1. Saltmed Model As An Integrated Management Tool For Precision Management Of Water, Crop, Soil, And FertilizersSALTMED-2009: A modelling tool for Precision Agriculture R. Ragab Centre for Ecology and H... R. Ragab |
2. Smoothness Index Of Thematic MapsA thematic map shows the spatial distribution of one or more specific data themes for standard geographic areas. The thematic maps are generated to represent the studied variables, so interpolators are used to determine their values in places not sampled. It is usuall... C.L. Bazzi, E.G. Souza, D. Stiehl |
3. Application Of Algebra Hyper-curve Neural Network In Soil Nutrient Spatial InterpolationStudy on spatial variability of soil nutrient is the basis of soil nutrient management in precision agriculture. For study on application potential and characteristics of algebra hyper-curve neural network(AHNN) in delineating soil properties spatial variability and interpolation, total 956 soil samples were taken for alkaline hydrolytic nitrogen measurement from a 50 hectares field using 20m*20m grid sampling. The test data set consisted of 100 random samples extracti... L. Chen, C. Zhao, W. Huang, T. Chen, J. Wang |
4. Analysis Of Water Use Efficiency Using On-the-go Soil Sensing And A Wireless NetworkAn efficient irrigation system should meet the demands of the growing crops. While limited water supply may result in yield reduction, excess irrigation is a waste of resources. To investigate water use efficiency, on-the-go sensing technology was used to reveal soil spatial variability relevant to water holding capacity (in this example, field elevation and apparent electrical conductivity). These high-density data layers were used to identify strategic sites where monitoring water availabil... L. Pan, V.I. Adamchuk, D.L. Martin, M.A. Schroeder, R.B. Fergugson |
5. Evaluation Of Yield Maps Using Fuzzy IndicatorsThe ultimate goal of application of yield maps is profitable crop output in many farming systems. Yield maps are the starting point in the precision farming system, and provide the final record indicating the effectiveness of any management changes. Researches on yield mapping shown, that positions and boundaries of zones with different levels ... E. Krueger shvetsova, D. Kurtener, D. Kurtener, H. Torbert |

7. Mapping The Effect Of Food Prices, Productivity And Poverty In The Development Domains Of NigeriaPoverty remains the major obstacle to economic emancipation and achievement of development agenda in Nigeria. Worse still, rising food prices pose a major threat to feeding the teeming population in Nigeria. Declining food production, high population growth, and negative food trade balance combine to worsen the food and poverty situations in Nigeria. We stand on the premise that surging and volatile food prices could have a hardest hit on those who could not afford it –... O.E. Olayide, A.E. Ikpi, V.O. Okoruwa, , T. Alabi, T. Omodele |
8. Early Identification Of Leaf Rust On Wheat Leaves With Robust Fitting Of Hyperspectral SignaturesEarly recognition of pathogen infection is of great relevance in precision plant protection. Disease detection before the occurrence of visual symptoms is of particular interest. By use of a laserfluoroscope, UV-light induced fluorescence data were collected from healthy and with leaf rust infected wheat leaves of the susceptible cv. Ritmo 2-4 days after inoculation under controlled conditions. In order to evaluate disease impact on spectral characteristics 215 wavelengths in the range of 370... C. R, T. Rumpf, K. B, M.

9. Decision Making And Operational PlanningIn order to automatize crop farming and its processes, a number of technological and other problems have to be solved. Agricultural field robots are in our vision to fulfill operations in fields. Robots involve number of technological challenges in order to be functional and reliable, but also systems controlling these robots are to be developed. In this paper automatic crop farming is the vision, and decision making models and operational planning is discussed. Study is carried out with simu... T. Oksanen, , |

11. Development Of A Decision Support System For Precision Areawide Pest Management In Cotton ProductionCrop models simulate growth and development, and provide relevant information for the routine management of the crop. The use of crop models on large areas for diagnosing crop growing conditions or predicting crop production is hampered by the lack of sufficient spatial information about model inputs. Integrating crop models with other information technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS), variable rate technology, remote sensing, and global p... Y. Lan, W.C. Hoffmann, J.

12. Mapping Soil Salinity Using Cokriging Method In Arsanjan Plain, Southern IranSalt-affected landscapes are highly sensitive to changes in climatic, edaphic and hydrological conditions in time and space in semi-arid regions such as Arsanjan plain, southern Iran. The objective of this study was to combine digital satellite data with ground based measurements of ECe by cokriging method to possibility improve the soil salinity maps of study area. Soil samples in the 85 sampling site (10187 ha)were collected from 0-30 cm depths, georefrenced using GPS recei... M.P. Baghernejad, M.M. Emadi |
13. Accounting For Spatial Correlation Using Radial Smoothers In Statistical Models Used For Developing Variable-rate Treatment PrescriptionsVariable-rate treatment prescriptions for use on commercial farms can be developed from embedded field trials on those farms. Such embedded trials typically involve non-random, high-density sampling schemes that result in large datasets and response variables exhibiting spatial correlation. In order to accurately evaluate the significance of the effects of the applied treatments and the measured field characteristics on the response of interest, this spatial correlation must be accounted for ...

14. Crop Rotation Impacts ‘Temporal Sampling’ Needed For Landscape-defined Management ZonesYield and landscape position are used to delineate management zones, but this approach is confounded by yield’s weather dependence, causing yield to evidence temporal variability/lack of yield stability. Management options (e.g. crop rotation) also influence yield stability. Our objective was to build a model that would describe the influence of crop rotation on the temporal yield stability of landscape defined management zones. Corn (Zea mays L.) yield data for two rotat... E.M. Pena-yewtukhiw, J. Grove |
