1. Implementation of ECU For Agricultural Machines Based On IsoAgLib Open SourceIn this paper work, we consider implementation of electronic control unit (ECU) for agricultural machineries. Software implementation is based on IsoAgLib library developed by OSB&IT Engineering Company. We modify IsoAgLib and upgrade it for our target system. The IsoAgLib is an object oriented C++ library that has the communication services and management systems according to the ISO 11783 standard. This library allows building ISOBUS compatible equipment without the protocols implementa... E. Tumenjargal, L. Badarch, W. Ham, H. Kwon |
2. An RFID-Based Variable Rate Technology Fertilizer Applicator for Plantation Tree CropsCurrently, in the Malaysian tree crop plantation, fertilizer is applied manually or mechanically at uniform rate without due consideration to nutrient variability. Potential wastage and excessive application of this fertilizer contaminates ground water and raises its mineral contents above the World Health Organization (WHO) limit for safe drinking water. However, Variable Rate Technology (VRT) fertilizer application promotes Green Engineering practice by reducing excessive fertilizer ap... A. Yahya |

5. Optimization of Forage Harvesting By Automatic Speed Control and Additive ApplicationEfficient use of machines is especially important in forage harvesting due to the short harvesting period and expensive machinery. To achieve the best efficiency, a harvesting machine, such as a loader wagon, should be used with optimal loading. Whereas overloading the machine can cause blockages in the cut-and-feed unit, underloading consumes more time and reduces the quality of the resulting silage. In addition, the quality can be improved by optimizing the dosage of the additive. Since the... A. Suokannas, J. Backman, A. Visala, A. Kunnas |

7. Measuring Error on Working Depth of Real-time Soil SensorThis paper described about the measuring error on working depth of the Real-time soil sensor (RTSS). It is necessary for accurately evaluating to observe the variation on the working depth, because the RTSS run in various real field conditions, such as soft or hard and even or uneven, and the RTSS has various using objective. In this paper, the RTSS run on asphalt with steps while the three-point hitch was free and position-controlled. In position-controlled, the measuring depth that is ... R. Kanda, M. Kodaira, S.

8. 3D Acquisition System Applied to Agronomic ScenesTo enable a better decision making by the farmer in order to optimize the crop management, it is essential to provide a set of information on basic parameters of the crops. These information are numerous and the image processing is increasingly used for disease detection, weed detection or yield estimation. We will focus initially on assessing the yield of a wheat crop in automatic way. This yield is directly related to the number of ears per square meter for which the counting is curren... F.

9. Water Distribution Response in a Soil-Root System for Subsurface Precision IrrigationA subsurface capillary irrigation system with a water source buried in a soil has been developed for precision irrigation. This system has advantages in the efficient irrigation to save much water and the real time measurement of evapotranspiration of plants. Creating this new subsurface capilla... S. Shibusawa, M.

10. Probabilistic Relational Model-based Scheduling Approach for Farmland Soil Sensor NetworkEnergy efficiency is one of the core issues of farmland soil sensor network (FSSN). For battery powered FSSN, the energy constraint restricts lifetime of WSN, which poses great challenged to its large scale application. Prior work has suggested approaches to optimize the RF module and communication protocols to reduce power consumption of FSSN. Although shown to be ef... L. Chen, R. Zhang, G. Xu |

17. Adaptive Control of Capillary Water Flow Under Modified Subsurface Irrigation Based on a SPAC ModelSoil moisture in a rhizosphere of a tomato is controlled adaptively based on a simple soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) model. The water flow from a soil through a plant to the atmosphere is governed by the analogous rule of the SPAC model. In our experiment, we assume that plant transpiration is only affected by the water-potential of air when the soil m... M. Ohaba, M.B. zainal abidin, Q. Li, S. Shibusawa, M. Kodaira, K. Osato |
