12. Using a Fully Convolutional Neural Network for Detecting Locations of Weeds in Images from Cereal FieldsInformation about the presence of weeds in fields is important to decide on a weed control strategy. This is especially crucial in precision weed management, where the position of each plant is essential for conducting mechanical weed control or patch spraying. For detecting weeds, this study proposes a fully convolutional neural network, which detects weeds in images and classifies each one as either a monocot or dicot. The network has been trained on over 13 000 weed annotations... M. Dyrmann, S. Skovsen, R.N. Jørgensen, M.S. Laursen |

15. Evaluation of HLB-Infected Citrus Rootstocks Using Ground Penetrating RadarCitrus production in Florida continues to decline steadily, since the arrival of Huanglongbing (HLB or citrus greening). HLB does not kill the tree, but HLB-infected trees become less productive. Since now, there is no cure for this disease. However, several strategies have been developed to manage and control HLB-infected citrus trees. We have developed and evaluated a heat thermotherapy system (short-term solution) for sustaining productivity of HLB-affected trees. This system heats the canopy... Y. Ampatzidis, M. Derival, S.
