1. Young Leaf Detection for Spot Spray Treatment of Citrus Canopies to Control PsyllidsHuanglongbing (HLB) is an important disease of citrus that is spread mainly through a vector, psyllid (Diaphorina citri), that feeds predominantly on young leaves. Given the selective feeding of the insect, treating only the young flush, instead of spraying the entire... R. Ehsani, M. Salyani, J.M. Maja, A.R. Mishra, P.A. Larbi, J. Camargo Neto |
2. Determinants of Ex-ante Adoption of Precision Agriculture Technologies by Cocoa Farmers in GhanaThe study was to identify the best predictors of cocoa Farmers willingness to adopt future Precision Agriculture Technology (PAT) Development in Ghana. Correlational research design was used. The target population was all cocoa farmers who benefited from Cocoa High Technology Programme (an initiative of distributing free fertilizer by government to cocoa farmers) in Ghana. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 422 out of 400,000 cocoa farmers in the six (6) out of the seven (7) cocoa... M. Bosompem, J.A. Kwarteng, H.D. Acquah |
3. UAV-based Hyperspectral Monitoring of Peach Trees As Affected by Silicon Applications and Water Stress StatusPrevious research has shown that the application of reduced doses of Silicon (Si) improves crop tolerance to water stress, which is common in commercial young peach trees because irrigation is not usually applied during their first two years. In this study, aerial images were used to monitor the impact of different Si and water treatments on the hyperspectral response of peach trees. An experiment with 60 young (under 1 year old) peach trees located at the Musser Fruit Research Center (Seneca,... J. Peña, J. Melgar, A. De Castro, J. Maja, K. Nascimento-silva |
4. Analytics Model for Predicting Sucrose Percentage in Sugarcane Using Machine Learning TechniquesSucrose is one of the most important indicators in the final profitability of Colombian sugar mills, therefore, its understanding and forecast are fundamental for the business. In this work, a proposal is formulated for an analysis model that allows predicting the percentage of sucrose based on historical data from mechanically harvested farms with the objective of knowing the numerical value of sucrose for each month of milling and be able to plan monthly and annual sugar production. Regarding... P. Valencia Ramirez |
