1. Crop Water Stress Mapping for Site Specific Irrigation by Thermal Imagery and Artificial Reference SurfacesVariable rate irrigation machines or solid set systems have become technically feasible; however, crop water status mapping is necessary as a blueprint to match irrigation quantities to site-specific crop water demands. Remote thermal sensing can provide these maps in sufficient detail and at a timely delivery. In a set of aerial and ground scans at the Hula Valley, Israel, digital crop water stress maps were generated using geo-referenced high- resolution thermal imagery and artificial reference... M.

2. Development of a Small Tracking Device for Cattle Using IoT TechnologyThe US is the largest producer of beef in the world. Last year alone, it produces nearly 19% of the world’s beef. This translate to about almost $90 billion in economic impact in the country. Aside from being a producer, the US also consumed more than 26 billion pounds of beef which have a retail value of the entire beef industry to more than $74B. For this level of production and consumption, each rancher in the US must produce a herd size of at least 100 or more to sustain the current... J.M. Maja, A.K. Blocker, E.G. Stuckey, S.G. Sell, G.

3. Integration of High Resolution Multitemporal Satellite Imagery for Improving Agricultural Crop Classification: a Case StudyTimely and accurate agriculture information is vital for ensuring global food security. Satellite imagery has already been proved as a reliable tool for remote crop mapping. Planet satellite imagery provides high cadence, global satellite coverage with higher temporal and spatial resolution than the Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2. This study examined the potential of utilizing high-resolution multitemporal imagery along with and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to map the agricultural crops... U. Ali, T. Esau, A.

4. Water Stress Assessment for a Better Within-field Nitrogen and Irrigation ManagementSwedish crops production is predominantly rain fed; and until now, food security has been safeguarded by relying on imports if seasonal variations of rainfall reduce yield quantity and quality. In Sweden, based on climate change scenarios, farmers organizations and representatives consider water to be a critical factor that potentially will limit the yield levels to a larger extent in the future. In the last decades, it is registered very dry seasons (e.g. 2018 and 2019) and long dry spells in... O. Alshihabi, B. Stenberg, J. Barron |
5. In-season Nitrogen Management for Wheat in Tunisia Using Proximal and Remote SensingWhile the cereal sector represents an important factor in the social and economic farming structure in Tunisia, the national wheat average yield is very low, estimated to 1.4 t/ha. However, the frequent spreading of nitrogen in large quantities to raise yields can lead to low use efficiency of N and groundwater pollution. In Sweden, digital tools using proximal and remote sensing for variable rate application (VRA) of nutrients were developed and widely used by farmers to optimize fertilization... M. Mechri, O.
