1. Recognition And Classification Of Weeds In Sugarcane Using The Technique Of The Bag Of WordsThe production of sugar and ethanol in Brazil is very prominent economically and the reducing costs and improving the production system being necessary. The management crops operations of sugarcane and the control of weed is one of the processes that cause the greatest increase in production costs; because the competition that exists between cane plants and weed, for water, nutrients and sunlight is big, contribute to the loss of up to 20% of the useful cane. The use of image processing techniques... W.E. Santiago, A.R. Barreto, D.G. Figueredo, R.C. Tinini, B.T. Mederos, N.J. Leite |
2. Planet Labs' Monitoring Solution in Support of Precision Agriculture PracticesSatellite imagery is particularly useful for efficiently monitoring very large areas and providing regular feedback on the status and productivity of agricultural fields. These data are now widely used in precision farming; however, many challenges to making optimal use of this technology remain, such as easy access to data, management and exploitation of large datasets with deep time series, and sharing of the data and derived analytics with users. Providing satellite imagery through a cloud... K.J. Frotscher, R. Schacht, L. Smith, E. Zillmann |
3. Prototype Unmanned Aerial Sprayer for Plant Protection in Agricultural and Horticultural CropsAerial application of pesticides has the potential to reduce the amount of pesticides required as chemicals are applied where needed. A prototype Unmanned Aerial Sprayer with a payload of 20 kg; a spraying rate of 6 liters per minute; a spraying swathe of 3 meters, coverage rate of 2 to 4 meters per second and 10 minutes of flight time was built using state of the art technologies. The project is a joint development by University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, KLE Technological University,... S. Reddy, D.P. Biradar, V.C. Patil, B.L. Desai, V.B. Nargund, P. Patil, V. Desai, V. Tulasigeri, S.M. Channangi, W. John |
4. A Comparative Study of Field-Wide Estimation of Soil Moisture Using Compressive SensingIn precision agriculture, monitoring of soil moisture plays an essential role in correct decision making. In practice, regular mesh installation, or large random deployment of moisture sensors over a large field is not possible due to cost and maintenance prohibitions. Consequently, direct measurement of moisture is possible at only a few points in the field. A value for the moisture may then be estimated for the remaining areas using a variety of algorithms. It is shown that although... H. Pourshamsaei, A. Nobakhti |
5. Optimal Sensor Placement for Field-Wide Estimation of Soil MoistureSoil moisture is one of the most important parameters in precision agriculture. While techniques such as remote sensing seems appropriate for moisture monitoring over large areas, they generally do not offer sufficiently fine resolution for precision work, and there are time restrictions on when the data is available. Moreover, while it is possible to get high resolution-on demand data, but the costs are often prohibitive for most developing countries. Direct ground level measurement... H. Pourshamsaei, A. Nobakhti |

7. Citizens Perspectives on Robot-based Crop Farming – a Cluster Analysis Using Unsupervised Machine LearningArtificial intelligence (AI) and its possibilities and threats are prominently discussed by the broader public. Robotic solutions are based on AI and offer the potential to change agricultural production drastically. However, new food technologies have not been perceived solely positively by society in the past. Genetic engineering, for example, has been the subject of repeated controversy. Science communication theory suggests that individual opinion leaders highly influence steering a social... H. Zeddies, G. Busch |
8. Biochar Synthesis, Its Impact on Different Soils and Canola GrowthBiochar has been demonstrated as a soil amendment to improve soil health and plant yield. The present study aimed at investigating the potential of wheat straw on canola morphology and yield grown in different soils. The influence of biochar on soil physical and chemical properties was also assessed..Biochar was prepared by pyrolysis of wheat straw in a fixed-bed reactor. Crushed wheat straw was loaded into the reactor in an N2 environment, and the heating was continued up to... M. Hassan |
