1. Evaluation And Contrast Of An Auto Guidance System Operating On A Sugar Cane Harvester In BrazilThe change on the harvesting sugar cane operation from the manual to mechanized cut increased the amount of sugar cane cut by the mill per day, but the operation increased the cane loss, which is left behind on the field. The purpose of this work was to contrast the accuracy achieved... F. Baio |
2. Interaction Between Air Spray Drift And Climatic Conditions Creating Drift Map Related To The Aerial Application Of Pesticides Using Low Volumes In BrazilBetween 30 to 50% of the pesticides total applied over agricultural areas can be lost by the air, depending of the applying conditions, by the spray drift action. This spray drift problem is increased when the field is too close to the urban locations, bringing environmental contamination, and when the application is made with oil on the tank mixture. The society demands by... F. Baio, U. Antuniassi |
3. Computer Model By A Linear Program And Via Internet To Select Agricultural Mechanized Systems Based On The Smallest Operational CostComputer programs have been used to help the farmers on the fleet selection. However, these computing models are based on the previous choice of the mechanized system made by the user. On this context, the purpose of this work was to develop a free computer model by a linear program and via internet to select agricultural mechanized systems based... F. Baio, , |
4. Data-Driven Agricultural Machinery Activity Anomaly Detection and ClassificationIn modern agriculture, machinery has become the one of the necessities in providing safe, effective and economical farming operations and logistics. In a typical farming operation, different machines perform different tasks, and sometimes are used together for collaborative work. In such cases, different machines are associated with representative activity patterns, for example, in a harvest scenario, combines move through a field following regular swaths while grain carts follow irregular paths...

5. Use Cases for Real Time Data in AgricultureAgricultural data of many types (yield, weather, soil moisture, field operations, topography, etc.) comes in varied geospatial aggregation levels and time increments. For much of this data, consumption and utilization is not time sensitive. For other data elements, time is of the essence. We hypothesize that better quality data (for those later analyses) will also follow from real-time presentation and application of data for it is during the time that data is being collected that errors can be...

6. Advancing Adaptive Agricultural Strategies: Unraveling Impacts of Climate Change and Soils on Corn Productivity Using APSIMWith unprecedented challenges to achieve sustainable crop productivity under climate change and dynamic soil conditions, adaptive management strategies are required for optimizing cropping systems. Using sensors, cropping systems can be continuously monitored and the data collected by them can be analyzed for making informed adaptive management decisions to enhance productivity and environmental sustainability. But sensors can only tell the past and decisions bring implications into the future.... H. Pathak, C.J. Warren, D. Buckmaster, D.R. Wang |
7. OATSmobile: a Data Hub for Underground Sensor Communications and Rural IoTWireless Underground Sensor Networks (WUSNs) play a crucial role in precision agriculture by providing information about moisture levels, temperature, nutrient availability, and other relevant factors. However, the use of radio-frequency identification (RFID) devices for WUSNs has been relatively unexplored despite their benefits such as low power consumption. In this work, we develop a hardware platform, called OATSMobile, that enables radio-frequency identification (RFID) communications in WUSNs.... F.A. Castiblanco rubio, A. Arun, B. Lee, A. Balmos, S.

8. Avena: an Event-driven Software Framework for Informed Decisions and Actions in Cropping SystemsInteroperability is one of the enabling factors of real-time communications and data exchange between asynchronous data actors. Interoperability can be attained by introducing events to systems that extract data from consumed ground-truth event streams that utilize application-specific structures. Events are specific occurrences happening at a particular time and place. Event-data are observations of phenomena, or actions, as seen by different systems in Internet of Things (IoT) deployments, independent... F.A. Castiblanco rubio, M. Basir, A. Balmos, J. Krogmeier, D. Buckmaster |
9. In-Field and Loading Crop: A Machine Learning Approach to Classify Machine Harvesting Operating ModeThis paper addresses the complex issue of classifying mode of operation (active, idle, stationary unloading, on-the-go unloading, turning) and coordinating agricultural machinery. Agricultural machinery operators must operate within a limited time window to optimize operational efficiency and reduce costs. Existing algorithms for classifying machinery operating modes often rely on heuristic methods. Examples include rules conditioned on machine speed, bearing angle and operational time... D.

10. Private Simple Databases for Digital Records of Contextual Events and ActivitiesFarmers’ commitment and ability to keep good records varies tremendously. Records and notes are often cryptic, misplaced, or damaged and for many, remain unused. If such information were recorded digitally and stored in the cloud, we immediately solve some access and consistency issues and make this data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable). More importantly, interoperable digital formats can also enable mining for insights and analysis... M.S. Basir, J. Krogmeier, Y. Zhang, D. Buckmaster |
11. Design of an Autonomous Ag Platform Capable of Field Scale Data Collection in Support of Artificial IntelligenceThe Pivot+ Array is intended to serve as an innovative, multi-user research platform dedicated to the autonomous monitoring, analysis, and manipulation of crops and inputs at the plant scale, covering extensive areas. It will effectively address many constraints that have historically limited large-scale agricultural sensor and robotic research. This achievement will be made possible by augmenting the well-established center pivot technology, known for its autonomy, with robust power infrastructure,... S. Jha, J. Krogmeier, D.

12. Enabling Field-level Connectivity in Rural Digital Agriculture with Cloud-based LoRaWANThe widespread adoption of next-generation digital agriculture technologies in rural areas faces a critical challenge in the form of inadequate field-level connectivity. Traditional approaches to connecting people fall short in providing cost-effective solutions for many remote agricultural locations, exacerbating the digital divide. Current cellular networks, including 5G with millimeter wave technology, are urban-centric and struggle to meet the evolving digital agricultural needs, presenting... Y. Zhang, J. Bailey, A.
