1. Maize Seeding Rate Optimization in Iowa Using Soil and Topographic Characteristics.The ability to collect soil, topography, and productivity information at spatial scales has become more feasible and more reliable with many advancement in precision technologies. This ability, combined with precision services and the accessibility farmers have to equipment capable implementing precision practices, has led to continued interest in making site-specific crop management decisions. The objective of this research was to utilize soil and topographic parameters to optimize seeding rates... M.A. Licht, A. Lenssen, R. Elmore |
2. Design of VAV System of Air Assisted Sprayer in Orchard and Experimental Study in ChinaOne type of new automatic target detecting based on size of canopy with variable chemical dosage and air-flow of fan orchard sprayer was designed and developed to meet the demand of chemical pest control in orchards. Canopy parameter data scanned by infrared sensors and LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) were used to detect the target and to design spraying algorithm and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control system. Four integrated five-finger atomizers were equipped on each side of sprayer, independent... H. Xiongkui, L. Longlong, S. Jianli, Z. Aijun, L. Yajia |
3. Variable Rate Fertilization in a High-yielding Vineyard of Cv. Trebbiano Romagnolo May Reduce Nitrogen Application and Vigour Variability Without Loss of Crop LoadThe site-specific management of vineyard cultural practices may reduce the spatial variability of vine vigor, contributing to achieve the desired yield and grape composition. In this framework, variable rate fertilization may effectively contribute to reduce the different availability of mineral nutrients between different areas of the vineyard, and so achieving the vine’s aforementioned performances. The present study was aimed to apply a variable rate fertilization in a high-yielding... G. Allegro, R. Martelli, G. Valentini, C. Pastore, R. Mazzoleni, F. Pezzi, I. Filippetti, A. Ali |
4. Overcoming Educational Barriers for Precision Agriculture Adoption: a University Diploma in Precision Agriculture in ArgentinaThe lack of educational programs in Precision Agriculture (PA) has been reported as one of the barriers for adoption. Our goal was to improve professional competence in PA through education in crop variability, management, and effective practices of PA in real cases. In the last 20 years different efforts has been made in Argentina to increase adoption of PA. The Universidad Nacional de Rio Cuarto (UNRC) launched in 2021 the first University Diploma in PA, a 9-month program to train agronomist... G. Balboa, A. Degioanni, R. Bongiovanni, R. Melchiori, C.

5. Enhancing Precision Agriculture with Cosmic-ray Neutron Sensing: Monitoring Soil Moisture Dynamics and Its Impact on Grapevine PhysiologyPrecision agriculture has emerged as a transformative approach in modern viticulture, seeking to optimize vineyard management. Vineyard operations rely heavily on effective water management, especially in regions where water availability can significantly affect grape quality and yield. The relationship between soil moisture and grapevine physiology is however complex. Therefore, understanding these relationships is crucial for optimizing vineyard operations. Cosmic-ray neutron sensing (CRNS)... R. Mazzoleni, F. Vinzio, S. Emamalizadeh, G. Allegro, I. Filippetti, G. Baroni |
6. Integration of Post Emergence Herbicide (PoE) with Nano-urea for Optimized Management of Weed in Indian Black Mustard (Brassica Juncea L.)Nano-urea (NU) is gaining attention due to its environmental benefits and precise application. Unlike traditional urea fertilizers, NU is engineered at the nanoscale, which increases its efficiency and reduces environmental impacts. However, limited research has been done to evaluate the combined effect of herbicides and NU. Therefore, the overarching goal of our study is to conduct field trials to understand the optimization rates of the synergized composition of herbicide and NU. Our hypothesis... B. Duary, U.
