1. Sectioning And Assessment Remote Images For Precision Agriculture: The Case Of Orobanche Crenate In Pea CropThe software SARI® has been developed to implement precision agriculture strategies through remote sensing imagery. It is written in IDL® and works as an add-on of ENVI®. It has been designed to divide remotely sensed imagery into “micro-images”, each corresponding to a small area (“micro-plot”), and to determine the quantitative agronomic and/or environmental biotic (i.e. weeds, pathogens) and/or non-biotic (i.e. nutrient levels) indicator/s...

2. Remote Estimation Of Gross Primary Production In MaizeThere is a growing interest in the estimation of gross primary productivity (GPP) in crops due to its importance in regional and global studies of carbon balance. We have found that crop GPP was closely related to its total chlorophyll content, and thus chlorophyll can be used as a proxy of GPP in crops. In this study, we tested the performance of various vegetation indices for estimating GPP. The indices were derived from spectral data collected remotely but at close-range over a period of eight...

3. Management Of Remote Imagery For Precision AgricultureSatellite and airborne remotely sensed images cover large areas, which normally include dozens of agricultural plots. Agricultural operations such as sowing, fertilization, and pesticide applications are designed for the whole plot area, i.e. 5 to 20 ha, or through precision agriculture. This takes into account the spatial variability of biotic and of abiotic factors and uses diverse technologies to apply inputs at variable rates, fitted to the needs of each small defined area, i.e. 25 to 200...

4. Rapidscan And CropCircle Radiometers: Opportunities And Limitation In Assessing Wheat Biomass And NitrogenRemote sensing is a promising technology that provides information about the crop's physiological and phenological status. This information is based on the spectral absorption and scattering features of the plants. Many different vegetation indices (VI) have been developed, and are in use to estimate quantitatively the relationship between multi and hyper-spectral reflectance and effective crop physiological parameters, i.e. nitrogen (N) content, biomass, leaf area index (LAI). The CropCircle... A.A. Gitelson, D.J. Bonfil |
5. Application of Variable-Rate Irrigation for Potato ProductivityVariable-rate irrigation (VRI) has the potential to increase yields and reduce water consumption and energy costs. Spatial and temporal variability of soil and field properties can impact the efficiency of irrigation and crop yield. The VRI technology allows for the precise application of irrigation to meet crop water demands in controlled amounts prescribed for specific management zones within a field. Sensitivity to over and under-irrigation and the high-water requirements of potato make the... A. Yari, C. Madramootoo, S.A. Woods, V.I. Adamchuk, L. Gilbert |
6. Functional Soil Property Mapping with Electrical Conductivity, Spectral and Satellite Remote SensorsProximal electrical conductivity (EC) and spectral sensing has been widely used as a cost-effective tool for soil mapping at field scale. The traditional method of calibrating proximal sensors for functional soil property prediction (e.g., soil organic matter, sand, silt, and clay contents) requires the local soil sample data, which results in a field-specific calibration. In this large-scale study consisting of 126 fields, we found that the traditional local calibration method had suffered weak... X. Xiong, D. Myers, J. Debruin, B. Gunzenhauser, N. Sampath, D. Ye, H.
