1. Validation of Variable Rate Spray Decision Rules in Intricate Micro-Metrological ConditionsThis study evaluated validity of modified spray decision rules formed to operate axial fan airblast sprayer retrofitted for use in citrus production. The sprayer was field tested in a spraying... L.R. Khot, R. Ehsani, G. Albrigo, J. campoy, C. Wellington, W. Swen, J. Camergo neto |
2. Creation Of Prescription For Optimal Nitrogen Fertilization Through Evaluation Of Soil Carbon Amount Using Remotely Sensed DataIn these years, drastic increase of agricultural production costs has been induced, which was triggered by the sharp rise of costs relating to agricultural production materials such as fertilizers and oil. In Japan, the substantial negative influence is anticipated to spread over to management of the farmers particularly in Hokkaido, the northern part of Japan. As one of the measures against this influence, a plan of effective fertilizer application and also... E. Tamura, K. Aijima, K. Niwa, O. Nagata, K. Wakabayashi, C. Hongo |
3. A Novel Portable System For Improving Accuracy Of Reimbursement For Fruit PickingVarious methods for reimbursing pickers have been employed worldwide, with most fruit growers now paying a piece-rate to small picking teams for bins (e.g. for pome fruit) or for buckets (e.g. for sweet cherries, blueberries). Regardless, paying piece-rate is beset with inaccuracies that cause significant financial losses. Our tests in commercial sweet cherry and apple orchards revealed variability of 25 – 30% of final weight among bins and buckets. For example, in sweet... Y.G. Ampatzidis, M.D. Whiting |
4. Wheat Biomass Estimation Using Visible Aerial Images and Artificial Neural NetworkIn this study, visible RGB-based vegetation indices (VIs) from UAV high spatial resolution (1.9 cm) remote sensing images were used for modeling shoot biomass of two Brazilian wheat varieties (TBIO Toruk and BRS Parrudo). The approach consists of a combination of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with several Vegetation Indices to model the measured crop biomass at different growth stages. Several vegetation indices were implemented: NGRDI (Normalized Green-Red Difference Index), CIVE (Color Index... M.R. De souza, T.D. Bertani, A. Parraga, C. Bredemeier, C. Trentin, D. Doering, A. Susin, M. Negreiros |
5. Algorithm to Estimate Sorghum Grain Number from Panicles Using Images Collected with a Smartphone at Field-scaleAn estimation of on-farm yield before harvest is important to assist farmers on deciding additional input use, time to harvest, and options for end uses of the harvestable product. However, obtaining a rapid assessment of on-farm yield can be challenging, even more for sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) crop due to the complexity for accounting for the grain number at field-scale. One alternative to reduce labor is to develop a rapid assessment method employing computer vision and artificial intelligence... G.N. Nocera santiago, P. Cisdeli magalhães, I. Ciampitti, L. Marziotte |
6. X-ray Imaging in Breeding and Harvesting ProcessesThe application of X-ray technology has a long tradition in different medical and technical fields. Compared to other sensor systems, its advantages lie in the capability to reveal structures within objects non-destructively. The analysis of X-ray images with image processing methods is applied for quality control, the detection of foreign objects or damages and other anomalies (e.g. in organs or bones). Until recently, the application of X-ray was mainly constrained to stationary applications... M. Weule, E. Hufnagel, J. Claussen, A. Berghaus, S. Burkhart, P. Noack, S. Gerth |
7. Cherry Yield Forecast: Harvest Prediction for Individual Sweet Cherry TreesDigitalization continues to transform the agricultural sector as a whole and also affects specific niches like horticulture. Particularly in fruit and wine production, the focus is on the application of sensor systems and data analysis aiming at automated detection of drought stress or pests in vineyards or orchards. As part of the “For5G” project, we are developing an end-to-end methodology for the creation of digital twins of fruit trees, with a strong focus... A. Gilson, L. Meyer, A. Killer, F. Keil, O. Scholz, D. Kittemann, P. Noack, P. Pietrzyk, C. Paglia |
8. A Digital Interactive Decision Dashboard to Analyze, Store and Share Year-to-year Crop Genotype YieldThe lag time between data collection and sharing is a critical bottleneck in order to make impactful decision at farmer field-scale. Following this line, there is a need for developing a digital interactive decision dashboard for sharing results of crop trials, in parallel to establish a database for storing data. These crop trials, invaluable for farmers seeking to determine the optimal genotype for their crops, are at risk of becoming obsolete due to the current format and the lack of more near... P.

9. From Scientific Literature to the End User: Democratizing Access to Data Products Through Interactive ApplicationsIn recent years, the sustained advance in the creation of powerful programming libraries is allowing not only the creation of complex models with predictive capabilities but also revolutionizing visualization processes and the deployment of interactive applications. Some of these tools, such as Streamlit or Shiny frameworks in languages such as Python or R, allow us to create from simple applications with friendly interfaces to complex tools. These interactive digital decision dashboards allow... C. Hernandez, A. Correndo, J. Lacasa, P. Magalhaes cisdeli, G.N. Nocera santiago, I. Ciampitti |
