1. Validation of Variable Rate Spray Decision Rules in Intricate Micro-Metrological ConditionsThis study evaluated validity of modified spray decision rules formed to operate axial fan airblast sprayer retrofitted for use in citrus production. The sprayer was field tested in a spraying... L.R. Khot, R. Ehsani, G. Albrigo, J. campoy, C. Wellington, W. Swen, J. Camergo neto |
2. Field Phenotyping Infrastructure in a Future World - Quantifying Information on Plant Structure and Function for Precision Agriculture and Climate ChangePhenotyping in the field is an essential step in the phenotyping chain. Phenotyping begins in the well-defined, controlled conditions in laboratories and greenhouses and extends to heterogeneous, fluctuating environments in the field. Field measurements represent a significant reference point for the relevance of the laboratory and greenhouse approaches and an important source of information on potential mechanisms and constraints for plant performance tested at controlled conditions. In this... O. Muller, M.P. Cendrero mateo, H. Albrecht, F. Pinto, M. Mueller-linow, R. Pieruschka, U. Schurr, U. Rascher, A. Schickling, B. Keller |
3. Using Pricise Gps/gis Based Barley Yield Maps to Predict Site-specific Phosphorus RequirementsThree fundamental stages and technologies as main parts of a precision farming project should be considered precisely. These are access to actual multi- dimensional variability detail or variable description on farms, creating a suitable variable-rate technology, and finally providing a decision support system. Some results of a long term practical research conducted by the author in Upon-Tyne Newcastle University of UK for reliable yield monitoring and mapping were utilised to prepare this paper. The... A.

4. Site-specific Irrigation of Peanuts on a Coastal Plain FieldIrrigator-Pro is an expert system that prescribes irrigation for corn (Zea mays L.), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and peanut (Arachis hypogaea). We conducted an experiment in 2007 to evaluate Irrigator-Pro as a tool for variable rate irrigation of peanut using a site-specific center pivot irrigation system. Treatments were irrigation of whole plots based on the expert system, irrigation of individual soils within plots based on the expert system, irrigation of individual... |
5. Variable Rate Irrigation Management Using NDVICenter pivot irrigation systems are commonly used for corn and cotton production in the southeast USA. Technology for variable rate water application with center pivots is available; however, it is not widely used due to increased management requirements. Methods to develop dynamic in-season prescriptions in response to changing crop conditions are needed to move this technology forward. The objective of this research was to evaluate the potential of using normalized difference vegetative index... K.C. Stone, P.J. Bauer |
6. 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.

7. ADAPT: A Rosetta Stone for Agricultural DataModern farming requires increasing amounts of data exchange among hardware and software systems. Precision agriculture technologies were meant to enable growers to have information at their fingertips to keep accurate farm records (and calculate production costs), improve decision-making and promote efficiencies in crop management, enable greater traceability, and so forth. The attainment of these goals has been limited by the plethora of proprietary, incompatible data formats among... D.D. Danford, K.J. Nelson, S.T. Rhea, M.W. Stelford, R. Ferreyra, J.A. Wilson, B.E.

8. A Generative Adversarial Network-based Method for High Fidelity Synthetic Data AugmentationDigital Agriculture has led to new phenotyping methods that use artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions on image and video data collected from lab, greenhouse, and field environments. The availability of accurately annotated image and video data remains a bottleneck for developing most machine learning and deep learning models. Typically, deep learning models require thousands of unique samples to accurately learn a given task. However, manual annotation of a large dataset will... S. Sridharan, S. Sornapudi, Q. Hu, S.

9. An Open Database of Crop Yield Response to Fertilizer Application for SenegalFood security is one of the major global challenges today. Africa is one of the continents with the largest gaps in terms of challenges for food security. In Senegal, about 60% of the population resides in rural areas and the cropping systems are characterized as a low productivity system, low input and in reduced areas, smallholder subsistence systems. Increasing crop productivity would have a positive impact on food security in this country. One of the main factors limiting crop productivity... F. Gomez, A. Carcedo, A. Diatta, L. Nagarajan, V.
