1. Design of VAV System of Air Assisted Sprayer in Orchard and Experimental Study in ChinaOne type of new automatic target detecting based on size of canopy with variable chemical dosage and air-flow of fan orchard sprayer was designed and developed to meet the demand of chemical pest control in orchards. Canopy parameter data scanned by infrared sensors and LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) were used to detect the target and to design spraying algorithm and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control system. Four integrated five-finger atomizers were equipped on each side of sprayer, independent... H. Xiongkui, L. Longlong, S. Jianli, Z. Aijun, L. Yajia |
2. Decision Making Factors of Precision Agricultural Practices in South DakotaA survey among South Dakota Farmers was conducted to document current nutrient management practices.
