1. Maximizing Agriculture Equipment Capacity Using Precision Agriculture TechnologiesGuidance systems are one of the primary Precision Agriculture technologies adopted by US farmers. While most practitioners establish their initial AB lines for fields based on previous management patterns, a potential exists in conducting analyses to establish AB lines or traffic patterns which maximize field capacity. The objective of this study was to... A.M. Poncet, T.P. Mcdonald, G. Pate, B. Tisseyre, J.P. Fulton |
2. Towards Automated Pneumatic Thinning Of Floral Buds On Pear TreesThinning of pome and stone fruit is an important horticultural practice that is used to enhance fruit set and quality by removing excess floral buds. As it is still mostly conducted through manual labor, thinning comprises a large part of a grower’s production costs. Various thinning machines developed in recent years have clearly demonstrated that mechanization of this technique is both feasible and cost effective. Generally, these machines still lack sufficient selectivity... N. Wouters, R. Van beers, B. De ketelaere, T. Deckers, J. De baerdemaeker, W. Saeys |
3. Assessing the Variability in Cover Crop Growth Due to Management Practices and Biophysical Conditions Using a Mixed Modeling ApproachPlanting winter cover crops provides numerous agronomic and environmental benefits. Cereal rye, which is a commonly planted cover crop in Ohio, when established, offers advantages such as recycling residual nitrogen in the soil, enhancing soil organic matter, and reducing nutrient loss. However, understanding cover crop growth is challenging due to field management and weather conditions, and insights using traditional methods are limited. Remote sensing offers a cost-effective and timely alternative... K. Kc, S. Khanal, N. Bello, S. Culman |
