1. The Effect of Scheduling Irrigation on Yield, Concentration and Uptake of Nutrient in Zero Tilled Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)Abstract: The rice–wheat rotation... D. Krishna |
2. Is Precision Agriculture Feasible In Cocoa Production In Ghana? : The Case Of “Cocoa High Technology Programme” In The Eastern Region Of GhanaGhana is the second largest producer of cocoa in the world supplying 25% of the world’s cocoa, thus cocoa production contributes significantly to the economy of ...

3. 'Spatial Discontinuity Analysis' a Novel Geostatistical Algorithm for On-farm ExperimentationTraditional agronomic experimentation is restricted to small plots. Under appropriate experimental designs the effects of uncontrolled environmental variables are minimized and the measured responses (e.g. in yields) are compared to controllable inputs (seed, tillage, fertilizer, pesticides) using well-trusted design-based statistical methods. However, the implementation of such experiments can be complex and the application, management, and harvesting of treated areas might have to... S. Rudolph, B.P. Marchant, V. Gillingham, D. Kindred, R. Sylvester-bradley |
4. Towards Data-intensive, More Sustainable Farming: Advances in Predicting Crop Growth and Use of Variable Rate Technology in Arable Crops in the NetherlandsPrecision farming (PF) will contribute to more sustainable agriculture and the global challenge of producing ‘More with less’. It is based on the farm management concept of observing, measuring and responding to inter- and intra-field variability in crops. Computers enabled the use of Farm Management Information Systems (FMIS) and farm and field specific Decision Support Systems (DSS) since mid-1980s. GIS and GNSS allowed since ca. 2000 geo-referencing of data and controlled traffic... C. Kempenaar, F. Van evert, T. Been, C. Kocks, K. Westerdijk, S. Nysten |
5. Hyperspectral Imaging to Measure Pasture Nutrient Concentration and Other Quality ParametersManaging pasture nutrient requirements on large hill country sheep and beef properties based on information from soil sampling is expensive because of the time and labor involved. High levels of error are also expected as these properties are often greatly variable and it is therefore extremely difficult to sample intensively enough to capture this variation. Extensive sampling was also not considered viable as there was no effective means of spreading fertilizer with a variable rate capability... I.J. Yule, R.R. Pullanagari, G. Kereszturi, M.E.

6. Agronōmics: Eliciting Food Security from Big Data, Big Ideas and Small FarmsMost farmers globally could make their farms more productive; few are limited by ambient availabilities of light energy and water. Similarly the sustainability of farming practices offers large scope for innovation and improvement. However, conventional ‘top-down’ Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKISs) are commonly failing to maintain significant progress in either productivity or sustainability because multifarious and complex agronomic interactions thwart accurate...

7. Supporting and Analysing On-Farm Nitrogen Tramline Trials So Farmers, Industry, Agronomists and Scientists Can LearN TogetherNitrogen fertilizer decisions are considered important for the agronomic, economic and environmental performance of cereal crop production. Despite good recommendation systems large unpredicted variation exists in measured N requirements. There may be fields and farms that are consistently receiving too much or too little N fertilizer, therefore losing substantial profit from wasted fertilizer or lost yield. Precision farming technologies can enable farmers (& researchers) to test appropriate... D. Kindred, R. Sylvester-bradley, S. Clarke, S. Roques, D. Hatley, B. Marchant |
8. Sensor Comparison for Yield Monitoring Systems of Small-Sized Potato HarvestersYield monitoring of potato in real time during harvesting would be useful for farmers, providing instant yield and income information. In the study, potentials of candidate sensors were evaluated with different yield measurement techniques for yield monitoring system of small-sized potato harvesters. Mass-based (i.e., load cell) and volume-based (i.e., CCD camera) sensors were selected and tested under laboratory conditions. For mass-based sensing, an impact plate instrumented with load cells...

9. Comparison of NDVI Values at Different Phenological Stages of Winter Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)The main objective of this study is to monitor, detect and quantify the presence of live green vegetation with the MicaSense RedEdge-MX Dual Camera System (MS) mounted on a DJI Matrice 210 V2 and GreenSeeker HCS 250 (GS) in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Surveys were conducted in the North-Western part of Hungary, in Mosonmagyaróvár on six different dates. A small-scale field trial in winter wheat was constructed as a randomized... S. Zsebő, G.

10. Supervised Hyperspectral Band Selection Using Texture Features for Classification of Citrus Leaf Diseases with YOLOv8Citrus greening disease (HLB), a disease caused by bacteria of the Candidatus Liberibacter group, is characterized by blotchy leaves and smaller fruits. Causing both premature fruit drop and eventual tree death, HLB is a novel and significant threat to the Florida citrus industry. Citrus canker is another serious disease caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (syn. X. axonopodis pv. citri) and causes economic losses for growers from fruit drops and blemishes. Citrus canker... Q. Frederick, T. Burks, P.K. Yadav, M. Dewdney, J. Qin, M. Kim |
11. Quantifying Boom Movement in Agricultural Sprayer Booms Using Neural Networks for Real-world Field ScenariosApplication rate errors in self-propelled agricultural sprayers remain a significant concern, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of boom movement during actual field operating scenarios. This study introduces new objectives to quantify boom movement across commercial sprayers when operated by different individuals and compares these movements among various machines. The goal is to develop a metric that identifies potential improvement needs for boom height control system. The approach... T. Kaloya, A. Sharda, A. Dalal |
