1. Not Possible In Real Life: Precision Agriculture’s Future In 3D Virtual WorldsImmersive 3D virtual worlds may be several years away from mainstream adoption, but thousands of scientists, educators, and visionary thinkers are already using these environments to network with colleagues, conduct research, create engaging simulations, and develop instructional models that can reach global audiences. Virtual reality offers the potential to create dynamic content that is either not possible to build in real life, or prohibitively expensive. Travel costs can be reduced by bringing... L. Phillips |
2. Economic Evaluation of Automatic Heat Detection Systems in Dairy FarmingAlthough heat detection makes a relevant contribution to good reproduction performance of dairy cattle, available studies on the economic evaluations of automatic heat detection systems are limited. Therefore, the objective of this article is to provide an economic evaluation of using automatic heat detection. The effect of different heat detection rates on gross margin is modelled with SimHerd (SimHerd A/S, Denmark). The analysis considers all additional investment costs in automatic heat detection.... J.

3. Potential of UAS Multispectral Imagery for Predicting Yield Determining Physiological Parameters of CottonThe use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in precision agriculture has increased rapidly due to the availability of reliable, low-cost, and high-resolution sensors as well as advanced image processing software. Lint yield in cotton is the product of three physiological parameters: photosynthetically active radiation intercepted by canopy (IPAR), the efficiency of converting intercepted active radiation to biomass (RUE), and the ratio of economic yield to total dry matter (HI). The relationships... A. Pokhrel, S. Virk, J.L. Snider, G. Vellidis, V. Parkash |
4. Design and Development of a Spraying System for Under Canopy Rover and Its Integration with Computer Vision SystemChemical spraying such as herbicides, insecticides are essential in any agricultural field for controlling pest, weed etc. and ultimately increasing yield. About one-third of agricultural yields rely on the utilization of pesticides. However, around 3 billion kilograms of pesticides are used worldwide every year and effective utilization of it is merely 1%. The precise application of these chemicals is necessary to reduce negative impacts on environment as well as human health. The application... N.K. Piya, A. Sharda, J.R. Persch, D. Flippo, R.
