1. Sensing The Inter-row For Real-time Weed Spot Spraying In Conventionally Tilled Corn FieldsThe spatial distribution of weeds is aggregated most of the time in crop fields. Site-specific management of weeds could result in economical and environmental benefits due to herbicide... L. Longchamps, B. Panneton, M. Simard, R. Theriault, T. Roger |
2. Partial Weed Scouting For Exhaustive Real-time Spot Spraying Of Herbicides In CornReal-time spot spraying of weeds implies the use of plant detectors ahead of a sprayer. The range of weed spatial autocorrelation perpendicularly to crop rows is often greater than the space between the corn rows. To assess the possibility of using less than one plant detector scouting each inter-row, a one hectare field was entirely sampled with ground pictures at the appropriate timing for weed spraying. Different ways of disposing the detectors ahead of the sprayer were virtually tested. Scouting... L. Longchamps, B. Panneton, G.D. Leroux, M. Simard, R. Theriault |
3. Development of a Quick Diagnosis Method to Target Fields with Better Potential for Site-Specific Weed ManagementSite-specific weed management appears as an innovative way of saving herbicides in crop while maintaining yield. This can potentially lead economic and ecological benefits. However, it was reported in the literature that savings range from 1 % to 94 % from one field to the other. This implies that certain fields... B. Panneton, M. Simard, G.D. Leroux, L. Longchamps |

5. Deriving Fertiliser VRA Calibration Based on Ground Sensing Data from Specific Field ExperimentsNitrogen (N) fertilisation affects both rice yield and quality. In order to improve grain yield while limiting N losses, providing N fertilisers during the critical growth stages is essential. NDRE is considered a reliable crop N status indicator, suitable to drive topdressing N fertilisation in rice. A multi-year experiment on different rice varieties (Gladio, Centauro, and Carnaroli) was conducted between 2011 and 2017 in Castello d’Agogna (PV), northwest Italy, with the aim of i) establishing...

6. Observational Studies in Agriculture: Paradigm Shift RequiredThere is a knowledge gap in agriculture. For instance, there is no way to tell with precision what is the outcome of cutting N fertilizer by a quarter on important outcomes such as yield, net return, greenhouse gas emissions or groundwater pollution. Traditionally, the way to generate knowledge in agriculture has been to conduct research with the experimental method where experiments are conducted in a controlled environment with trials replicated in space and...

7. Analysis of the Mapping Results Using SoilOptix TM Technology in Chile After Two SeasonsSoil mapping is a key element to successfully implement Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) in high value crops. SoilOptixTM is a mapping service based on the use of gamma radiation technology that arrived in Chile in 2019. Since then, around 2000 ha have been mapped, mainly in fruit orchards and vineyards. The technology has demonstrated its value in determining the most limiting factors in new and old orchards, and the possibility of correcting them in a site-specific... R.A. Ortega, A.F. Ortega, M.C.

8. Comparative Analysis of Spray Nozzles on Drones: Volumetric Distribution at Different HeightsAgricultural drones are emerging as a revolutionary tool in modern agriculture, aiming to enhance precision and efficiency in crop management. One of their main advantages is the ability to operate in adverse soil and canopy height conditions, making them a valuable instrument for the application of agrochemicals. In this context, the optimization of spraying systems plays a critical role, with the goal of ensuring the effective application of agrochemicals, aiming to maximize productivity and... A.

9. Spatio-temporal Analysis of Soil Moisture and Turfgrass Health to Investigate the Temporal Stability of Variable Rate Irrigation ZonesThe western USA has been experiencing severe drought conditions for at least the last 20 years. The population in many areas of the west, like Utah, has also increased greatly in this time putting greater strain on the limited freshwater supply. While agriculture is generally the sector consuming the largest proportion of freshwater, conversion of agricultural land to urban areas with lawns, parks and playing fields may result in some reduction of water use, but the EPA have estimated that as...
