1. Ground Level Hyperspectral Imagery For Weeds Detection In Wheat FieldsWeeds are a severe pest in agriculture resulting in extensive yield loss. Applying precise weed control has economical as well as environmental benefits. Combining remote sensing tools and techniques with the concept of precision agriculture has the potential to automatically locate and identify weeds in order to allow precise control. The objective of the current work is to detect annual... D.J. Bonfil, U. Shapira, A. Karnieli, I. Herrmann, S. Kinast |
2. Monitoring Drought Stress Index in Wheat Field of Mongolia Using Remote SensingWater stress during crop growth, even during short periods of a couple of weeks, is a major cause of yield reduction. The complexity in defining the magnitude of such water stress is due to diversity of crops grown in a given location, variability in soil type and conditions, spatial variability of rainfall, delay in timely of agriculture, and diversity in crop management practices. The problem associated with drought is... B.M. Banzragch, N.M. Damdinpurev, E.M. Batzorig |
3. Multi, Super Or Hyper Spectral Data, The Right Way From Research Toward Application In AgricultureRemote sensing provides opportunities for diverse applications in agriculture. One consideration of maximizing the utility of these applications, is the need to choose the most efficient spectral resolution. Picking the optimal spectral resolutions (multi, super or hyper) for a specific application is also influenced by other factors (e.g., spatial and temporal resolutions) of the utilized device. This work focuses mainly on... D.J. Bonfil, I. Herrmann, A. Pimstein, A. Karnieli |
4. Weeds Detection By Ground-level Hyperspectral ImagingWeeds are a severe pest in agriculture, causing extensive yield loss. Weed control of grass and broadleaf weeds is commonly performed by applying selective herbicides homogeneously all over the field. As presented in several studies, applying the herbicide only where needed has economical as well as environmental benefits. Combining remote sensing tools and techniques with the concept of precision agriculture has the potential to automatically... U. Shapira , I. Herrmann, A. Karnieli, D.J. Bonfil |
5. Assessment Of Field Crops Leaf Area Index By The Red-edge Inflection Point Derived From Venus BandsThe red-edge region of leaves spectrum (700-800 nm) corresponds to the spectral region that connects the chlorophyll absorption in the red and the amplified reflectance caused by the leaf structure in the near infrared (NIR) parts of the spectrum. At the canopy level, the inflection point of the red-edge slope is influenced by the plant’s condition that is related to several properties, including Leaf Area Index (LAI) and plant nutritional status....

6. Rapidscan And CropCircle Radiometers: Opportunities And Limitation In Assessing Wheat Biomass And NitrogenRemote sensing is a promising technology that provides information about the crop's physiological and phenological status. This information is based on the spectral absorption and scattering features of the plants. Many different vegetation indices (VI) have been developed, and are in use to estimate quantitatively the relationship between multi and hyper-spectral reflectance and effective crop physiological parameters, i.e. nitrogen (N) content, biomass, leaf area index (LAI). The CropCircle... A.A. Gitelson, D.J. Bonfil |
7. Detection Of Nitrogen Deficiency In Potatoes Using Small Unmanned Aircraft SystemsSmall Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) are recognized as potentially important remote-sensing platforms for precision agriculture. A nitrogen rate experiment was established in 2013 with ‘Ranger Russet’ potatoes by applying four rates of nitrogen fertilizer (112, 224, 337, and 449 kg N/ha) in a randomized block design with 3 replicates. A Tetracam Hawkeye sUAS and Agricultural Digital Camera Lite sensor were used to collect imagery with near-infrared... D.A. Horneck, D.J. Gadler, A.E. Bruce, R.W. Turner, C.B. Spinelli, J.J.

8. Building Proactive Predictive Models With Big Data Technology For Precision AgricultureIn a world with ever increasing shortages of food production due to increasing populations and depletion of resources, the need for new technologies and techniques for sustainable and efficient agriculture with long term financial, environmental and cultural benefits are critical. An area of scientific study concerning crop-production management called Precision Agriculture (PA) is a concept based on integrating modern information technologies such as Big Data Analytics, GPS...

9. Site-Specific Variability Of Grape Composition And Wine QualityPrecision Viticulture (PV) is the application of site-specific tools to delineate management zones in vineyards for either targeting inputs or harvesting blocks according to grape maturity status. For the creation of management zones, soil properties, topography, canopy characteristics and grape yield are commonly measured during the growing season. The majority of PV studies in winegrapes have focused on the relation of soil and vine-related spatial data with grape composition... S. Fountas, Y. Kotseridis, A. Balafoutis, E. Anastasiou, S.

10. UAV-based Crop Scouting for Precision Nutrient ManagementPrecision agriculture – is one of the most substantial markets for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Mounted on the UAVs, sensors and cameras enable rapid screening of large numbers of experimental plots to identify crop growth habits that contribute to final yield and quality in a variety of environments. Wheat is one of the Idaho’s most important cereal crops grown in 42 of 44 Idaho counties. We are working on establishing a UAV-based methodology for in-season prediction of wheat... O.S. Walsh, K.

11. Sensor-based Technologies for Improving Water and Nitrogen Use EfficiencyLimited reports exist on identifying the empirical relationships between plant nitrogen and water status with hyperspectral reflectance. This project is aiming to develop effective system for nitrogen and water management in wheat. Specifically: 1) To evaluate the effects of nitrogen rates and irrigation treatments on wheat plant growth and yield; 2) To develop methods to predict yield and grain protein content in varying nitrogen and water environments, and to determine the minimum nitrogen...

12. Data-driven Agriculture and Sustainable Farming: Friends or Foes?Sustainability in our food and fiber agriculture systems is inherently knowledge intensive. It is more likely to be achieved by using all the knowledge, technology, and resources available, including data-driven agricultural technology and precision agriculture methods, than by relying entirely on human powers of observation, analysis, and memory following practical experience. Data collected by sensors and digested by artificial intelligence (AI) can help farmers learn about synergies... O. Rozenstein, Y. Cohen, V. Alchanatis , K. Behrendt, D.J. Bonfil, G. Eshel, A.
