1. Design of VAV System of Air Assisted Sprayer in Orchard and Experimental Study in ChinaOne type of new automatic target detecting based on size of canopy with variable chemical dosage and air-flow of fan orchard sprayer was designed and developed to meet the demand of chemical pest control in orchards. Canopy parameter data scanned by infrared sensors and LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) were used to detect the target and to design spraying algorithm and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control system. Four integrated five-finger atomizers were equipped on each side of sprayer, independent... H. Xiongkui, L. Longlong, S. Jianli, Z. Aijun, L. Yajia |
2. Application of Geographic Information Systems in Socioeconomic Analysis: A Case of Integrated Soil Fertility Management in the Savannas of NigeriaPopulation pressure increases, shortened fallow cycles, cropping intensification, inaccessibility and low output prices as well as concerns about agricultural sustainability and self-sufficiency have combined to contribute to increased demand for integrated soil fertility management of the agricultural resource base. Following this situation, organic fertilizer in the form of animal manure becomes one of the principal sources of nutrients for soil fertility maintenance and crop production. Hence,... O.
