1. Detection Of Fruit Tree Water Status In Orchards From Remote Sensing Thermal ImageryIn deciduous fruit trees there is a growing need of using water status indicators for scheduling irrigation and adopt regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) strategies taking into account spatial variability of orchards. RDI strategies have been successfully adopted for many fruit trees as a means for reducing water use and because yield and quality at harvest are not sensitive to water stress at some developmental stages. Although water status is generally monitored by measuring tree... P.J. Zarco-tejada, V. Gonzalez-dugo, J. Girona, E. Fereres, J. Bellvert |
2. Increasing Profitability & Sustainability of Maize Using Site-Specific Crop Management in New ZealandPrecision agriculture (PA) tools and techniques have been used in New Zealand (NZ) since the early 1990's. There has been wide-scale uptake of some PA tools such as autosteer; planter and sprayer section control; and variable-rate irrigation. However, there has been a limited uptake of Site-Specific Crop Management (SSCM) using variable-rate seeding, nutrient and lime applications to different Management Zones (MZ). This paper outlines examples of the use of SSCM on maize crops,... A.W. Holmes, G. Jiang |
