1. Adoption Of Precision Agriculture In Sweden – The Case Of Soil MapsAgriculture is facing great challenges in a world of changing climate and increased responsibility to find sustainable solutions to problems on both a local and a global scale, while agriculture at the same time faces higher costs for many inputs. Making decisions under such complex conditions is a delicate task. Precision agriculture is considered by many people as a tool to improve the efficiency of use of inputs and thereby improve resource utilization and reduction... J. Lindblom, C. Lundström, M.

2. Considering Farmers' Situated Expertise in AgriDSS Development to Fostering Sustainable Farming Practices in Precision AgricultureAgriculture is facing immense challenges and sustainable intensification has been presented as a way forward where precision agriculture (PA) plays an important role. More sustainable agriculture needs farmers who embrace situated expertise and can handle changing farming systems. Many agricultural decision support systems (AgriDSS) have been developed to support farm management, but the traditional approach to AgriDSS development is mostly based on knowledge transfer. This has resulted in technology... C. Lundström, J. Lindblom |
3. Measuring Height of Sugarcane Plants Through LiDAR TechnologySugarcane (Saccharum spp.) has an important economic role in Brazilian agriculture, especially in São Paulo State. Variation in the volume of plants can be an indicative of biomass which, for sugarcane, strongly relates to the yield. Laser sensors, like LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), has been employed to estimate yield for corn, wheat and monitoring forests. The main advantage of using this type of sensor is the capability of real-time data acquisition in a non-destructive way, previously... T.F. Canata, J.P. Molin, A.F. Colaço, R.G. Trevisan, P.R. Fiorio, M. Martello |
4. Spatial Variability of Canopy Volume in a Commercial Citrus GroveLiDAR (light detection and ranging) sensors have shown good potential to estimate canopy volume and guide variable rate applications in different fruit crops. Oranges are a major crop in Brazil; however the spatial variability of geometrical parameters remains still unknown in large commercial groves, as well as the potential benefit of sensor guided variable rate applications. Thus, the objective of this work was to characterize the spatial variability of the canopy volume in a commercial orange... A.F. Colaço, J.P. Molin, R.G. Trevisan, J.R. Rosell-polo, A. Escolà |
