1. Simulation of Curiosity and Exo Mars Rovers on Agriculture TerrainImproving agricultural productivity is one of the biggest challenges Agriculture and Engineering face. A possible solution is the creation of soil databases and/or maps to apply precision agriculture techniques, aiming to produce more in the same land, using less agricultural supplies. This practice may be developed with the help of rovers applied to e.g. agricultural data collect, mapping, scouting and supply tasks. However, the rover needs to move and adapt to the terrain to obtain a real appropriate... J.F. Archila-diaz, M. Becker |
2. Evaluation of HLB-Infected Citrus Rootstocks Using Ground Penetrating RadarCitrus production in Florida continues to decline steadily, since the arrival of Huanglongbing (HLB or citrus greening). HLB does not kill the tree, but HLB-infected trees become less productive. Since now, there is no cure for this disease. However, several strategies have been developed to manage and control HLB-infected citrus trees. We have developed and evaluated a heat thermotherapy system (short-term solution) for sustaining productivity of HLB-affected trees. This system heats the canopy... Y. Ampatzidis, M. Derival, S.

3. Spatial Variability of Optimized Herbicide Mixtures and DosagesDriven by 25 years of Danish, political 'pesticide action plans', aiming at reducing the use of pesticides, a Danish Decision Support System (DSS) for Integrated Weed Management (IWM) has been constructed. This online tool, called ‘IPMwise’ is now in its 4th generation. It integrates the 8 general IPM-principles as defined by the EU. In Denmark, this DSS includes 30 crops, 105 weeds and full assortments of herbicides. Due to generic qualities in both the integrated... P. Rydahl, R.N. Jorgensen, M. Dyrmann, N.

4. Economic Potential of RoboWeedMaps - Use of Deep Learning for Production of Weed Maps and Herbicide Application MapsIn Denmark, a new IPM ‘product chain’ has been constructed, which starts with systematic photographing of fields and ends up with field- or site-specific herbicide application. A special high-speed camera, mounted on an ATV took sufficiently good pictures of small weed plants, while driving up to 50 km/h. Pictures were uploaded to the RoboWeedMaps online platform, where appointed internal- and external persons with agro-botanical experience executed ‘virtual field inspection’... P. Rydahl, O.

5. In-season Nitrogen Prediction Evaluation Using Airborne Imagery with AI Techniques in Commercial Potato ProductionIn modern agriculture, timely and precise nitrogen (N) monitoring is essential to optimize resource management and improve trade benefits. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a staple food in many regions of the world, and improving its production is inevitable to ensure food security and promote related industries. Traditional methods of assessing nitrogen are labour-intensive, time-consuming, and require subjective observations. To address these limitations, a combination of multispectral... B. Javed, A.

6. Optimizing the Connectivity of Wireless Underground Sensor NetworksIn the rapidly evolving field of wireless communication, extending this technology into subterranean realms presents a frontier replete with unique challenges and opportunities. This study explores the intricate dynamics of establishing reliable connectivity in underground environments, a critical component for applications in diverse fields including precision agriculture and environmental monitoring. The distinct characteristics of underground settings impose significant obstacles for wireless... M. Han, N. Zhang, P. Armstrong |
