1. On The Go Soil Sensor For Soil Ec MappingThis paper describes spatial variation maps of soil electrical conductivity (EC) obtained by both spectroscopic and capacitance methods using on the go soil sensor ( a real-time soil sensor -RTSS) SAS 1000, commercialized by Shibuya Kogyo Co. The experiments were conducted over a 2 year period on an experimental Hokkaido farm with an alluvial soil type. The comparison in soil EC records between the spectroscopy and the capacitance were also discussed. The spectroscopic approach used the soil... N. Sulastri, S. Shibusawa, M. Kodaira |
2. Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle with Multispectral with RGB Sensors to Analyze Canola Yield in the Canadian PrairiesIn 2017 canola was planted on 9 million hectares in Canada surpassing wheat as the most widely planted crop in Canada. Saskatchewan is the dominant producer with nearly 5 million hectares planted in 2017. This crop, seen both as one of the highest-yielding and most profitable, is also one of most expensive and input-intensive for producers on the Canadian Prairies. In this study, the effect of natural and planted shelterbelts on canola yield was compared with canola yield... K. Hodge, L. Bainard, A. Smith, F. Akhter |
3. Development of a Drone-mounted Device for Aerial Application of Mating Disruption Agents in AgricultureIn recent years, drones have been increasingly adopted to reduce workforce and improve the efficiency of pest control in agriculture. However, most drones are optimized for spraying low-viscosity liquid pesticides and thus have limitations in stably applying high-viscosity liquid or solid formulations. In particular, the mating disruption agent (MDA) used in this study, which contains pheromones, must be attached to the crown to maximize pheromone diffusion. It is necessary to develop a technology... S. Song |
