1. A Method To Estimate Irrigation Efficiency With Evapotranspiration DataIrrigation efficiency is defined as the ratio of irrigation water consumed by the crops to the water diverted (Wg) from a river or reservoir or wells. This terminology serves for better irrigation systems designation and irrigation management practices improvement. But it is hard or high cost with labor intensity to estimate irrigation efficiency from field measurement. This paper proposes an estimating method of irrigation efficiency at the scale of irrigation... H. Zeng, B. Wu, N. Yan |
2. A Harvesting Robot System for Fresh Cherry Tomato in GreenhouseIn order to improve the , a new harvesting robot system for cherry tomato was designed and tested, which mainly consisted of a railed-type vehicle, a visual servo unit, a manipulator, a picking end-effector, and other accessories. According to the greenhouse environment and the standard planting mode, the robot configuration was determined, whose operating space could be adjusted horizontally and vertically in order to enlarge the harvesting range. Besides, a harvested fruits automatic transport... F. Qingchun, W. Xiu, W. Xiaonan, W. Guohua |
3. Possibilities for Improved Decision Making and Operating Efficiency Derived from the Predictability of Autonomous Farming OperationsFor the last 6 years, small autonomous agricultural vehicles have been operating on Harper Adams University’s fields in Shropshire. Starting with a single tractor on a single rectangular hectare (2.5 acres) and moving on to three tractors on 5 irregularly shaped fields covering over 30 hectares (75 acres). Multiple crops have been grown; planting, tending, and harvesting with autonomous tractors and harvesters. The fields are worked using a Controlled Traffic Farming system,... M. Gutteridge |
4. Yield Monitoring System for Radish and Cabbage Under Korean Field ConditionsYield monitoring is considered an essential tool to optimize resource utilization and provide an accurate assessment of crops for drylands. The objective of this study was to assess mass-based and volume-based yield monitoring under laboratory-simulated and field conditions for cabbage and radish. During the experiment, impact plate angles, conveyor speeds, and falling heights were systematically varied to investigate the effects on cabbage and radish yield during harvesting. Digital filtering... M. Gulandaz, M. Kabir, K. Shafik, S. Chung |
