1. Monitoring Dairy Cow Activity With GPS-tracking And Supporting TechnologiesNutrient loss from dairy farms is an issue of serious concern to most dairy farmers around the world. On grazed systems such as those practiced in New Zealand animal excreta has been identified as a major source of nutrient loss, which for nitrogen (N) relates to cattle urine in particular. A study was commissioned to examine nutrient transfer around dairy farms associated with the cows with a view to developing improved precision nutrient application... I. Draganova, I.J. Yule, K.

2. Technology Support for Game Monitoring As a Tool for Damages Reduction of Field CropsWild boars (Sus scrofa) are increasingly becoming the main cause of field crops damage in Czech Republic and central Europe area. There are many reasons why wild boars population is growing. The major reason is most likely change in the composition of field crops. In some areas in particular there is focus on oilseed rape and maize, for which there are also recorded the biggest losses. One of the key discussion topics is the issue of estimation of animal quantities and its traceability.... J. Jarolimek, M. Stočes, M. Ulman, J. Vaněk |
3. The Relationship Between Vegetation Indices Derived from UAV Imagery and Maturity Class in Potato Breeding TrialsIn potato breeding, maturity class (MC) is a crucial selection criterion because this is a critical aspect of commercial potato production. Currently, the classification of potato genotypes into MCs is done visually, which is time- and labor-consuming. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with sensors can acquire images with high spatial and temporal resolution. The objectives of this study were to 1) establish the relationship between vegetation indices (VIs) derived from UAV imagery at three... S.M. Samborski, U. Torres, R. Leszczyńska, A. Bech, M.
