1. Low Cost High-resolution Aerial Photogrammetric Techniques For Precision Agriculture In Latin American CountriesOne of the first steps in precision agriculture is to obtain aerial images of an area of interest to determine soil units and management zones. Aerial and remote sensing information, digital elevation models and other spatial data are often inexistent in planning offices in Latin American countries and, up to now, enhancement and modifications have not been integrated into smaller scaled planning operation such as farming. High resolution remote sensing images from scanning satellites like Quickbird,... J.S. Perret, O.E. arriaza, M.E. D, J. Aguilar |
2. The Effect of Leaf Orientation on Spray Retention on BlackgrassSpray application efficiency depends on the pesticide application method as well as target properties. A wide range of drop impact angles exists during the spray application process because of drop trajectory and the variability of the leaf orientation. As the effect of impact angle on retention is still poorly documented, laboratory studies were conducted... F. Lebeau, M. Massinon, P. Maréchal, H. Boukhalfa |
3. Crop Circle Sensor-Based Precision Nitrogen Management Strategy For Rice In Northeast ChinaGreenSeeker (GS) sensor-based precision N management strategy for rice has been developed, significantly improved N fertilizer use efficiency. Crop Circle ACS-470 (CC) active sensor is a new user configurable sensor, with a choice of 6 possible bands. The objectives of this study were to identify important vegetation indices obtained from CC sensor for estimating rice yield potential and rice responsiveness to topdressing N application and evaluate their potential improvements over GS normalized...

4. Detecting Nitrogen Variability at Early Growth Stages of Wheat by Active Fluorescence and NDVILow efficiency in the use of nitrogen fertilizer, has been reported around the world which often times result in high production costs and environmental damage. Today, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) cameras are being used to obtain conditions of crops, and can cover large areas in a short time. The objectives of this study were (i) to investigate N-variability in wheat at early growth stages using induced fluorescence indices, NDVI measured by active sensor and NDVI obtained by digital imagery;...

5. Delineation of Site-Specific Nutrient Management Zones to Optimize Rice Production Using Proximal Soil Sensing and Multispectral ImagingEvaluating nutrient uptake and site-specific nutrient management zones in rice in Costa Rica from plant tissue and soil sampling is expensive because of the time and labor involved. In this project, a range of measurement techniques were implemented at different vintage points (soil, plant and UAVs) in order to generate and compare nutrient management information. More precisely, delineation of site-specific nutrient management zones were determined using 1) georeferenced soil/tissue... J.E. Villalobos, J.S. Perret, K. Abdalla, C.L. Fuentes, J.C. Rodriguez, W.

6. AgronomoBot: A Smart Answering Chatbot Applied to Agricultural Sensor NetworksMobile devices advanced adoption has fostered the creation of various messaging applications providing convenience and practicality in general communication. In this sense, new technologies arise bringing automatic, continuous and intelligent features for communication through messaging applications by using web robots, also called Chatbots. Those are computer programs that simulate a real conversation between humans to answer questions or do tasks, giving the impression that the person is talking... G.M. Mostaço, L.B. Campos, C.E.
