1. Recognition And Classification Of Weeds In Sugarcane Using The Technique Of The Bag Of WordsThe production of sugar and ethanol in Brazil is very prominent economically and the reducing costs and improving the production system being necessary. The management crops operations of sugarcane and the control of weed is one of the processes that cause the greatest increase in production costs; because the competition that exists between cane plants and weed, for water, nutrients and sunlight is big, contribute to the loss of up to 20% of the useful cane. The use of image processing techniques... W.E. Santiago, A.R. Barreto, D.G. Figueredo, R.C. Tinini, B.T. Mederos, N.J. Leite |
2. Technology Support for Game Monitoring As a Tool for Damages Reduction of Field CropsWild boars (Sus scrofa) are increasingly becoming the main cause of field crops damage in Czech Republic and central Europe area. There are many reasons why wild boars population is growing. The major reason is most likely change in the composition of field crops. In some areas in particular there is focus on oilseed rape and maize, for which there are also recorded the biggest losses. One of the key discussion topics is the issue of estimation of animal quantities and its traceability.... J. Jarolimek, M. Stočes, M. Ulman, J. Vaněk |
3. Open Data for Food Quality and Food Security Control: a Case Study of the Czech RepublicFood quality and food security is of a high public interest in the European Union. In the Czech Republic, food quality and food security is under control of three different public authorities: the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (CTIA) that is affiliated with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) that is affiliated with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic and the regional network of hygienic stations...

4. Precision Agriculture Techniques for Crop Management in Trinidad and Tobago: Methodology & Field LayoutAgriculture in Trinidad and Tobago has not advanced at the same rate at which new agricultural technology has been released. This has led to large-scale abandonment of crop lands as challenges posed by labor availability and their agronomic capability could not meet the technological demands for agricultural production, competitiveness and sustainability. There is an urgent need to develop technology-based agriculture models to meet the demands of a modern agricultural sector and to maintain its... G. Seepersad, T. Sampson, S. Seepersad, D. Goorahoo |
5. Prediction of Nitrogen Needs with Nitrogen-rich Strips and Ramped Nitrogen StripsBoth nitrogen rich strips and ramped nitrogen strips have been used to estimate topdress nitrogen needs for winter wheat based on in-season optical reflectance data. The ramped strip system places a series of small plots in each field with increasing levels of nitrogen to determine the application rate at which predicted yield response to nitrogen reaches a plateau. The nitrogen-rich strip system uses a nitrogen fertilizer optimization algorithm based on optical reflectance measures from the nitrogen-rich... D.C. Roberts, B.W. Brorsen, W.R. Raun, J.B. Solie |
6. Developing Nitrogen Algorithms for Corn Production Using Optical SensorsRemote sensing for nitrogen management in cereal crops has been an intensive research area due to environmental concerns and economic realities of today’s agronomic system. In the search for improved nitrogen rate decisions, what approach is most often taken and are those approaches justified through scientific investigation? The objective of this presentation is to educate decision makers on how these algorithms are developed and evaluate how well they work in the field on a small-plot... R.W. Mullen, S.B. Phillips, W.R.

7. Controller Performance Criteria for Sensor Based Variable Rate ApplicationSensor based variable rate application of crop inputs provides unique challenges for traditional rate controllers when compared to map based applications. The controller set point is typically changing every second whereas with a map based systems the set point changes much less frequently. As applied data files for a sensor based variable rate nitrogen applicator were obtained from a wheat field in north central Oklahoma. These data were analyzed to determine the magnitude and frequency of rate... R.K. Taylor, P. Bennur, J.B. Solie, N. Wang, P. Weckler, W.R. Raun |
8. Evaluation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Images in Estimating Cotton Nitrogen ContentEstimating crop nitrogen content is a critical step for optimizing nitrogen fertilizer application. The objective of this study was to evaluate the application of UAV images in estimating cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) N content. This study was conducted in a dryland cotton field in Garza County, Texas, in 2020. The experiment was implemented as a randomized complete block design with three N rates of 0, 34, and 67 kg N ha-1. A RedEdge multispectral sensor was used to acquire... R. Karn, H. Gu, O. Adedeji, W. Guo |
9. Modeling Spatial and Temporal Variability of Cotton Yield Using DSSAT for Decision Support in Precision AgricultureThe quantification of spatial and temporal variability of cotton yield provides critical information for optimizing resources, especially water. The Southern High Plains (SHP) of Texas is a major cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production region with diminishing water supply. The objective of this study was to predict cotton yield variability using soil properties and topographic attributes. The DSSAT CROPGRO-Cotton model was used to simulate cotton growth, development and yield using... B.P. Ghimire, O. Adedeji, Z. Lin, W. Guo |
10. Within Field Cotton Yield Prediction Using Temporal Satellite Imagery Combined with Deep LearningCrop yield prediction at the field scale plays a pivotal role in enhancing agricultural management, a vital component in addressing global food security challenges. Regional or county-level data, while valuable for broader agricultural planning, often lacks the precision required by farmers for effective and timely field management. The primary obstacle in utilizing satellite imagery to forecast crop yields at the field level lies in its low temporal and spatial resolutions. This study aims to... R. Karn, O. Adedeji, B.P.
