1. Exploiting the Dmc Satellite Constellation for Applications in Precision AgricultureThis paper presents the unique capabilities of the DMC constellation of optical sensors, and examples of how a number of organisations around the world are exploiting this powerful data source for applications in precision farming. The DMC consists of five satellites built in the UK by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, each carrying a wide swath (650km) optical sensor. It is an international programme of satellite ownership and groundstations, with joint campaigns being coordinated centrally... P. Stephens, S. Mackin, G. Holmes |
2. Use of Crop Canopy Reflectance Sensor in Management of Nitrogen Fertilization in Sugarcane in BrazilGiven the difficulty to determine N status in soil testing and lack of crop parameters to recommend N for sugarcane in Brazil raise the necessity of identify new methods to find crop requirement to improve the N use efficiency. Crop canopy sensor, such as those used to measure indirectly chlorophyll content as N status indicator, can be used to monitor crop nutritional demand. The objective of this experiment was to assess the nutritional status of the sugarcane fertilized with different nitrogen... S.G. Castro, G.M. Sanches, G.M. Cardoso, A.E. Silva, H.C. Franco, P.S.
