1. Utilizing Space-based Technology for Cotton Irrigation SchedulingAccurate soil moisture content measurements are vital to precision irrigation management. Electromagnetic sensors such as capacitance and time domain reflectometry have been widely used for measuring soil moisture content for decades. However, to estimate average soil moisture content over a large area, a number of ground-based in-situ sensors would need to be installed, which would be expensive and labor intensive. Remote sensing using the microwave spectrum (such as GPS signals) has been used... A. Khalilian, X. Qiao, J.O. Payero, J.M. Maja, C.V. Privette, Y.J. Han |
2. A Multi-objective Optimisation Analysis of Virtual Fencing in Precision GrazingVirtual fencing is a precision livestock farming tool consisting of invisible boundaries created via Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and managed remotely and in real time by app-based technology. Grazing livestock are equipped with battery-powered collars capable of delivering audio or vibration cues and possibly electric shocks when approaching or crossing an invisible boundary. Virtual fencing makes precision grazing possible without the need for physical fences. This technology originated... E. Maritan, K. Behrendt, J. Lowenberg-deboer, S. Morgan, M.S. Rutter |
