2. Spatial Apparent Electrical Conductivity (ECa), Soil Moisture and Water Use Efficiency in Vertosol SoilsProducing high resolution maps of water use efficiency (crop yield per unit of water consumption; WUE) for precision crop management is limited by our ability to readily produce maps of soil moisture...

3. Assessing Definition Of Management Zones Trough Yield MapsYield mapping is one of the core tools of precision agriculture, showing the result of combined growing factors. In a series of yield maps collected along seasons it is possible to observe not only the spatial distribution of the productivity but also its spatial consistency among different seasons. This work proposes the study of distinct methods to analyze yield stability in grain crops regarding its potential for defining management zones from a historical sequence of yield maps. Two methods... M.T. Eitelwein, J.P. Molin, M. Spekken, R.G. Trevisan |
4. Site Specific Costs Concerning Machine Path OrientationComputer algorithms have been created to simulate in advance the orientation/pattern of a machine operation on a field. Undesired impacts were obtained and quantified for these simulations, like: maneuvering and overlap of inputs in headlands; servicing of secondary units; and soil loss by water erosion. While the efforts could minimize the overall costs, they disregard the fact that these costs aren’t uniformly distributed over irregular fields. The cost of a non-productive machine process... M.

5. UAV Images As a Source for Retrieval of Machine Tracks and Vegetation Gaps Along Crop RowsThe trend of acquiring equipment and obtaining high resolution remote sensed images by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have been followed by sugarcane producers in Brazil, given its low cost. The images taken from fields have been used for retrieval of information like Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) from stereoscopy of overlapping images and spatial variance of biomass. In sugarcane production, driving deviations occur during planting because of manual steering inaccuracy, sliding of machines sideways... M. Spekken, J.P. Molin |
6. Salinity Stress Assessment on Vegetation Cover in Arid Regions Using Visible Range Indices of True Color Aerial UAV/Drone ImagesDate palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is one of the most important plant growing in arid and semi-arid regions, where it has a social, cultural, economic and nutritious importance. Although date palm can be ranked as the highest salt tolerance plant among fruit crop, extreme salinity can negatively affect its growth, yield and fruit quality. Inadequate annual rainfall of arid regions has stressed and rapidly decreased date palm plantation due to salinity and drought. In this study unmanned aerial... Y.A. Al-mulla, S. Al-rahbi |
