1. Optimization Of Maize Yield: Relationship Between Management Zones, Hybrids And Plant PopulationCorn is highly sensitive to variations in plant population and it is one of the most important practices influencing in grain yield. Knowledge about plant physiology and morphology allow understanding how the crop interacts with plant population variation. Considering that for each production system there is a population that optimizes the use of available resources it is necessary to manage plant population to reach maximum grain yield on each particular environment. This study... A.A. Anselmi, J.P. Molin, R. Khosla |
2. Factors Related To Adoption Of Precision Agriculture Technologies In Southern BrazilThe adoption of technologies which allow the increase of food production with improving quality in addition to reduce the foot prints in the environment is important for agribusiness development. Precision Agriculture (PA) stands out as an option to aid the achievement of these goals. Brazil plays an important role to supply agricultural products and to demand technologies. However, research has focused on technical and economic implementation of PA technologies. Therefore, more information... A.A. Anselmi, L.C. Federizzi , C. Bredemeier, J.P. Molin |
3. Positioning Strategy of Maize Hybrids Adjusting Plant Population by Management ZonesChoice of hybrid and accurate amount of plants per area determines grain yield and consequently net incomes. Local field adjustment in plant population is a strategy to manage spatial variability and optimize environmental resources that are not under farmer control (like soil type and water availability). This study aims to evaluate the response of hybrids by levels of plant population across management zones (MZ). Six different hybrids and five rates of plant populations were analyzed starting...

4. Assessing Soybean Injury from Dicamba Using RGB and CIR Images Acquired on Small UAVsDicamba is an herbicide used for postemegence control of several broadleaf weeds in corn, grain sorghum, small grains, and non-cropland. Currently, dicamba-tolerant (DT) soybean and cotton are under development, which provide new options to combat weeds resistant to glyphosate, the most widely used herbicide. With the use of DT-trait cotton and soybean, off-target dicamba drift onto susceptible crops will become a concern. To relate soybean injury to different rates of dicamba applications,... Y.

5. Agricultural Robots: Drivers, Barriers and Opportunities for AdoptionIn the next decades, agriculture is to feed a rapidly growing population, while tackling changes in climate, overexploited resources, changes in markets and competition with other sectors. Agriculture is, therefore, expected to move towards a more sustainable intensification. In this context, robotic technologies are aimed to reduce labor, using fewer resources and improving agricultural productivity. There is growing demand and awareness of the potential use of such technologies in the farming... K. Rial-lovera |
