1. Optimization of Forage Harvesting By Automatic Speed Control and Additive ApplicationEfficient use of machines is especially important in forage harvesting due to the short harvesting period and expensive machinery. To achieve the best efficiency, a harvesting machine, such as a loader wagon, should be used with optimal loading. Whereas overloading the machine can cause blockages in the cut-and-feed unit, underloading consumes more time and reduces the quality of the resulting silage. In addition, the quality can be improved by optimizing the dosage of the additive. Since the... A. Suokannas, J. Backman, A. Visala, A. Kunnas |
2. Determinants of Ex-ante Adoption of Precision Agriculture Technologies by Cocoa Farmers in GhanaThe study was to identify the best predictors of cocoa Farmers willingness to adopt future Precision Agriculture Technology (PAT) Development in Ghana. Correlational research design was used. The target population was all cocoa farmers who benefited from Cocoa High Technology Programme (an initiative of distributing free fertilizer by government to cocoa farmers) in Ghana. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 422 out of 400,000 cocoa farmers in the six (6) out of the seven (7) cocoa... M. Bosompem, J.A. Kwarteng, H.D. Acquah |
3. Impacts of Interpolating Methods on Soil Agri-environmental Phosphorus Maps Under Corn ProductionPhosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for crops production including corn. However, the excessive P application, tends to P accumulation at the soil surface under crops systems. This may contribute to increase water and groundwater pollution by surface runoff. To prevent this, an agri-environmental P index, (P/Al)M3, was developed in Eastern Canada and USA. This index aims to estimate soil P saturation for accurate P fertilizer recommendations, while integrating agronomical aspects... J. Nze memiaghe, A.N. Cambouris, N. Ziadi, M. Duchemin, A. Karam |
4. In-season Nitrogen Prediction Evaluation Using Airborne Imagery with AI Techniques in Commercial Potato ProductionIn modern agriculture, timely and precise nitrogen (N) monitoring is essential to optimize resource management and improve trade benefits. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a staple food in many regions of the world, and improving its production is inevitable to ensure food security and promote related industries. Traditional methods of assessing nitrogen are labour-intensive, time-consuming, and require subjective observations. To address these limitations, a combination of multispectral... B. Javed, A.

5. Delineating Management Zones for Optimizing Soil Phosphorus Recommendations Under a No Till Field in Eastern CanadaCorn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) represent the most common crop rotation in Eastern Canada. These crops are cultivated using no-tillage (NT) practice to enhance agroecosystem sustainability. However, NT practice can cause several agri-environmental issues related to phosphorus (P) stratification, movement and runoff leading to P eutrophication in waters. Another major challenge is the expensive costs of extensive soil sampling and laboratory tests needed for accurate... J. Nze memiaghe, A. Cambouris, M. Duchemin, N. Ziadi, A. Karam |
6. Agrosense: AI-enabled Sensing for Precision Management of Tree CropsMonitoring the tree inventory and canopy density and height frequently is critical for researchers and farm managers. However, it is very expensive and challenging to manually complete these tasks weekly. Therefore, a low-cost and artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced sensing system, Agrosense, was developed for tree inventory, canopy height measurement, and tree canopy density classification in this study. The sensing system mainly consisted of four RGB-D cameras, two Jetson Xavier NX, and one... C. Zhou, Y. Ampatzidis, H. Guan, W. Liu, A. De oliveira costa neto, S. Kunwar, O. Batuman |
