1. Young Leaf Detection for Spot Spray Treatment of Citrus Canopies to Control PsyllidsHuanglongbing (HLB) is an important disease of citrus that is spread mainly through a vector, psyllid (Diaphorina citri), that feeds predominantly on young leaves. Given the selective feeding of the insect, treating only the young flush, instead of spraying the entire... R. Ehsani, M. Salyani, J.M. Maja, A.R. Mishra, P.A. Larbi, J. Camargo neto |
2. The Performance Of Mobile Devices' Inertial Measurement Unit For The Detection Of Cattle's Behaviors On PastureOver the past decade, the Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) concept has taken a considerable place in the development of accurate methods for a better management of farm animals. The recent technological improvements allow the raising of numerous motion sensors such as accelerometers and GPS tracking. Several studies have shown the relevancy of these sensors to distinguish the animals’ behavior using various classification techniques such as neuronal networks or multivariate... A.

3. Precision Placement of Corn Gluten Meal for Weed Control in Organic Vegetable ProductionOrganic vegetable producers rank weeds as one of their most troublesome, time consuming, and costly production problems. As a result of the limited number of organically approved weed control herbicides, the precision placement of these materials increases their potential usefulness in organic production systems. As a non-selective preemergence or preplant-incorporated herbicide, corn gluten meal (CGM) inhibits root development; decreases shoot length, and reduces plant survival. The development... C.L.

4. Coupling Machine Learning Algorithms and GIS for Crop Yield Predictions Based on Remote Sensing Imagery and Topographic IndicesIn-season yield prediction can support crop management decisions helping farmers achieve their yield goals. The use of remote sensing to predict yield it is an alternative for non-destructive yield assessment but coupling auxiliary data such as topography features could help increase the accuracy of yield estimation. Predictive algorithms that can effectively identify, process and predict yield at field scale base on remote sensing and topography still needed. Machine learning could be an alternative... M.F. Oliveira, G.T. Morata, B. Ortiz, R.P. Silva, A. Jimenez |
5. Transforming Precision Agriculture Education, Research and Outreach in Sub-saharan Africa Through Intra-africa CooperationProductivity and profitability of sub-Saharan (SSA) agriculture can be enhanced greatly through the adoption of precision agriculture technologies and tools. However, until 2020 when the African Plant Nutrition Institute (APNI) established the African Association for Precision Agriculture (AAPA), most SSA PA enthusiast worked in isolation. The AAPA was formed to innovate Africa’s agricultural industry by connecting PA science to its practice and disseminate PA tailored to the needs... K.A. Frimpong, S. Phillips, V.

6. Emerging Megatrends of Sustainable Nutrient Management Research in Sub-saharan AfricaAfrica has the 12th highest population growth rates in the world, which may double by 2050; and have bio-physical constraints which impinge on development, that need to be addressed. This ever-increasing human population demands corresponding increase in food production, where low nutrient use and management is a critical challenge. Most research conducted by African scientists are rarely used in decision-making, because they are not properly aligned with the needs of decision-makers due to weak... V. Aduramigba-modupe, K.
