1. Economic Profitability Of Site-specific Pesticide Management At The Farm Scale For Crop Systems In Haute-Normandie (France)Modern agriculture requires decision making criteria applicable to different scales of territory in order to reconcile productivity and respect of the environment, particularly for pest management. Taking into account the recent environmental... O. Bourgain, C. Duval, J. Llorens |
2. Site-specific Management For Biomass Feedstock Production: Development Of Remote Sensing Data Acquisition SystemsEfficient biomass feedstock production supply chain spans from site-specific management of crops on field to the gate of biorefinery. Remote sensing data acquisition systems have been introduced for site-specific management, which is a part of the engineering solutions for biomass feedstock production. A stand alone tower remote sensing platform was developed to monitor energy crops using multispectral imagery. The sensing system was capable of collecting RGB and CIR images during the crop growing... T. Ahamed, L. Tian, Y. Zhang, Y. Xiong, B. Zhao, Y. Jiang, K. Ting |
3. Soybean Canopy Response To Charcoal Rot In Arkansas: Observations Using Crop Circletm (ACS-470).Charcoal Rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina is a problem to soybean production, especially in hot and dry areas of southern US. As an approach to develop a fast assessment method of this soil-borne disease, soybean canopy reflectance was recorded with an active optical sensor, the Crop CircleTM ACS-470 in 2009 from a microplot field in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The microplot experiment was designed as a completely randomized factorial experiment with four cultivars, two inoculum... S.S. Kulkarni, M. Doubledee, S.G. Bajwa, J.C. Rupe |
4. Microbial Contaminants in Cocoa Powder Samples in South West NigeriaCocoa powder (CP), which is the major ingredient of cocoa-based beverages, is obtained from cocoa cake in a process involving hydraulic pressing of cocoa butter from fermented and roasted cocoa beans. Cocoa powder is presently being consumed as a health drink because of the presence of flavonoids in it. Evidences have shown that cocoa flavonoids exert powerful antioxidant properties by boosting immune responses and also the presence of procyanidins in cocoa protects the body against free-radical....
