1. Automatic Remote Image Processing For Agriculture Uses Through Specific SoftwareAbstract ... D. Gómez-candón, J.J. Caballero-novella, J.M. Peña-barragán, M. Jurado-expósito, F. López-granados, L. Garcia-torres, A.I. Decastro |
2. Multi-sensor Remote Sensing: an AI-driven Framework for Predicting Sugarcane FeedstockPredicting saccharine and bioenergy feedstocks in sugarcane enables stakeholders to determine the precise time and location for harvesting a better product in the field. Consequently, it can streamline workflows while enhancing the cost-effectiveness of full-scale production. On one hand, Brix, Purity, and total reducing sugars (TRS) can provide meaningful and reliable indicators of high-quality raw materials for industrial food and fuel processing. On the other hand, Cellulose, Hemicellulose,... M. Barbosa, D. Duron, F. Rontani, G. Bortolon, B. Moreira, L. Oliveira, T. Setiyono, L. Shiratsuchi, R.P. Silva, K.H. Holland |
3. UAV Multispectral Data As a Suitable Tool for Predicting Sweetness, Size, and Yield of Vidalia OnionsVidalia onions is a specialty crop cultivated solely within the southeastern region of Georgia. The key distinguishing characteristic of Vidalia onions is its high sugar content, making them highly prized and widely consumed. Ten thousand acres are grown with Vidalia Onions each year approximately, and the market value (~$150Mi/year) makes the crop very important for the State of Georgia. Traditionally, the planting, weeding, spraying, harvesting, and post-harvesting operations are usually done... M. Barbosa, L. Oliveira, C. Tyson, A. Shirley, R. Santos, L. Sales, R. Vargas |
4. Advancements in Agricultural Robots for Specialty Crops: a Comprehensive Review of Innovations, Challenges, and ProspectsThe emergence of robot technology presents a timely opportunity to revolutionize specialty crop production, offering crucial support across various activities such as planting, supporting general traits, and harvesting. These robots play a pivotal role in keeping stakeholders up-to-date of developments in their production fields, while providing them the capability to automate laborious tasks. Then, to elucidate the advancements in this domain, we present the results of a comprehensive review... M. Barbosa, R. Santos, L. Sales, L. Oliveira |
5. Lameness Detection in Dairy Cattle Using GPS and Accelerometers Wearable SensorsLameness significantly impacts cow health and welfare on dairy farms, yet identifying lamecows remains challenging. Wearable sensors like GPS and accelerometers show promise for automated lameness detection, but their effectiveness outdoors is still unclear. Therefore, there are gaps in understanding their applicability and the necessary features for outdoor settings. Additionally, it is uncertain whether environmental factors, such as temperature and time of day, influence their the model performance,... N. Mhlongo, H. De Knegt, W.F. De Boer, F. Van Langevelde |
6. Evaluation of an Ai-Driven High-Precision Spraying System for Targeted Weed Control in OnionsWeeds are a persistent challenge in the Vidalia onion production region, where limited herbicide options make placement and selectivity critical. AI-based high-precision spraying systems may reduce herbicide use and crop injury by targeting only weeds and non-crop areas. This study compared the Ecorobotix ARA high-precision sprayer operating in an all-but-the-crop mode with a conventional broadcast application for weed control, crop phytotoxicity, and onion performance. A field trial was conducted... R. Dos Santos, L. Oliveira, L.D. Sales, M. Barbosa, C.T. Tyson |
7. Integrated Evaluation of Precision Spraying Systems in Pecan Orchards: Smart Apply System™, Conventional Airblast, and Drone ApplicationPecan production in Georgia faces increasing challenges related to weather variability, rising labor costs, and higher prices of agricultural inputs, particularly fungicides required for scab (Venturia effusa) management. Conventional air-assisted sprayers operate at fixed application rates and do not account for tree size variability or canopy gaps, often resulting in overapplication and reduced efficiency. Emerging precision technologies, such as Smart Apply™ sprayers and spray... R.P. Oliveira, J.P. Silva, J.V. Martins, R. Dos Santos, M. Barbosa, L. Oliveira |
8. Exploring the XAG R150 UGV Capabilities: Air-Assisted vs Vertical Boom Attachment AssessmentsRobotic spraying platforms are rapidly advancing in specialty crop production; however, limited information exists regarding optimal spray parameters under different crop spacings and spray configurations. The XAG R150 robotic sprayer is a ground-based autonomous system capable of operating in both air-assisted and vertical/horizontal boom spraying modes, offering flexibility for diverse row-crop environments. This study evaluated spray performance parameters of the XAG R150 under varying crop... |
