transportation Of Sugar Cane In Order To Manage FleetIn the productive process for obtaining sugar cane products, the costs associated to the activities of harvesting (cut), carrying and transport (CCT), represent great part of the final cost of the product. In order to reduce this costs new technologies should be adopted in the agricultural mechanization using precision agriculture methods. The use of the information technology combined with the use of intelligent components can help to improve the performance of machines and equipments and... D.G. Cerri, P.S. Magalh |
2. Performance Evaluation of STICS Crop Model to Simulate Corn Growth Attributes in Response to N Rate and Climate VariationsImproving nitrogen use efficiency in crop plants contributes to increase the sustainability of agriculture. Crop models could be used as a tool to test the impact of climatic conditions on crop growth under several N management practices and to refine N application recommendation and strategy. STICS, a crop growth simulator developed by INRA (France), has the capability to assimilate leaf area index (LAI) from remote sensing to re-initialize input parameters, such as seeding date and seeding...

3. NDVI 'Depression' In Pastures Following GrazingPasture biomass estimation from normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) using ground, air or space borne sensors is becoming more widely used in precision agriculture. Proximal active optical sensors (AOS) have the potential to eliminate the confounding effects of path radiance and target illumination conditions typically encountered using passive sensors. Any algorithm that infers the green fraction of pasture from NDVI must factor in plant morphology and live/dead plant ratio, irrespective... J.S. Stanley, D.W. Lamb, M.G. Trotter, M.M. Rahman |
4. Automatic Soil Penetrometer Measurements And GIS-Based Documentation With The Autonomous Field Robot Platform BoniRobFor a sustainable agriculture, reliable measurements of soil properties and its interpretation are of highest relevance. Until today most of the measurements are carried out manually or by integrating off-line laboratories. Moreover, the number and density of measurement points is always an important aspect with respect to the statistical significance of the results. In this work a fully automatic measurement system has been developed and applied for the first time with free selectable... M. Göttinger, S. Hinck, K. Möller, A. Ruckelshausen, C. Scholz |
5. Advances In Automating Individual Plant Care Of Vegetable CropsAutomation of individual crop plant care in commercial vegetable crop fields has increased practical feasibility and improved efficiency and economic benefit if a systems approach is taken in the engineering design to mechanization that incorporates precision planting techniques. In addition to the optimization in the biological productivity of crop plants when the spatial distribution of crop plants allows their uniform access to nutrients, water and light in an optimum utilization...

6. Design And Construction Of An Ultrasonic Cutting Width Sensor For Full-Feed Type Mid-Sized Multi-Purpose CombinesPrecision agriculture analyzes the spatial variability according to the characteristics of an optimum setting of agricultural materials. To raise the profitability of agriculture and to reduce the environmental impact, technological research and development of precision agriculture has been conducted. In Asian countries such as Japan... Y. Huh, S. Chung, Y. Chae, J. Lee, S. Kim, M. Choi, K. Jung |
7. Research On Measurement Device For NO3- Ion Concentration Of Nutrient SolutionThe management of water and ion concentration in nutrient solution is crucial in precision agriculture. Poor management may leads to the increasing of energy consumption and cost as well as low efficiency. The measurement of ion concentration in nutrient solution is prerequisite for optimal control and management of nutrient solution. Real-time detection of NO3-, as an important component of nitrogenous fertilizer, is always a big problem over the world. The... X. Zhang, Y. Li, K. Xu, X. Sun |
8. Post Processing Software for Grain Yield Monitoring System Suitable to Korean Full-feed CombinesPrecision agriculture (PA) has been adopted in many countries and crop and country specific technologies have been implemented for different crops and agricultural practices. Although PA technologies have been developed mainly in countries such as USA, Europe, Australia, where field sizes are large, need of PA technologies has been also drawn in countries such as Japan and Korea, where field sizes are relatively small (about 1 ha). Although principles are similar, design concept and practical... K. Lee, S. Chung, J. Lee, S. Kim, Y. Kim, M. Choi |
9. soil2data: Concept for a Mobile Field Laboratory for Nutrient AnalysisKnowledge of the small-scale nutrient status of arable land is an important basis for optimizing fertilizer use in crop production. A mobile field laboratory opens up the possibility of carrying out soil sampling and nutrient analysis directly on the field. In addition to the benefits of fast data availability and the avoidance of soil material transport to the laboratory, it provides a future foundation for advanced application options, e.g. a high sampling density, sampling of small sub-fields...

10. Map Whiteboard As Collaboration Tool for Smart Farming Advisory ServicesPrecision agriculture, a branch of smart farming, holds great promise for modernization of European agriculture both in terms of environmental sustainability and economic outlook. The vast data archives made available through Copernicus and related infrastructures, combined with a low entry threshold into the domain of AI-technologies has made it possible, if not outright easy, to make meaningful predictions that divides individual agricultural fields into zones where variable rates...

11. Should We Increase or Decrease the Fertilization in the Zones with the Highest Crop Productivity Potential?Introduction. In traditional farming, fertilizers are applied homogeneously on the agricultural fields taking into account the average crop recommendation. As most fields are not homogeneous, this results in overfertilization of certain zones and underfertilization of other zones. The excess of nitrate leaches to the surface and groundwaters which causes problems with the water quality. Precision fertilizer management has been proposed to reduce these negative effects.... A.

12. Evaluation of Nitrogen Recommendation Tools for Winter Wheat in NebraskaAttaining both high yield and high nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) simultaneously remains a current research challenge in crop production. Digital ag technologies for site-specific N management have been demonstrated to improve NUE. This is due to the ability of digital technologies to account for the spatial and temporal distribution of crop N demand and available soil N in the field which varies greatly according to... J.
