Thank you to everyone who submitted abstracts to the 16th ICPA by the 31 October deadline. We had a terrific surge of submissions the final week. We also had a number of requests to submit an abstract after the deadline. We have allowed for these later submissions and we want to be fair to everyone, so we are extending the deadline to Friday, 1 December 2023. 

 

Due to the need to review all abstracts in a timely manner we will need to maintain this as the final deadline for submissions. 

 

Abstracts can be submitted online at https://www.ispag.org/abstracts.

 

Information about the full paper submissions including a template can be found at Author Instructions.

 

If you have any questions about submitting or the conference, please contact abstracts@ispag.org or phone +1217-762-7955. 

Just as ag technology is always updating, so is The Ohio State University's Precision University. This year the focus is Using Ag Technology to Manage 2022 Challenges​. Based on feedback from last year, it will be delivered in 2 webinars and a half-day, in-person event. 

The webinars are free to attend while the in-person event cost of $35. One can register for one or all three events @http://go.osu.edu/PrecisionU.

 

We have multiple sponsorship opportunities. To be a part of Precision University, check out sponsor levels @http://go.osu.edu/PrecisionUSponsor.

 

You can view information from our 2020 Precision University event on Combating Compaction here and the 2021 webinar series addressing reduced working days here.

 

Please reach out to Amanda Douridas (douridas.9@osu.edu) or Dr. John Fulton (fulton.20@osu.edu) with any questions.  
 

Sensing Approaches for Precision Agriculture aims to bring together the ‘state of the art’ of the most popular sensing techniques and the current state of research on the application of sensors in Precision Agriculture (PA). Sensing is of great value in PA because it provides cheap and immediate data for management. This book gives a broad overview of sensing in PA and a coherent introduction for new professionals and research scientists. Readers are introduced to the potential applications of a range of different sensors, how they should be used properly and their limitations for use in PA. Chapters on specific topics and case studies provide depth and enable implementation of the methods by users. A general introduction about sensing techniques in PA is followed by Chapters 2–9 on the most important specific techniques in sensing and Chapters 10–13 include mini-case studies, each showing cutting-edge applications for different sensing methods. Finally, there is an Epilogue on how we expect sensors and analysis to develop.

 

This book is edited by ISPA members Ruth Kerry and Alexandre Escolà.
