1. HLB Detection Using Hyperspectral RadiometryThe need for sustainable agriculture requires the adoption of low input, long-term and cost-effective strategies to overcome the adverse impact of disease and nutritional deficiencies on citrus groves. In this context, early detection of diseased trees has become an important topic in the citrus industry. Multiple factors make field assessment of disease conditions a challenging task: the non-specific nature of many symptoms, the possibility of having localized affections in only certain areas... J.

2. Using Geospatial Data to Assess How Climate Change May Affect Land Suitability for Agriculture ProductionFinding solutions to the challenge of sustainably feeding the world’s growing population is a pressing research need that cuts across many disciplines including using geospatial data. One possible area could be developing agricultural frontiers. Frontiers are defined as land that is currently not cultivated but that may become suitable for agriculture under climate change. Climate change may drive large-scale geographic shifts in agriculture, including expansion in cultivation at the thermal... K. Kc, L. Hannah, P. Roehrdanz, C. Donatti, E. Fraser, A. Berg, L.

3. Decision Support from On-field Precision ExperimentsEmpirically driven adaptive management in large-scale commodity crop production has become possible with spatially controlled application and sub-field scale crop monitoring technology. Site-specific experimentation is fundamental to an agroecosystem adaptive management (AAM) framework that results in information for growers to make informed decisions about their practices. Crop production and quality response data from combine harvester mounted sensors and internet available remote sensing data... B.D. Maxwell, P.D. Hegedus, S.D. Loewen, H.D. Duff, J.W. Sheppard, A.D.
