1. Economic and Ecological Performance and Farm-level Adoption of Market-available Tools for Variable-rate Nitrogen Management in a Region of Small-to-medium-scale AgricultureThe proposed contribution combines the results of extensive multi-year field trials on variable rate-nitrogen fertilization (VRN) of winter wheat with the results of a series of farmer surveys, and findings drawn from a government investment subsidy program. All three data sources (field trials, surveys, investment subsidy program) cover roughly the same period and agricultural area. The field trials were conducted from 2023 to 2025, the surveys in 2020, 2022, and 2025, and data on the investment... M. Gandorfer, B. Vinzent, J. Pfrombeck, J. Garnitz, F. Maidl |
2. Farm-level Economic Viability Site-specific Weed Management (SSWM)Background: Site-specific weed management (SSWM) is promoted as a strategy to reduce herbicide inputs without compromising crop yield. Despite rapid advances in offline and online AI-based weed mapping, the farm-level economic viability of SSWM under real-world weed patchiness and imperfect detection remains uncertain. Methods: A grid-based (1x1m, 50x50cm and 25x25cm) economic decision model for SSWM was developed and evaluated using 31 empirical weed... M. Gandorfer, J. Pfrombeck, V. Pitsyk, D. Pannell |
3. Management Zone Delineation for Subsoiling Using Apparent Electrical Conductivity, Elevation, and Soil MoistureSoil compaction is a primary physical factor limiting agricultural crop development. It mechanically impedes root growth, alters soil water dynamics, and consequently affects plant nutrient uptake. In agricultural systems under mechanization or animal trampling, compacted layers are spatially heterogeneous. This necessitates spatial analysis approaches for more precise management decisions, as average values often prove inadequate for site-specific problem resolution. Consequently,... T. Oliveira , G.

4. Application of CNNs in Cattle Counting using RPAsThe increasing demand for productive efficiency and sustainability in the agricultural sector has driven the adoption of technologies focused on Precision Livestock Farming. Among the main operational challenges in extensive systems, the counting and monitoring of cattle herds stand out. Historically performed manually, these activities are time-consuming, increase labor costs, and are highly susceptible to human error, especially across vast territorial expanses. However, the parallel advancement... E. De Souza Salles, C. Souza, R. Clemente Thom De Souza |
