1. Adoption Of N-application Rates In Different Broccoli Cultivars By Reflectance MeasurementsTo date many sensors have been solely developed and tested for arable crops. This project aims to develop the means to rapidly map N-demand in broccoli plants on a site-specific, plant-by-plant basis using reflectance measurements. The aim of this specific study was to monitor nitrogen status in six different broccoli cultivars using reflectance measurements and to derive suitable N-fertilization strategies based on the sensor measurements.A...

2. Practical and Affordable Technologies for Precision Agriculture in Small Fields: Present Status and Scope in IndiaThe objective of this review paper is to find out practical and affordable precision agriculture(PA) technologies present status and scope in India that are suitable for small fields. The judicious use of inputs like water, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and better management of farm equipments will increase the net profit for farmers. The important components of PA in India which are being used for small lands are Geographic Information System(GIS), laser land leveler, leaf color chart,... S. Kumar, M. Singh, H.

3. Economic Evaluation of Automatic Heat Detection Systems in Dairy FarmingAlthough heat detection makes a relevant contribution to good reproduction performance of dairy cattle, available studies on the economic evaluations of automatic heat detection systems are limited. Therefore, the objective of this article is to provide an economic evaluation of using automatic heat detection. The effect of different heat detection rates on gross margin is modelled with SimHerd (SimHerd A/S, Denmark). The analysis considers all additional investment costs in automatic heat detection.... J.
