1. Towards a Multi-Source Record Keeping System for Agricultural Product TraceabilityAgricultural production record keeping is the basis of traceability system. To resolve the problem including single method of information acquisition, weak ability of real-time monitoring and low credibility of history information in agricultural production process, the...

2. Apparent Electrical Conductivity Sensors and Their Relationship with Soil Properties in Sugarcane FieldsOne important tool within the technological precision agriculture (PA) package are the apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) sensors. This kind of sensor shows the ability in mapping soil physicochemical variability quickly, with high resolution and at low cost. However, the adoption of this technology in Brazil is not usual, particularly on sugarcane fields. A major issue for farmers is the applicability of ECa, how to convert ECa data in knowledge that may assist the producer in decision-making... G.M. Sanches, L.R. Amaral, T. Pitrat, T. Brasco, P.S.

3. Remote Sensing-based Biomass Maps for an Efficient Use of FertilizersFor decades the main objective of farmers was to get the highest yields from their farmland. Nowadays, quality of agricultural products is becoming more and more important for the largest returns. In addition, the effects on our environment are also becoming important. These put increasing limitations on modern agriculture. So-called site-specific management can optimize the input of, for instance, nutrients and pesticides to the need of the plants. In this study, the objective was to study whether... J.G. P.w clevers, K.H. Wijnholds, J.N. Jukema |
4. Delineation of Site-Specific Management Zones using Sensor-based Data for Precision N managementNitrogen is a critical nutrient influencing crop yield, but the common practice of uniform application of nitrogen fertilizer across a field often results in spatially variable nitrogen availability for the crop, leading to over-application in some areas and under-application in others. This imbalance can cause economic losses and significant environmental issues. Precision nitrogen application involves application of N fertilizers based on soil conditions and crop requirements. One approach for... R. Joshi, R. Khosla, D. Mandal, R. Unruh, W.A. Admasu |
5. Delineating Dynamic Variable Rate Irrigation Management ZonesAgriculture irrigation strategies have traditionally been made without accounting for the natural small-scale variability in the field, leading to uniform applications that often over-irrigate parts of the field that do not need as much water. The future success of irrigated agriculture depends on advancements in the capability to account for and leverage the natural variability in croplands for optimum irrigation management both in space and time. Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) management offers... R. Unruh, W.A. Yilma, D. Mandal, R. Joshi, R. Khosla |
