1. Monitoring Drought Stress Index in Wheat Field of Mongolia Using Remote SensingWater stress during crop growth, even during short periods of a couple of weeks, is a major cause of yield reduction. The complexity in defining the magnitude of such water stress is due to diversity of crops grown in a given location, variability in soil type and conditions, spatial variability of rainfall, delay in timely of agriculture, and diversity in crop management practices. The problem associated with drought is... B.M. Banzragch, N.M. Damdinpurev, E.M. Batzorig |
2. Development of Land Leveling Equipment Based on GNSSAn attitude adjustable land leveling equipment was designed. The reference elevation of the land to be leveled was generated based on the topographic data which was acquired by the RTK-GNSS technology. The blade lifting mechanism was controlled by comparing the reference elevation and the real-time blade’s elevation and attitude data which was obtained by the dual antenna GNSS receiver and as a result the land leveling operation was implemented. A new algorithm using the electro-hydraulic... W. Fu, G. Wu, H. Bao, X. Wei, Z. Meng |
3. Shifting Fertiliser Response Zones in a Four Year, Whole-paddock Cereal Cropping Experiment.Precision agriculture in cropping areas of dryland Australia has focused on managing within production zones. These are ideally stable, possibly soil- and topography-based areas within fields. There are many different ideas on how to delimit and implement zones, and a four year whole-field experiment, with low, medium and high treatment philosophies applied per 9m seeder/harvester width across the entire field, was established to explore how zones might best be established and used. The treatment... B. Jones, T. Mcbeath, N. Wilhelm |
4. Optimization of Batch Processing of High-density Anisotropic Distributed Proximal Soil Sensing Data for Precision Agriculture PurposesThe amount of spatial data collected in agricultural fields has been increasing over the last decade. Advances in computer processing capacity have resulted in data analytics and artificial intelligence becoming hot topics in agriculture. Nevertheless, the proper processing of spatial data is often neglected, and the evaluation of methods that efficiently process agricultural spatial data remains limited. Yield monitor data is a good example of a well-established methodology for data processing... F. Hoffmann silva karp, V. Adamchuk, A. Melnitchouck, P. Dutilleul |
5. How Digital is Agriculture in South America? Adoption and LimitationsA rapidly growing population in a context of land and water scarcity, and climate change has driven an increase in healthy, nutritious, and affordable food demand while maintaining the current cropping area. Digital agriculture (DA) can contribute solutions to meet the demands in an efficient and sustainable way. South America (SA) is one of the main grain and protein producers in the world but the status of DA in the region is unknown. This article presents the results from a systematic review... G.

6. Effect of Application Rate and Height on Spray Deposition and Efficacy of Fungicides Applied with a Spray Drone in CornFoliar application of fungicides is a key management strategy for corn growers in the United States to protect crop yield from diseases like southern corn rust (SCR), tar spot (TS), and northern corn leaf blight (NLB). Recently, the use of spray drones for fungicide applications have gained an interest among growers and consultants due to their potential as another application tool to ensure the timely application of fungicides. Currently, the information on optimal application parameters to maximize... C. Byers, S. Virk, R.C. Kemerait |
7. Spray Deposition and Efficacy of Pesticide Applications with Spray Drones in Row Crops in the Southeastern USThe use of spray drones for pesticide applications is expanding rapidly in agriculture, with one of the top uses currently being in the row crop production. Several research studies were undertaken in 2022 and 2023 to measure and assess spray deposition and efficacy of pesticides applied with spray drones in the major row crops (corn, cotton and peanuts) grown in the southeastern US. These studies also evaluated and compared the deposition and pesticide efficacy of spray drones with traditional... C. Byers, R. Meena, J. Kichler, R.C. Kemerait, L. Hand, S. Virk |
8. Static and In-field Validation of Application Accuracy of Commercial Spray Drones at Varying Rates and SpeedsThe emerging application of spray drones in agriculture for pesticide delivery has seen significant interest recently. Currently, various spray drone platforms with advanced capabilities such as variable-rate application and edge-spraying are commercially available; however, limited research and information is available regarding the application accuracy of these systems. Pesticide applications with spray drones in several research studies conducted at the University of Georgia in 2023 indicated... S. Virk, R.K. Meena, C. Byers |
9. Application Accuracy of Two Different Sprayer Flow Control Systems During Site-specific Pesticide ApplicationsPrecise and efficient pesticide applications are crucial aspects of modern agriculture to effectively manage pests throughout the season while also reducing the negative impacts of pesticides on the environment. Recent advancements in spray technology, such as pulse width modulation (PWM) and individual nozzle control, have enabled capabilities for site-specific pesticide applications on modern application equipment. With the increasing interest of industry and growers in site-specific pesticide... R.K. Meena, S. Virk, C. Byers, G. Rains |
10. Spray Deposition Characterization of Uniform and Variable-rate Applications with Spray DronesThe use of unmanned aerial application systems (also known as spray drones) has seen rapidly increasing interest in recent years due to their potential to allow for timely application of pesticides and being able to apply in areas inaccessible to ground application sprayers. Newer spray drone models’ have improved application systems such as rotary atomizers for creating spray droplets and capabilities such as variable-rate (VR) application for site-specific pesticide applications. An investigation... C. Byers, S. Virk, R.K. Meena, G. Rains |
11. Predicting Soil Chemical Properties Using Proximal Soil Sensing Technologies and Topography Data: a Case StudyUsing proximal soil sensors (PSS) is widely recognized as a strategy to improve the quality of agricultural soil maps. Nevertheless, the signals captured by PSS are complex and usually relate to a combination of processes in the soil. Consequently, there is a need to explore further the interactions at the source of the information provided by PSS. The objectives of this study were to examine the relationship between proximal sensing techniques and soil properties and evaluate the feasibility... F. Hoffmann silva karp, V. Adamchuk, P.
