1. Applying a Bivariate Frequency Ratio Technique for Potato High Yield Susceptibility MappingSpatial variation of soil characteristics and vegetation conditions are viewed as the most important indicators of crop yield status. Therefore, this study was designed to develop a crop yield prediction model through spatial autocorrelation between the actual yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) crop and selected yield status indicators (soil N, EC, pH, texture and vegetation condition), where the vegetation condition was represented by the cumulative normalized difference vegetation index...

2. Employment of the SSEB and CROPWAT Models to Estimate the Water Footprint of Potato Grown in Hyper-arid Regions of Saudi ArabiaQuantifying crops’ water footprint (WF) is essential for sustainable agriculture especially in arid regions, which suffers from harsh environmental conditions and severe shortage of freshwater resources such as Saudi Arabia. In this study, WF of irrigated potato crop was estimated for the implementation of precision agriculture techniques. The CROPWAT and the Simplified Surface Energy Balance (SSEB) approaches were adopted. Soil, plant, and yield samples were randomly collected from six... R. Madugundu, K. Al-gaadi, E. Tola |
3. Automated In-field Ornamental Nursery Plant Counting and Quality Assessment with End-to-end Deep Learning for Inventory ManagementEfficient inventory management and rigorous quality evaluation play crucial roles for monitoring sales, yield, space utilization, production schedules, and quality enhancements in the ornamental nursery sector. The current method for conducting inventory and quality assessments is through manual plant counting, even when dealing with thousands of plants. The prevailing approach is inefficient, time consuming, labor intensive, potential inaccuracies, and high expenses. Given the continuous decrease... H.H. Syed, T. Rehman |
4. A High-throughput Phenotyping System Evaluating Salt Stress Tolerance in Kale Plants Cultivated in Aquaponics EnvironmentsMonitoring plant growth in a controlled environment is crucial to make informed decisions for various management practices such as fertilization, weed control, and harvesting. Agronomic, physiological, and architectural traits in kale plants (Brassica oleracea) are important to producers, breeders, and researchers for assessing the performance of the plants under biotic and abiotic stresses. Traditionally, architectural, and morphological traits have been used to monitor plant growth. However,... T. Rehman, M. Rahman, E. Ayipio, D. Lukwesa, J. Zheng, D. Wells, H.H. Syed |
5. Response of Canola and Wheat to Application of Enhanced Efficiency Nitrogen Fertilizers on Contrasting Management ZonesInvestment on nitrogen (N) fertilizers is a major cost of growers, and variable rate (VR) application of N fertilizers could help optimize its usage. In the growing season of 2023, field experiments were conducted at four sites (i.e., Watrous – Saskatchewan SK and two fields in the vicinity of Strathmore, Alberta AB, Canada). The main objectives were to (i) determine performance of Enhanced Efficiency N Fertilizers - EENF (i.e., Coated urea, urea with double inhibitors - DI, urea mixed with... H. Asgedom, G. Hehar, C.
