1. Effective Use of a Debris Cleaning Brush for Mechanical Wild Blueberry HarvestingWild blueberries are an important horticultural crop native to northeastern North America. Management of wild blueberry fields has improved over the past decade causing increased plant density and leaf foliage. The majority of wild blueberry fields are picked mechanically using tractor mounted harvesters with 16 rotating rakes that gently comb through the plants. The extra foliage has made it more difficult for the cleaning brush to remove unwanted debris (leaf, stems, weeds, etc.) from the picker... K. Esau, Q. Zaman, A. Farooque, A. Schumann |
2. 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.
