1. Creation Of Prescription For Optimal Nitrogen Fertilization Through Evaluation Of Soil Carbon Amount Using Remotely Sensed DataIn these years, drastic increase of agricultural production costs has been induced, which was triggered by the sharp rise of costs relating to agricultural production materials such as fertilizers and oil. In Japan, the substantial negative influence is anticipated to spread over to management of the farmers particularly in Hokkaido, the northern part of Japan. As one of the measures against this influence, a plan of effective fertilizer application and also... E. Tamura, K. Aijima, K. Niwa, O. Nagata, K. Wakabayashi, C. Hongo |
2. Use of Satellite Data to Improve Damage Assessment Process for Agricultural Insurance Scheme in IndonesiaGoal is to develop new method utilizing satellite data for assessment of damage in paddy field which can contribute toward substantial reduction of the damage assessment time and costs in framework of agricultural insurance in Indonesia. For the damage assessment, estimation of yield in each paddy plot is a key, so the research on the estimation of rice yield was carried out using satellite data which was acquired in harvesting season. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted for the... C. Hongo, C. Ogasawara, E. Tamura, G. Sigit |
3. Static and Kinematic Tests for Determining Spreaders Effective WidthSpinner box spreaders are intensively used in Brazil for variable rate applications of lime in agriculture. The control of that operation is a challenging issue because of the complexity involved on the interactions between product and machine. Quantification of transverse distribution of solids thrown from the spinner box spreaders involves dynamic conditions tests where the material deposited on trays is evaluated along the pass of the machinery. There is a need of alternative testing methods... L. Maldaner, T. Canata, J. Molin, B. Passalaqua, J.J. Quirós |
4. Misalignment Between Sugar Cane Transshipment Trailers and TractorSugarcane production system is dependent on a continuous cutting and regrowth of cane plants from their roots, on which traffic should be avoided to ensure the physiological integrity of regrowth and productivity. This need for accuracy in sugarcane machine traffic boosted the adoption of automated steering systems, especially on harvesters. Tractors with the transshipment trailers, which continually accompany the harvesters in the field, yet do not adopt it or use technology with lower... B.P. Passalaqua, J. Molin, J. Salvi, A.P.

5. Identifying and Filtering Out Outliers in Spatial DatasetsOutliers present in the dataset is harmful to the information quality contained in the map and may lead to wrong interpretations, even if the number of outliers to the total data collected is small. Thus, before any analysis, it is extremely important to remove these errors. This work proposes a sequential process model capable of identifying outlier data when compared their neighbors using statistical parameters. First, limits are determined based on the median range of the values of all the... L. Maldaner, J. Molin, T. Tavares, L. Mendez, L. Corrêdo, C. Duarte |
6. Weed Detection Among Crops by Convolutional Neural Networks with Sliding WindowsOne of the primary objectives in the field of precision agriculture is weed detection. Detecting and expunging weeds in the initial stages of crop growth with deep learning technique can minimize the usage of herbicides and maximize the crop yield for the farmers. This paper proposes a sliding window approach for the detection of weed regions using convolutional neural networks. The proposed approach involves two processes: (1) Image extraction and labelling, (2) building and training our neural... K. Kantipudi, C. Lai, C. Min, R.C. Chiang |
7. On-the-Go Nir Spectroscopy and Thermal Imaging for Assessing and Mapping Vineyard Water Status in Precision ViticultureNew proximal sensing technologies are desirable in viticulture to assess and map vineyard spatial variability. Towards this end, high-spatial resolution information can be obtained using novel, non-invasive sensors on-the-go. In order to improve yield, grape quality and water management, the vineyard water status should be determined. The goal of this work was to assess and map vineyard water status using two different proximal sensing technologies on-the-go: near infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy... J. Tardaguila, M.

8. Innovative Assessment of Cluster Compactness in Wine Grapes from Automated On-the-Go Proximal Sensing ApplicationGrape cluster compactness affects berry ripening homogeneity, fungal disease incidence, grape composition and wine quality. Therefore, assessing cluster compactness is crucial for sorting wine grapes for the wine industry. Nowadays, cluster compactness assessing methodology is based either on visual inspection performed by trained evaluators (OIV method) or on morphological features of clusters. The goal of this work was to develop an innovative and automated, non-destructive method to assess... J. Tardaguila, F. Palacios, M. Diago, E.A. Moreda |
9. Soybean Plant Phenotyping Using Low-Cost SensorsPlant phenotyping techniques are important to present the performance of a crop and it interaction with the environment. The phenotype information is important for plant breeders to analyze and understand the plant responses from the ambient conditions and the inputs offered for it. However, for conclusive analysis it is necessary a large number of individuals. Thus, phenotyping is the bottleneck of plant breeding, a consequence of the labor intensive and costly nature of the classical phenotyping.... M.N. Ferraz, R.G. Trevisan, M.T. Eitelwein, J.

10. Comparison of Different Aspatial and Spatial Indicators to Assess Performance of Spatialized Crop Models at Different Within-field ScalesMost current crop models are point-based models, i.e. they simulate agronomic variables on a spatial footprint on which they were initially designed (e.g. plant, field, region scale). To assess their performances, many indicators based on the comparison of estimated vs observed data, can be used such as root mean square error (RMSE) or Willmott index of agreement (D-index) among others. However, shifting model use from a strategic objective to tactical in-season management is becoming a significant... D. Pasquel, S. Roux, B. Tisseyre, J.A. Taylor |
11. Application of Drone Data to Assess Damage Intensity of Bacterial Leaf Blight Disease on Rice Crop in IndonesiaThe Government of Indonesia has launched agricultural insurance program since 2016. A key in agricultural insurance is damage assessment which is required to be as precise, quick, quantitative and inexpensive as possible. Current method is to inspect the damage by human eyes of specialist having experiences. This method, however, costs much and is difficult to estimate disease infected fields precisely in wide area. So, there is increasing need to develop effective, simplified and low cost method... C. Hongo, S. Isono, G. Sigit, B. Utoyo, E. Tamura |
