1. Field Evaluation of Automated Estrus Detection Systems - Meeting Farmers' ExpectationAutomated systems for oestrus detection are commonly marketed as a suitable, or in some cases, a higher performing alternative to visual observation. Farmers, particularly those with larger herds relying on less experienced staff, view the perceived benefits of automated systems as both economic and physical, with expectations of improved oestrus detection efficiency with lower labour input. There is little evidence-based information available on the field performance of these systems to... B.T. Dela rue, C. Kamphuis, J.G. Jago, C.R. Burke |
2. Management Of Remote Imagery For Precision AgricultureSatellite and airborne remotely sensed images cover large areas, which normally include dozens of agricultural plots. Agricultural operations such as sowing, fertilization, and pesticide applications are designed for the whole plot area, i.e. 5 to 20 ha, or through precision agriculture. This takes into account the spatial variability of biotic and of abiotic factors and uses diverse technologies to apply inputs at variable rates, fitted to the needs of each small defined area, i.e. 25 to 200...
