1. The Performance Of Mobile Devices' Inertial Measurement Unit For The Detection Of Cattle's Behaviors On PastureOver the past decade, the Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) concept has taken a considerable place in the development of accurate methods for a better management of farm animals. The recent technological improvements allow the raising of numerous motion sensors such as accelerometers and GPS tracking. Several studies have shown the relevancy of these sensors to distinguish the animals’ behavior using various classification techniques such as neuronal networks or multivariate... A.

2. Effect Of A Variable Rate Irrigation Strategy On The Variability Of Crop Production In Wine Grapes In CaliforniaPruning and irrigation are the cultural practices with the highest potential impact on yield and quality in wine grapes. In particular, irrigation start date, rates and frequency can be synchronized with crop development stages to control canopy growth and, in turn, positively influence light microclimate, berry size and fruit quality. In addition, canopy management practices can be implemented in vineyards with large canopies to ensure fruit zone microclimate... L.A. Sanchez, L.J. Klein, A. Claassen, D. Lew, M. Mendez-costabel, B.

3. Evaluation of a Seed-fertilizer Application System Using a Laser ScannerThe system evaluated is a design that combines planter and sprayer technologies to allow clients to plant crops while simultaneously spraying initial fertilizer on or in close proximity to the seed. The system is an idea Capstan Ag Systems has been pursuing for around 15 years, and has recently been revived in a partnership with Great Plains Manufacturing Company. Great Plains Manufacturing released the final product under the name AccushotTM at the 2015... P. Weckler, N. Wang, C. Zhai, L. Zhang, B. Luo, J. Long, R. Taylor |
4. Field Phenotyping and an Example of Proximal Sensing of PhotosynthesisField phenotyping conceptually can be divided in five pillars 1) traits of interest 2) sensors to measure these traits 3) positioning systems to allow high throughput measurements by the sensors 4) experimental sites and 5) environmental monitoring. In this paper we will focus on photosynthesis as trait of interest, measured by remote active fluorescence. The sensor presented is the Light Induced Fluorescence Transient (LIFT) instrument. The LIFT instrument is integrated in three positioning systems.... O. Muller, B. Keller, L. Zimmermanm, C. Jedmowski, V. Pingle, K. Acebron, N. Zendonadi, A. Steier, R. Pieruschka, U. Schurr, U.

5. 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 |
