1. Brazilian Precision Agriculture Research NetworkThe adoption of adequate technologies for food, biomass and fiber production can increase yield and quality and also reduce environmental impact through an efficient input application. Precision agriculture is the way to decisively contribute with efficient production with environment protection in Brazil. Based on this, recently Embrapa established the Brazilian Precision... J.D.

2. Economic and Environmental Impacts in Sugarcane Production to Meet the Brazilian Ethanol Demands by 2030: The Role of Precision AgricultureThe agreement signed at COP-21 reaffirms the vital compromise of Brazil with sugarcane and ethanol production. To meet the established targets, the ethanol production should be 54 billion liters in 2030. From the agronomic standpoint, two alternatives are possible; increase the planted area and/or agricultural yield. The present study aimed to evaluate the economic and environmental impacts in sugarcane production meeting the established targets in São Paulo state. In this context, were... G.M. Sanches, T.F.

3. Potential of Apparent Soil Electrical Conductivity to Describe Soil Spatial Variability in Brazilian Sugarcane FieldsThe soil apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) has been highlighted in the literature as a tool with high potential to map the soil fertility of fields. However, sugarcane fields still lack results that show the applicability of this information to define the soil spatial variability and its fertility conditions. The objective of the present paper was to provide a comprehensive assessment of the relationship between ECa, evaluated by electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensor, and the spatial variability... G.M.

4. Airborne Spectral Detection of Leaf Chlorophyll Concentration in Wild BlueberriesLeaf chlorophyll concentration (LCC) detection is crucial for monitoring crop physiological status, assessing the overall health of crops, and estimating their photosynthetic potential. Fast, non-destructive, and spatially extensive monitoring of LCC in crops is critical for accurately diagnosing and assessing crop health in large commercial fields. Advancements in hyperspectral remote sensing offer non-destructive and spatially extensive alternatives for monitoring plant parameters such as LCC.... K. Barai, C. Ewanik, V. Dhiman, Y. Zhang, U.R.
