1. Technological Improvement on Sugar Cane Yield Monitor This paper presents the technological improvement on sugar cane yield monitor. The system designed employs load cells as an instrument for weighing billets, set up on the side conveyor of the harvester before the sugar cane billets are dropped into a field transport wagon. This data, along with the information gathered by GPS installed on the harvester, enabled the elaboration of a digital yield map using GIS. In order to improve the yield monitor a re-design of the first prototype was accomp... D.G. Cerri, G.R. Gray, P.S. Magalhães Download paper
2. A Tree Planting Site-Specific Fumigant Applicator for Orchard Crops The goal of this research was to use recent advances in the global positioning system and computer technology to apply just the right amount of fumigant where it is most needed (i.e., in the neighborhood of each tree planting site or tree- planting-site-specific application) to decrease the incidence of replant disease, and achieve the environmental and economical benefits of reducing the application of these toxic chemicals. In the first year of this study we retrofitted a chemical applicato... S.K. Upadhayaya, V. Udompetaikul, M.S. Shafii, G.T. Browne Download paper
