1. Evaluation of Application Effect of the Laser Land Leveling Technology in Typical Areas of ChinaThe technology of laser land leveling can improve the accuracy of land leveling and it is the important measure of improving irrigation efficiency and facilitating more uniform distribution of irrigation water. The technology is more widely used in China in... W. Guangwei, M. Zhijun, C. Liping, F. Weiqiang, D. Jianjun |
2. Developing A High-Resolution Land Data Assimilation And Forecast System For Agricultural Decision SupportTechnological advances in weather and climate forecasting and land surface and hydrology modeling have led to an increased ability to predict soil temperature, and soil moisture, near-surface weather elements. These variables are critical building blocks to the development of high-level agriculture-specific models such as pest models and crop yield models. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has developed a high-resolution agriculture-oriented land-data assimilation... W. Mahoney, M. Barlage, D. Gochis, F. Chen |
3. Development of a PWM Precision Spraying System for Unmanned HelicopterApplication of protection materials is a crucial component in the high productivity of agriculture. Motivated by the needs of aerial precision application, in this paper we present a pulse width modulation (PWM) based precision spraying system for unmanned helicopter. The system is composed of the tank, pipelines, pump, nozzles and the automatic control unit. The system can spray with a constant rate automatically when the speed of the UAV fluctuates between 1 m/s to 8 m/s. The application rate... R. Zhang, L. Chen, T. Yi, Y. Guo, H. Zhang |
4. Exploring Wireless Sensor Network Technology in Sustainable Okra Garden: A Comparative Analysis of Okra Grown in Different Fertilizer TreatmentsThe goal of this project was to explore commercial agricultural and irrigation sensor kits and to discern if the commercial wireless sensor network (WSN) is a viable tool for providing accurate real-time farm data at the nexus of food energy and water. The smart garden consists of two different varieties of Abelmoschus esculentus (okra) planted in raised beds, each grown under two different fertilizer treatments. Soil watermark sensors were programed to evaluate soil moisture and dictate irrigation... L. Burton, K. Jayachandran, S. Bhansali, Y. Mekonnen, A. Sarwat |
5. Application of Advanced Soft Computing to Estimate Potato Tuber Yield: a Case Study from Atlantic CanadaThe potato crop plays a crucial role in the economy of Atlantic Canada, particularly in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, where it contributes significantly to potato production. To help farmers make informed decisions for sustainable and profitable farming, this study was conducted to examine the variations in potato tuber yield based on thirty soil properties collected over four growing seasons through experimental trials. The study employed an advanced and explainable ensemble model called... Q.U. Zaman, A. Farooque, M. Jamei, T.J. Esau |
