1. Detection Of Drainage Failure In Reconstructed Cranberry Soils Using Time Series AnalysisA cranberry farm is often a semi-closed water system, where water is applied by means of irrigation and drained using an artificial drainage system. Cranberry bogs must be drained to the water level inside the surrounding ditches in order to maintain an optimal pore pressure within the root zone, which is important for a number of reasons. First of all, Phytophthara causing root rot are commonly associated with irrigation with contaminated surface water (Oudemans, 1999)... S.J. Gumiere, Y. Périard, J. Caron, D.W. Hallema, J.A. Lafond |
2. Planet Labs' Monitoring Solution in Support of Precision Agriculture PracticesSatellite imagery is particularly useful for efficiently monitoring very large areas and providing regular feedback on the status and productivity of agricultural fields. These data are now widely used in precision farming; however, many challenges to making optimal use of this technology remain, such as easy access to data, management and exploitation of large datasets with deep time series, and sharing of the data and derived analytics with users. Providing satellite imagery through a cloud... K.J. Frotscher, R. Schacht, L. Smith, E. Zillmann |
3. Real Time Precision Irrigation with Variable Setpoint for Strawberry to Generate Water SavingsWater is a precious resource that is becoming increasingly scarce as the population grows and water resources are depleted in some locations or under increased control elsewhere, due to local availability or groundwater contamination issues. It obviously affects strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) production in populated areas and water cuts are being imposed to many strawberry growers to save water, with limited information on the impact on crop yield. Precision irrigation technologies are... J. Caron, L. Anderson, G. Sauvageau, L. Gendron |
