1. Adoption and Tendencies of Precision Agriculture Technologies in the Tocantins State, BrazilAlthough precision agriculture is widely used throughout Brazilian crop production, it has not been used to increase the efficiency use of agricultural inputs. Besides, technologies available have not been... L. Bortolon, E. Borghi, A. Luchiari junior, E.S. Bortolon, A.A. Freitas, R.Y. Inamasu, J.C. Avanzi |
2. Adoption Level Of Precision Agriculture For Brazilian Farmers - 2011/12 Crop YearAlthough Precision Agriculture (PA) concepts and technologies are widespread in Brazil, its application still little used in some important crop production regions. The purpose of this study was to survey the current adoption level of PA by printed and online questionnaire. We started making a specific questionnaire to farmers and PA service companies using some technology related to PA. The questionnaires were developed based on the methodology of Whipker and Akridge (2009),... E. Borghi, A. Luchiari junior, L. Bortolon, E.S. Bortolon, R.Y. Inamasu, A.C. Bernardi, J.C. Avanzi |
3. Possibilities for Improved Decision Making and Operating Efficiency Derived from the Predictability of Autonomous Farming OperationsFor the last 6 years, small autonomous agricultural vehicles have been operating on Harper Adams University’s fields in Shropshire. Starting with a single tractor on a single rectangular hectare (2.5 acres) and moving on to three tractors on 5 irregularly shaped fields covering over 30 hectares (75 acres). Multiple crops have been grown; planting, tending, and harvesting with autonomous tractors and harvesters. The fields are worked using a Controlled Traffic Farming system,... M. Gutteridge |
4. Method to Optimize Soil Survey for Multiple Soil PropertyThe sugarcane production system in Colombia, spanning an area of 241,000 hectares in the geographical valley of the Cauca River, is recognized worldwide due to its high productivity, adoption of advanced technologies, and sustainable management. The natural soil and climate conditions in this region result in significant variability in the chemical and physical soil properties. Consequently, determining the soil variability is crucial to achieving its maximum productive potential through differentiated... D.F. Sandoval, D.F. Perdomo |
