1. Challenges and Opportunities for Precision Dairy Farming in New Zealand.A study was commissioned by DairyNZ, a dairy industry good organisation in New Zealand, to identify some of the key challenges and opportunities in the precision dairy space. In New Zealand there has been an increasing research focus on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) ... I. Yule , C. Eastwood |
2. On-The-Go pH Sensor: An Evaluation in a Kentucky FieldA commercially available on-the-go soil pH sensor measures and maps subsurface soil pH at high spatial intensities across managed landscapes. The overall purpose of this project was to evaluate the potential for this sensor to be used in agricultural fields. The specific goals were to determine and evaluate 1) the accuracy with which this instrument can be calibrated, 2) the geospatial structure of soil pH measurements,... T. Mueller, E. Gianello, B.

3. Soil Organic Carbon Multivariate Predictions Based on Diffuse Spectral Reflectance: Impact of Soil MoistureSpatial predictions of soil organic carbon (OC) developed with proximal and remotely sensed diffuse reflectance spectra are complicated by field soil moisture variation. Our objective was to determine how moisture impacted spectral reflectance and Walkley-Black OC predictions. Soil reflectance from the North American Proficiency Testing... T. Mueller, C. Matocha, F.

4. Design, Error Characterization And Testing Of A System To Measure Locations Of Fruits In Tree CanopiesMapping the variability of fruit size and quality within tree canopies in commercial orchards is an important tool for implementing precision horticulture. To do so at a reasonably fast rate requires localization technologies that offer sufficient speed and accuracy, at a range long enough to cover entire trees – or several trees at a time. Existing approaches for measuring fruit locations include: manual (centimeter accuracy and measurement time in the order of minutes per... S.G. Vougioukas, F.J. Jimenez, F. Khosro Anjom, R.
