1. 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.

2. Citizens Perspectives on Robot-based Crop Farming – a Cluster Analysis Using Unsupervised Machine LearningArtificial intelligence (AI) and its possibilities and threats are prominently discussed by the broader public. Robotic solutions are based on AI and offer the potential to change agricultural production drastically. However, new food technologies have not been perceived solely positively by society in the past. Genetic engineering, for example, has been the subject of repeated controversy. Science communication theory suggests that individual opinion leaders highly influence steering a social... H. Zeddies, G. Busch |
