1. Design And Construction Of An Ultrasonic Cutting Width Sensor For Full-Feed Type Mid-Sized Multi-Purpose CombinesPrecision agriculture analyzes the spatial variability according to the characteristics of an optimum setting of agricultural materials. To raise the profitability of agriculture and to reduce the environmental impact, technological research and development of precision agriculture has been conducted. In Asian countries such as Japan... Y. Huh, S. Chung, Y. Chae, J. Lee, S. Kim, M. Choi, K. Jung |
2. Basic Tests Of pH And EC Probes For Automatic Real Time Nutrient Control In Protected Crop ProductionResearch on greenhouse and plant factory has been actively conducting to provide a stable growth environment. In plant factory, EC concentration (EC) and acidity (pH) of nutrient have a significant impact on physiological and morphological of plant. Therefore, EC and pH are important element for automatic control of nutrient solution. In this study, performance pH and EC sensors was evaluated for the responsiveness, accuracy and displacement. This study includes development of environmental... Y. Choo, S. Chung, Y. Huh, Y. Kim, S. Jang, K. Jung |
3. Post Processing Software for Grain Yield Monitoring System Suitable to Korean Full-feed CombinesPrecision agriculture (PA) has been adopted in many countries and crop and country specific technologies have been implemented for different crops and agricultural practices. Although PA technologies have been developed mainly in countries such as USA, Europe, Australia, where field sizes are large, need of PA technologies has been also drawn in countries such as Japan and Korea, where field sizes are relatively small (about 1 ha). Although principles are similar, design concept and practical... K. Lee, S. Chung, J. Lee, S. Kim, Y. Kim, M. Choi |
4. Late Season Imagery for Harvest ManagementThe overall objective of this project was to preliminarily assess the use of UAV-based thermal imagery to sense harvest-related factors. Results suggested that thermal imagery can be used to detect areas of high grain moisture content late in the harvest season. Time periods closer to physiological maturity were less likely to show significant differences in thermal imagery data. Additional research is needed to determine if moisture content trends with other measurable quantities... J. Ward, G. Roberson, R. Phillips |
5. Practical Prescription of Variable Rate Fertilization Maps Using Remote Sensing Based Yield PotentialThis paper describes a practical approach for the prescription of variable rate fertilization maps using remote sensing data (RS) based on satellite platforms, Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 constellation. The methodology has been developed and evaluated in Albacete, Spain, in the framework of the project FATIMA (http://fatima-h2020.eu/). The global approach considers the prescription of N management prior to the growing season, based on a spatially distributed N balance. Although the diagnosis of N... A. Osann, I. Campos, M.

6. Use of Watering Hole Data As a Decision Support Tool for the Management of a Grazing Herd of CattleEstablish grazing practices would improve the welfare of the animals, allowing them to express more natural behaviours. However, free-range reduces the ability to monitor the animals, thus increase the time needed to intervene in the event of a health problem. To ease the adoption of grazing, farmer would benefit from autonomously collected indicators at pasture that identify abnormal behaviours possibly related to a health problem in a bovine. These indicators must be individualised and collected... J. Plum, B. Quoitin, I. Dufrasne, S. Mahmoudi, F. Lebeau |
7. AI-based Pollinator Using CoreXY RobotThe declining populations of natural pollinators pose a significant ecological challenge, often attributed to the adverse effects of pesticides and intensive farming practices. To address the critical issue of pollination in the face of diminishing natural pollinators, we are pioneering an AI-based pollinator that utilizes a CoreXY pollination system. This solution aims to augment pollination efforts in agriculture, increasing yields and crop quality while mitigating the adverse impacts of pesticide... H. Kulhandjian, M. Kulhandjian, D. Rocha, B. Bennett |
8. AI-based Precision Weed Detection and EliminationWeeds are a significant challenge in agriculture, competing with crops for resources and reducing yields. Addressing this issue requires efficient and sustainable weed elimination systems. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in weed elimination system development, focusing on innovative technologies and methodologies. Specifically, it details the development and integration of a weed detection and elimination system based on the CoreXY architecture, implemented... H. Kulhandjian, M. Kulhandjian, D. Rocha, B.

9. 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 |
10. Incorporating Return on Investment for Profit-driven Management ZonesAdopting site-specific management practices such as profitability zones can help to stabilize long-term profit while also favoring the environment. Profitability maps are used to standardize data by converting variables into economic values ($/ha) for different cropping systems within a field. Thus, profitability maps can be used to define management zones from several years of data and show the regions within a field which are more profitable to invest in for production, or those that can be...

11. Deep Learning for Predicting Yield Temporal Stability from Short Crop RotationsInvestigating the temporal stability of yield in management zones is crucial for both producers and researchers, as it helps in mitigating the adverse impacts of unpredictable disruptions and weather events. The diversification of cropping systems is an approach which leads to reduced variability in yield while improving overall field resilience. In this six-year study spanning from 2016 to 2021, we monitored 40 distinct fields owned by 10 producers situated in Quebec, Canada. These... E. Lord, A.A. Boatswain jacques, A.B. Diallo, M.

12. Prediction of Field-scale Evapotranspiration Using Process Based Modeling and Geostatistical Time-series InterpolationIrrigation scheduling depends on the combination of evaporative demand from the atmosphere, spatial and temporal heterogeneity in soil properties and changes in crop canopy during a growing season. This on-farm trial is based on data collected in 72-acre processing tomato field in Central Valley of California. The Multiband Spectrometric Arable Mark 2 sensors at three different locations in the field. Multispectral and thermal imagery provided by Ceres Imaging were collected eight times during... G.
