1. Comparison Between Tractor-based and UAV-based Spectrometer Measurements in Winter WheatIn-season variable rate nitrogen fertilizer application needs a fast and efficient determination of nitrogen status in crops. Common sensor-based monitoring of nitrogen status mainly relies on tractor mounted active or passive sensors. Over the last few years, researchers tested different sensors and indicated the potential of in-season monitoring of nitrogen status by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in various crops. However, the UAV-platforms and the available sensors are not yet accepted to... M. Gnyp, M. Panitzki, S. Reusch, J. Jasper, A. Bolten, G. Bareth |
2. Potential Improvement in Rice Nitrogen Status Monitoring Using Rapideye and Worldview-2 Satellite Remote SensingFor in-season site-specific nitrogen (N) management of rice to be successful, it is crucially important to diagnose rice N status efficiently across large area in a timely fashion. Satellite remote sensing provides a promising technology for crop growth monitoring and precision management over large areas. The FORMOSAT-2 satellite remote sensing imageries with 4 wavebands have been used to estimate rice N status. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of using high spatial resolution... S. Huang, Y. Miao, F. Yuan, M.L. Gnyp, Y. Yao, Q. Cao, V. Lenz-wiedemann, G. Bareth |
3. Transforming Precision Agriculture Education, Research and Outreach in Sub-saharan Africa Through Intra-africa CooperationProductivity and profitability of sub-Saharan (SSA) agriculture can be enhanced greatly through the adoption of precision agriculture technologies and tools. However, until 2020 when the African Plant Nutrition Institute (APNI) established the African Association for Precision Agriculture (AAPA), most SSA PA enthusiast worked in isolation. The AAPA was formed to innovate Africa’s agricultural industry by connecting PA science to its practice and disseminate PA tailored to the needs... K.A. Frimpong, S. Phillips, V.

4. Emerging Megatrends of Sustainable Nutrient Management Research in Sub-saharan AfricaAfrica has the 12th highest population growth rates in the world, which may double by 2050; and have bio-physical constraints which impinge on development, that need to be addressed. This ever-increasing human population demands corresponding increase in food production, where low nutrient use and management is a critical challenge. Most research conducted by African scientists are rarely used in decision-making, because they are not properly aligned with the needs of decision-makers due to weak... V. Aduramigba-modupe, K.

5. Cherry Yield Forecast: Harvest Prediction for Individual Sweet Cherry TreesDigitalization continues to transform the agricultural sector as a whole and also affects specific niches like horticulture. Particularly in fruit and wine production, the focus is on the application of sensor systems and data analysis aiming at automated detection of drought stress or pests in vineyards or orchards. As part of the “For5G” project, we are developing an end-to-end methodology for the creation of digital twins of fruit trees, with a strong focus... A. Gilson, L. Meyer, A. Killer, F. Keil, O.
