3. Assessing the Potential of an Algorithm Based On Mean Climatic Data to Predict Wheat YieldIn crop yield prediction, the unobserved future weather remains the key point of predictions. Since weather forecasts are limited in time, a large amount of information may come from the analysis of past weather data. Mean data over the past years and stochastically generated data are two possible ways to compensate the lack of future data. This research aims to demonstrate that it is possible to predict... F.

4. Radio Frequency Identification For Implementing Traceability In The Cotton Production In The Brazilian MidwestAccording to the International Cotton Advisory Committee - ICAC projection for the fiber in cotton production for the crop year 2012/2013 is expected to reach an amount of 15.19 million tons , according to a forecast released in August 2012 . In the Brazilian context , according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply of Brazil cotton cultivation in Brazil has grown especially in the Midwest . In particular , exports of cotton fiber increased twice in one season in 2003/2004... C. Santos, E.O. Weschter, M.A. Dota, C.E. Cugnasca |
5. Specification Of Data Dimension To Measure The Data Quality On Cotton ProductionThe management of cotton cultivation and agriculture in general, depend on quality data enabling the retrieving of useful information as an aid in decision making related to management techniques and farm management . Part of this task depends intelligible data generated through the processes that make up this segment . Creating means for enabling the classification data is the starting point for making decisions regarding any corrections or adjustments in the mass data . The heterogeneity... C. Santos, A.

6. Nitrogen Fertilisation Recommendations : Could They Be Improved Using Stochastically Generated Climates In Conjunction With Crop Models ?In the context of precision nitrogen (N) management, to ensure that the yield potential could be reached each year, farmers have too often applied quantities of fertilizers much larger than what was strictly required. However, since 2002, the Belgian Government transposed the European Nitrate Directive 91/676/EEC in the Belgian law, with the aim to maintain the productivity and the revenue of Belgian's farmers while reducing the environmental impact of excessive N management...

7. The Performance Of Mobile Devices' Inertial Measurement Unit For The Detection Of Cattle's Behaviors On PastureOver the past decade, the Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) concept has taken a considerable place in the development of accurate methods for a better management of farm animals. The recent technological improvements allow the raising of numerous motion sensors such as accelerometers and GPS tracking. Several studies have shown the relevancy of these sensors to distinguish the animals’ behavior using various classification techniques such as neuronal networks or multivariate... A.

8. Snap Bean Flowering Detection from UAS Imaging SpectroscopySclerotinia sclerotiorum (white mold) is a fungus that infects the flowers of snap beans and causes a reduction in the number of pods, and subsequent yields, due to premature pod abscission. Snap bean fields typically are treated with prophylactic fungicide applications to control white mold, once 10% of the plants have at least one flower. The holistic goal of this research is to develop spatially-explicit white mold risk models, based on inputs from remote sensing systems aboard unmanned... E.W. Hughes, S.J. Pethybridge, C.

9. Organ Scale Nitrogen Map: a Novel Approach for Leaf Nitrogen Concentration EstimationCrop nitrogen trait estimations have been used for decades in the frame of precision agriculture and phenotyping researches. They are crucial information towards a sustainable agriculture and efficient use of resources. Remote sensing approaches are currently accurate tools for nitrogen trait estimations. They are usually quantified through a parametric regression between remote sensing data and the ground truth. For instance, chlorophyll or nitrogen concentration are accurately estimated using... A.

10. Sun Effect on the Estimation of Wheat Ear Density by Deep LearningEar density is one of the yield components of wheat and therefore a variable of high agronomic interest. Its traditional measurement necessitates laborious human observations in the field or destructive sampling. In the recent years, deep learning based on RGB images has been identified as a low-cost, robust and high-throughput alternative to measure this variable. However, most of the studies were limited to the computer challenge of counting the ears in the images, without aiming to convert... S. Dandrifosse, E. Ennadifi, A. Carlier, B. Gosselin, B.

11. Investigating the Potential of Visible and Near-infrared Spectroscopy (VNIR) for Detecting Phosphorus Status of Winter Wheat Leaves Grown in Long-term TrialThe determination of plant nutrient content is crucial for evaluating crop nutrient removal, enhancing nutrient use efficiency, and optimizing yields. Nutrient conventional monitoring involves colorimetric analyses in the laboratory; however, this approach is labor-intensive, costly, and time-consuming. The visible and near-infrared spectroscopy (VNIR) or hyperspectral non-imaging sensors have been an emerging technology that has been proved its potential for rapid detection of plant nutrient... Y.
