1. Interest Of 3D Modeling For Lai Retrieval From Canopy Transmittance Measurements: The Cases Of Wheat And VineyardRemote sensing techniques are now widely used in agriculture, for cultivar screening as well as for decision making tools. Empirical methods relate directly the remote sensing measured values to crop characteristics. These methods are limited by the important amount of ground data necessary for their calibration. Their validity domain is generally not very well defined as well as the associated uncertainties. Conversely, radiative transfer models allow simulating a wide range of conditions, a... B.

2. Comparative Performance Of Different Remote Sensing (RS) And Geographic Information System (GIS) Techniques Of Wheat Area And Production EstimatesThe major wheat producing countries in the world are India, China, USA, France, Russia, Canada and Australia. Global demand for wheat is growing @ 1% per year. Crop growth and productivity are determined by a large number of factors such as genetic potential of crop cultivar, soil, weather and management variables, which vary significantly across time and space. Early prediction of crop yield is important for planning and taking various policy decisions. Many countries use th... V.C. Patil, K.A. Al-gaadi |
3. SPOT5 Multispectral Data Potentialities To Monitor Potato Crop Nitrogen Status At Specific Field ScaleThe many challenges facing European agriculture and farm of tomorrow are such that they increasingly require the setting up of Decision Support Systems (DSS) that favour integrated crop management at farm or regional level. A valuable DSS for management of split fertilizer N applications was developed in Belgium for potato crop. It combines total N recommendation based on field predictive balance-sheet method along with Crop Nitrogen Status (CNS) monitoring through hand-held chlorophyll meter... J. Goffart, A. Leonard, D.

4. A Comparison Of Spectral Reflectance And Laser-induced Cholorphyll Fluorescence Measurements To Detect Differences In Aerial Dry Weight And Nitrogen Update Of WheatChlorophyll fluorescence and spectral reflectance analysis are both powerful tools to study the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of plants` biomass and nitrogen status. Whereas reflectance techniques have intensively been tested for their use in precision fertilizer application, laser-induced chlorophyll fluorescence has been tested to a lesser degree, and there are hardly any...

5. Chlorophyll Fluorescence Approaches To Estimate The Vitality Of PlantsChlorophyll fluorescence is a now well-established technique for the analysis of photosynthesis in plants and algae. Fluorescence transients (Kautsky curves), exhibited by photosynthetic organisms under different conditions provide detail information about the structure, conformation and function of the photosynthetic apparatus, especially of photosystem II. The analysis of the so-called OJIP-curve and of the pulsed-aplitude-modulated fluorometry in conjunction with the satur... R. Valcke, D. Bierman |
6. Evaluation Of The Multiplex® Fluorescence Sensor For The Assessment Of Corn Nitrogen StatusThe Multiplex® is a new hand-held optical fluorescence sensor for non-destructive measurement of about 20 parameters descriptive of plant physiological status. The Multiplex is of potential value for in-season assessment of crop nitrogen status, but no evaluation has been released for that matter as of yet. An experiment was therefore conducted which consisted of four nitrogen fertilization treatments with 0, 20, 5... Y. Zhang, N. Tremblay |
7. Robustness of Pigment Analysis in Tree FruitThe non-destructive application of spectrophotometry for analyzing fruit pigments has become a promising tool in precise fruit production. Particularly, the pigment contents are interesting to the growers as they provide information on the harvest maturity and fruit quality for marketing. The absorption of chlorophyll at its Q band provides quantitative information on the chlorophyll pool of fruit. As a challenge appears the in-situ measurement at varying developmental stage of the fruit due ... M. Zude-sasse, C. Regen, J. Käthner |
8. Comparison of Plant and Soil Mapping in Prunus Domestica L. OrchardIn the present study, the soil apparent electrical conductivity, ECa, and the plant water status were analyzed in plum production (Prunus domestica L 'Tophit plus'/Wavit) targeting (i) the spatial characterization of soil ECa and fruit yield, (ii) instantaneous water status, and (iii) cumulative pattern of water status and yield. The plum orchard is located in semi-humid, temperate climate (Potsdam, Germany), capturing 0.37 ha with 156 trees. Measurements were carried out on... M. Zude-sasse, J. Käthner, W.B. Herppich, J.

9. Spatial Variability of Canopy Volume in a Commercial Citrus GroveLiDAR (light detection and ranging) sensors have shown good potential to estimate canopy volume and guide variable rate applications in different fruit crops. Oranges are a major crop in Brazil; however the spatial variability of geometrical parameters remains still unknown in large commercial groves, as well as the potential benefit of sensor guided variable rate applications. Thus, the objective of this work was to characterize the spatial variability of the canopy volume in a commercial or... A.F. Colaço, J.P. Molin, R.G. Trevisan, J.R. Rosell-polo, A. Escolà |
10. Use of the Active Sensor Optrx to Measure Canopy Changes to Evaluate Foliar Treatments and to Identify Soil Quality in Table GrapeTable Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is the main exporting horticultural crop in Chile, with the country being one of the top exporters at the world level. Commonly, grape producers perform trials of different commercial products which are not evaluated in an objective way. On the other hand they do not have the tools to easily identify areas within the field that may have some limiting factor. The use of active ground sensors that pass under the canopy several times during the season ma... R.A. Ortega, M.M. Martinez, H.P. Poblete |
