1. Precision Agriculture Initiative for Karnataka – A New Direction for Strengthening Farming CommunityStrengthening agriculture is crucial to meet the myriad challenges of rural poverty, food security, unemployment, and sustainability of natural resources and it also needs strengthening at technical, financial and management levels. In this context... U.K. Shanwad, M.B. Patil, V. H, M. B.g , P. R, R. N.l. , S. S, R. Khosla, V.C. Patil |
2. Fluorescence Imaging Spectroscopy Applied To Citrus DiseasesDiseases are one of the most serious threats for citrus production worldwide. Sao Paulo, Brazil and Florida, USA, are the most important citrus producers and, both, are making efforts for citrus diseases control. Citrus canker is one of the serious diseases, caused by the Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri bacteria, that infects citrus trees and relatives, causing a large economic loss in the citrus juice production. Another important disease affecting the citrus production worldwide is the Huanglongbing... C. Wetterich, J. Belasque jr., L. Marcassa |
3. Economically Optimized Site Specific Nitrogen Application Using Data Mining ToolsAgricultural production in terms of economic and environmental demand requires increasingly efficient utilization of resources. Excessive use of nutrients may cause leaching, whereas deficits could lead to impediments in tapping full yield potential. Due to heterogeneity of fields, small-scale application of fertilizer provides means to encounter challenges that could arise and to improve resource efficiency. As part of an ongoing research project, we have investigated the ability... P. Wagner, B. Burges |
4. Liquid Flow Control Requirements for Crop Canopy Sensor-Based N Management in Corn: A Project SENSE Case StudyWhile on-farm adoption of crop canopy sensors for directing in-season nitrogen (N) application has been slow, research focused on these systems has been significant for decades. Much emphasis has been placed on developing and testing algorithms based on sensor output to predict N needs, but little information has been published regarding liquid flow control requirements on equipment used in conjunction with these sensing systems. Addition of a sensor-based system to a standard spray rate controller... J. Luck, J. Parrish, L. Thompson, B. Krienke, K. Glewen, R.B. Ferguson |
5. 3d Object Recognition, Localization and Treatment of Rumex Obtusifolius in Its Natural EnvironmentRumex obtusifolius is one of the most highly competitive and persistent sorts of weed in agriculture. An automatic recognition and plant-treatment system is currently under development as an alternative treatment technique. An infrared-laser triangulation sensor and a high-resolution smart camera are used to generate 3D images of the weeds and their natural environment. In a segmentation process, contiguous surface patches are separated from one other. These 3D surface patches... M. Holpp, T. Anken, D. Seatovic, R. Grueninger, R. Hueppi |
6. Spatially Explicit Prediction of Soil Nutrients and Characteristics in Corn Fields Using Soil Electrical Conductivity Data and Terrain AttributesSite specific nutrient management (SSNM) in corn production environments can increase nutrient use efficiency and reduce gaseous and leaching losses. To implement SSNM plans, farmers need methods to monitor and map the spatial and temporal trends of soil nutrients. High resolution electrical conductivity (EC) mapping is becoming more available and affordable. The hypothesis for this study is that EC of the soil, in conjunction with detailed terrain attributes, can be used to map soil nutrients... S. Sela, N. Graff, K. Mizuta, Y. Miao |
7. Optimizing Power Delivery in Electric Farm Machinery Using a Hybrid Battery and Ultracapacitor SystemAgriculture plays a significant role in global greenhouse gas emissions, contributing notably to climate change. Integrating renewable energy into agricultural operations has become increasingly vital in addressing this challenge. This study investigates the potential of electrifying agricultural machinery using a hybrid energy storage system that combines batteries and ultracapacitors. While batteries offer high energy density, they face limitations such as slow charging and reduced lifespan... S. Wu-yang |
