1. Development of Ground Based Multi-source Crop Information Collection System.Precision agriculture requires reliable technology to acquire accurate information on crop conditions. A ground-based integrated sensor and instrumentation system was developed to measure real-time crop conditions. The integration system included multispectral camera and N-sensor for real time Nitrogen application. The system was interfaced with a DGPS receiver to provide spatial coordinates for sensor readings. Before mounting of the sensors on modified paddy transplanter, different mountings... A.

2. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for Mitigating Bird Damage in Wine GrapesBird predation is a significant problem in high-value fruit crops, such as apples, cherries, blueberries, and wine grapes. Conventional methods such as netting, falconry, auditory scaring devices, lethal shooting, and visual scare devices are reported to be ineffective, costly, and/or difficult to manage. Therefore, farmers are in need of more effective and affordable bird control methods. In this study, two UAS wasused as a bird-deterring agent in a commercial vineyard. The experimental... S.
