1. Multi-sensor Remote Sensing: an AI-driven Framework for Predicting Sugarcane FeedstockPredicting saccharine and bioenergy feedstocks in sugarcane enables stakeholders to determine the precise time and location for harvesting a better product in the field. Consequently, it can streamline workflows while enhancing the cost-effectiveness of full-scale production. On one hand, Brix, Purity, and total reducing sugars (TRS) can provide meaningful and reliable indicators of high-quality raw materials for industrial food and fuel processing. On the other hand, Cellulose, Hemicellulose,... M. Barbosa, D. Duron, F. Rontani, G. Bortolon, B. Moreira, L. Oliveira, T. Setiyono, L. Shiratsuchi, R.P. Silva, K.H. Holland |
2. UAV Multispectral Data As a Suitable Tool for Predicting Sweetness, Size, and Yield of Vidalia OnionsVidalia onions is a specialty crop cultivated solely within the southeastern region of Georgia. The key distinguishing characteristic of Vidalia onions is its high sugar content, making them highly prized and widely consumed. Ten thousand acres are grown with Vidalia Onions each year approximately, and the market value (~$150Mi/year) makes the crop very important for the State of Georgia. Traditionally, the planting, weeding, spraying, harvesting, and post-harvesting operations are usually done... M. Barbosa, L. Oliveira, C. Tyson, A. Shirley, R. Santos, L. Sales, R. Vargas |
3. Advancements in Agricultural Robots for Specialty Crops: a Comprehensive Review of Innovations, Challenges, and ProspectsThe emergence of robot technology presents a timely opportunity to revolutionize specialty crop production, offering crucial support across various activities such as planting, supporting general traits, and harvesting. These robots play a pivotal role in keeping stakeholders up-to-date of developments in their production fields, while providing them the capability to automate laborious tasks. Then, to elucidate the advancements in this domain, we present the results of a comprehensive review... M. Barbosa, R. Santos, L. Sales, L. Oliveira |
4. Computer Vision by UAVs for Estimate Soybean Population Across Different Physiological Growth Stages and Sowing SpeedsSoybean (Glycine max (Linnaeus) Merrill) production in the United States plays a crucial role in agriculture, occupying a considerable amount of cultivated land. However, the costs associated with soybean production have shown a notable increase in recent years, with seed-related expenses accounting for a significant proportion of the total. This increase in costs is attributed to a number of factors, including the introduction of patented and protected genetic traits, as well as inflationary... F. Pereira de souza, L. Shiratsuchi, H. Tao, M. Acconcia dias, M. Barbosa, T. Deri setiyono, S. campos |
5. Optimizing Soybean Management with UAV RGB and Multispectral Imagery: a Neural Network Method and Image ProcessingPrecision agriculture (PA) has emerged as a fundamental approach in contemporary agricultural management, aimed at maximizing efficiency in the use of resources and improving crop productivity. The transition to so-called "agriculture 4.0" represents a revolution in the way technology is applied in the field, with an emphasis on digital and automated solutions such as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). These devices offer new capabilities for capturing high-resolution images, enabling... F. Pereira de souza, L. Shiratsuchi, H. Tao, M. Acconcia dias, M. Barbosa, T. deri setiyono, S. Campos |
6. Evaluation of an Ai-Driven High-Precision Spraying System for Targeted Weed Control in OnionsWeeds are a persistent challenge in the Vidalia onion production region, where limited herbicide options make placement and selectivity critical. AI-based high-precision spraying systems may reduce herbicide use and crop injury by targeting only weeds and non-crop areas. This study compared the Ecorobotix ARA high-precision sprayer operating in an all-but-the-crop mode with a conventional broadcast application for weed control, crop phytotoxicity, and onion performance. A field trial was conducted... R. Dos santos, L. Oliveira, L.D. Sales, M. Barbosa, C.T. Tyson |
7. Integrated Evaluation of Precision Spraying Systems in Pecan Orchards: Smart Apply System™, Conventional Airblast, and Drone ApplicationPecan production in Georgia faces increasing challenges related to weather variability, rising labor costs, and higher prices of agricultural inputs, particularly fungicides required for scab (Venturia effusa) management. Conventional air-assisted sprayers operate at fixed application rates and do not account for tree size variability or canopy gaps, often resulting in overapplication and reduced efficiency. Emerging precision technologies, such as Smart Apply™ sprayers and spray... R.P. Oliveira, J.P. Silva, J.V. Martins, R. Dos santos, M. Barbosa, L. Oliveira |
8. Exploring the XAG R150 UGV Capabilities: Air-Assisted vs Vertical Boom Attachment AssessmentsRobotic spraying platforms are rapidly advancing in specialty crop production; however, limited information exists regarding optimal spray parameters under different crop spacings and spray configurations. The XAG R150 robotic sprayer is a ground-based autonomous system capable of operating in both air-assisted and vertical/horizontal boom spraying modes, offering flexibility for diverse row-crop environments. This study evaluated spray performance parameters of the XAG R150 under varying crop... |
