1. Validation of Variable Rate Spray Decision Rules in Intricate Micro-Metrological ConditionsThis study evaluated validity of modified spray decision rules formed to operate axial fan airblast sprayer retrofitted for use in citrus production. The sprayer was field tested in a spraying... L.R. Khot, R. Ehsani, G. Albrigo, J. campoy, C. Wellington, W. Swen, J. Camergo neto |
2. Precision Agriculture and SpringerMaryse Walsh will be presenting Precision Agriculture, the Springer journal, but also the discipline and its place in the Springer publications overall. The community attending the ICPA has a major role in ensuring the positive development of these publications and the affiliation of the journal to the ISPA will only help. ... M. Walsh |
3. Adoption and Non-Adoption of Precision Farming Technologies by Cotton FarmersWe used the 2009 Southern Cotton Precision Farming Survey data collected from farmers in twelve U.S. states (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) to identify reasons on why some adopt and others do not adopt precision farming techniques. Those farmers who provided the cost as the reason for non-adoption are farmers characterized by lower education... A.K. Mishra, M. Pandit, K.P. Paudel, E. Segarra |
4. The Use Of A Multirotor And High-Resolution Imaging For Precision Horticulture In Chile: An Industry PerspectiveAs part of the prototype development of a yield forecasting and precision agriculture service for Chilean horticulture, we evaluated the use of an eight-rotor Mikrokopter for high-resolution aerial imaging to support ground-based surveys. Specific considerations for UAV and communications performance under Chilean conditions are windy conditions, limited space for take-off and landing in orchards, tree height and plantation density, and the presence of high metal contents in soils. We discuss... I. Zamora, D. Wulfsohn |
5. Can Soil Fertility Data and Topography Predict Yield Stability Zones for Corn Fields in New York?Yield monitor systems play a vital role in precision agriculture given their ability to capture and map within-field yield variability. When three or more years of yield data are available, yield stability zone maps can be generated to show both the spatial and temporal variability of yield within a field. Based on the farm’s overall temporal mean and standard deviation for a specific crop, we can classify areas in the field as consistently high- (Q1) or low-yielding (Q4), and variably high-... M.
