1. Partial Weed Scouting For Exhaustive Real-time Spot Spraying Of Herbicides In CornReal-time spot spraying of weeds implies the use of plant detectors ahead of a sprayer. The range of weed spatial autocorrelation perpendicularly to crop rows is often greater than the space between the corn rows. To assess the possibility of using less than one plant detector scouting each inter-row, a one hectare field was entirely sampled with ground pictures at the appropriate timing for weed spraying. Different ways of disposing the detectors ahead of the sprayer were virtually tested. Scouting... L. Longchamps, B. Panneton, G.D. Leroux, M. Simard, R. Theriault |
2. Evaluation Of Yield Maps Using Fuzzy IndicatorsThe ultimate goal of application of yield maps is profitable crop output in many farming systems. Yield maps are the starting point in the precision farming system, and provide the final record indicating the effectiveness of any management changes. Researches on yield mapping shown, that positions and boundaries of zones with different levels of... E. Krueger shvetsova, D. Kurtener, D. Kurtener, H. Torbert |
3. Development of a Quick Diagnosis Method to Target Fields with Better Potential for Site-Specific Weed ManagementSite-specific weed management appears as an innovative way of saving herbicides in crop while maintaining yield. This can potentially lead economic and ecological benefits. However, it was reported in the literature that savings range from 1 % to 94 % from one field to the other. This implies that certain fields... B. Panneton, M. Simard, G.D. Leroux, L. Longchamps |
4. Integrated Crop Canopy Sensing System for Spatial Analysis of In-Season Crop PerformanceOver the past decade, the relationships between leaf color, chlorophyll content, nitrogen supply, biomass and grain yield of agronomic crops have been studied widely....

5. Crop Circle Sensor-Based Precision Nitrogen Management Strategy For Rice In Northeast ChinaGreenSeeker (GS) sensor-based precision N management strategy for rice has been developed, significantly improved N fertilizer use efficiency. Crop Circle ACS-470 (CC) active sensor is a new user configurable sensor, with a choice of 6 possible bands. The objectives of this study were to identify important vegetation indices obtained from CC sensor for estimating rice yield potential and rice responsiveness to topdressing N application and evaluate their potential improvements over GS normalized...

6. Introducing An Integrated Framework To Optimize Cotton Variable Rate Irrigation In Humid RegionsManagement of supplemental irrigation in humid regions is critical because both over and under estimation of the irrigation water requirement can cause cotton lint yield reduction. Spatial variation of the soil physical characteristics is significant in west Tennessee hence precision irrigation strategies should be applied to achieve the optimum lint yield. Despite the significant enhancement in instrumentation and measurements, there are several challenges that need to... A. Haghverdi, B.G. Leib |
