1. Estimating Soil Productivity And Energy Efficiency Using Websoil Survey, Soil Productivity Index Calculator, And Biofuel Energy Systems SimulatorSoils have varying production capacities for a specific plant or sequence of plants under defined management strategies. The production capacity or “productivity” can be quantified as a mathematical function of a soils ability to sufficiently sustain plant growth... K.D. Reitsma, T.E. Schumacher |
2. Development Of An Index-Based Insurance Product: Validation Of A Forage Production Index Derived From Medium Spatial Resolution fCover Time SeriesAn index-based insurance solution is developed by Pacifica Crédit Agricole Assurances and Astrium GEO-Information to estimate and monitor the near real-time forage production in France. In this system, payouts are indexed on an indicator, called Forage Production Index (FPI), calculated using a biophysical characterization of the grassland from medium spatial resolution remote sensing time series. We used the Fraction of green Vegetation Cover (fCover) integral as... A. Jacquin, G. Sigel, O. Hagolle, B. Lepoivre, A. Roumiguié, H. Poilvé |
3. Wireless Sensor System for Variable Rate IrrigationVariable rate irrigation (VRI) systems use intelligent electronic devices to control individual sprinklers or groups of sprinklers to deliver the desired amount irrigation water at each specific location within a field according to VRI prescriptions. Currently VRI systems, including software tools for generate prescription maps, are commercially available for VRI practices. However, algorithms and models are required to determine the desired amount of water that needs to be applied based on the... R. Sui, J. Baggard |
4. Use of Remotely Measured Potato Canopy Characteristics As Indirect Yield EstimatorsPrediction of potato yield before harvest is important for making agronomic and marketing decisions. Active optical sensors (AOS) are rarely used together with other hand-held instruments for monitoring potato growth, including yield prediction. The aim of the research was to determine the relationship between manually and remotely measured potato crop characteristics throughout the growing season and yield in commercial potato fields. Objective was also to identify crop characteristics that most... S.M. Samborski, J. Szatylowicz, T. Gnatowski, R. Leszczyńska, M. Thornton, O. Walsh |
5. Combining Remote Sensing and Machine Learning to Estimate Peanut Photosynthetic ParametersThe environmental conditions in which plants are situated lead to changes in their photosynthetic rate. This alteration can be visualized by pigments (Chlorophyll and Carotenoids), causing changes in plant reflectance. The goal of this study was to evaluate the performance of different Machine Learning (ML) algorithms in estimating fluorescence and foliar pigments in irrigated and rainfed peanut production fields. The experiment was conducted in the southeast of Georgia in the United States in... C. Rossi, S.L. Almeida, M.N. Sysskind, L.A. Moreno, A. Felipe dos santos, L. Lacerda, G. Vellidis, C. Pilcon, T.
