1. Development of a Multiband Sensor for Citrus Black Spot Disease DetectionCitrus black spot (CBS), or Guignardia citricarpa, is known as the most destroying citrus fungal disease worldwide. CBS causes yield loss as a result of early fruit drop, and it leaves severely blemished and unmarketable fruit. While leaves usually remain symptomless, CBS generates various forms of lesions on citrus fruits including hard spot, cracked spot, and virulent spot. CBS lesions often appear on maturing fruit, starting two months before maturity. Warm temperature and sunlight exposure... A. Pourreza, W. Lee, J. Lu, P. Roberts |
2. Use of UAV Acquired Imagery As a Precision Agriculture Method for Measuring Crop Residue in Southwestern Ontario, CanadaResidue management on agriculture land is a practice of great importance in southwestern Ontario, where soil management practices have an important effect on Great Lakes water quality. The ability of tillage or planting system to maintain soil residue cover is currently measured by using one or more of the common methods, line transect (e.g. knotted rope, Meter stick) and photographic (grid, script, and image analysis) methods. Each of these techniques has various advantages and disadvantages;... A. Laamrani, A. Berg, M. March, A. Mclaren, R. Martin |
3. Limitations of Yield Monitor Data to Support Field-scale ResearchPrecision agriculture adoption on farms continues to grow globally on farms. Today, yield monitors have become standard technologies on grain, cotton and sugarcane harvesters. In recent years, we have seen industry and even academics leveraging the adoption of precision agriculture technologies to conduct field-scale, on-farm research. Industry has been a primary driver of the increase in on-farm research globally through the development of software to support on-farm research. ... J.P. Fulton, S.A. Shearer, A. Gauci, A.
