1. Worldwide Adoption Of Precision Agriculture Technology: The 2010 UpdatePrecision agriculture technology has been on the market for nearly two decades; and the question remains regarding how and to what extent farmers are making the best use of the technology. Yield monitors, GPS-enabled guidance technology, farm-level mapping and GIS software, on-the-go variable rate applications, and other spatial technologies are being used by thousands of farmers worldwide. The USDA Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) and the annual CropLife/Purdue University Precision... T. Griffin, J. Lowenberg-deboer |
2. Estimating Spatial Variation In Annual Pasture YieldYield mapping is an essential tool for precision management of arable crops. Crop yields can be measured once, at harvest, automatically by the harvesting machinery, and be used to inform a wide range of activities. However yield mapping has had minimal adoption by pastoral farmers. Yield mapping is also a potentially valuable tool for precision management of pastures. However it is difficult to practically map yields on pastures, as they... S.J. Dennis, W. Clarke-hill, A. Taylor, R. Dynes, K. O'neill, T. Jowett |
3. Detection Of Fruit In Canopy Night-Time Images: Two Case Studies With Apple And MangoReliable estimation of the expected yield remains a major challenge in orchards. In a recent work we reported the development of an algorithm for estimating the number of fruits in images of apple trees acquired in natural daylight conditions. In the present work we tested this approach with night-time images of similar apple trees and further adapted this approach to night-time images of mango trees. Working with the apple images required only... R. Linker, A. Payne, K. Walsh, O. Cohen |
4. Tracking Two Decades of Precision Agriculture Through the Croplife Purdue SurveyThe CropLife/Purdue University precision dealer survey is the longest-running continuous survey of precision farming adoption. The 2017 survey is the 18th, conducted every year from 1997 to 2009, and then every other year following. For individuals working in agriculture there is great value in knowing who is doing what and why, to get a better understanding of the utilities and applications, and to guide investments. A major revision in survey questions was made... B. Erickson, J. Lowenberg-deboer, J. Bradford |
5. 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.
