1. Smart Agriculture: A Futuristic Vision of Application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in Brazilian AgricultureWith the economy based on agribusiness, Brazil is an important representative on the world stage in agricultural production, either in terms of quantity or cultivated diversity due to a scenario with vast arable land and favorable climate. There are many crops that are adapteble to soils of the country. Despite the global representation, it is known that the Brazilian agricultural production does not yet have a modern agriculture by restricting the use of new technologies to farmers with better...

2. Investigation of Automated Analysis of Snowmelt from Time-series Sentinel 2 Imagery to Inform Spatial Patterns of Spring Soil Moisture in the American Mountain WestVariable rate irrigation of crops is a promising approach for saving water whilst maintaining crop yields in the semi-arid American Mountain West – much of which is currently experiencing a mega drought. The first step in determining irrigation zones involves characterizing the patterns of spatial variation in soil moisture and determining if these are relatively stable temporally in relation to topographic features and soil texture. Characterizing variable rate irrigation zones is usually... I. Turner, R. Kerry, R. Jensen, E. Woolley, N. Hansen, B. Hopkins |
3. Spatial Analysis of Soil Moisture and Turfgrass Health to Determine Zones for Spatially Variable Irrigation ManagementThe Western United States is currently experiencing a “Mega Drought”. This makes efficient water use more important than ever. Turfgrass is a major vegetation type in urban areas and performs many ecosystem services such as cooling through evapotranspiration, fixing carbon from the atmosphere and reducing wild-fire risk. There are now more acres of irrigated turfgrass (>40 million) in the USA than irrigated corn, wheat and fruit trees combined (Milesi et al., 2005). It has been... R. Kerry, S. Shumate, B. Ingram, K.
