1. Early Detection of Oil Palm Fungal Disease Infestation Using A Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy TechniqueBasal stem rot (BSR) caused by Ganoderma boninense is known as the most destructive disease of oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia. Ganoderma could potentially reduce the market share of palm oil for Malaysia. Currently Malaysia produces about 50% of the world’s supply of palm oil. Early, accurate, and non-destructive diagnosis of Ganoderma fungal infection is critical for management of this disease. Early disease management of Ganoderma could also prevent great losses in production and... S. Liaghat, S. Mansor, H. Shafri, S. Meon, R. Ehsani, S. Azam, N. Noh |
2. Natural Resources Management through Frontier Technologies - A Case Study from IndiaThe social and economic development of the state is interlaced with our natural resources, and the manner in which they are managed and exploited. The unplanned development and overexploitation of resources are exerting various... H.H. Gowda, K.A. Reddy, M.B. Patil, R.N. L, U. Shanwad |
3. HLB Detection Using Hyperspectral RadiometryThe need for sustainable agriculture requires the adoption of low input, long-term and cost-effective strategies to overcome the adverse impact of disease and nutritional deficiencies on citrus groves. In this context, early detection of diseased trees has become an important topic in the citrus industry. Multiple factors make field assessment of disease conditions a challenging task: the non-specific nature of many symptoms, the possibility of having localized affections in only certain areas... J.

4. The Daily Erosion Project - High Resolution, Daily Estimates of Runoff, Detachment, Erosion, and Soil MoistureRunoff and sediment transport from agricultural uplands are substantial threats to water quality and sustained crop production. Farmers, conservationists, and policy makers must understand how landforms, soil types, farming practices, and rainfall affect soil erosion and runoff in order to improve management of soil and water resources. A system was designed and implemented a decade ago to inventory precipitation, runoff, and soil erosion across the state of Iowa, United States. That system utilized... B.K. Gelder, R. Cruse, D. James, D. Herzmann, C. Sandoval-green, T. Sklenar |
5. Remote and Proximal Sensing for Sustainable Water Use in Almond Orchards in Southeast Spain in a Digital Farming ContextThe increasing expansion of irrigated almond orchards in regions of southeast Spain, facing water scarcity, underscores the need for a more effective and precise monitoring of the crop water status to optimize irrigation scheduling and improve crop water use efficiency. Remote and proximal sensing, combining visible, multispectral and thermal capabilities at different scales allows to estimate water needs, detect and quantify crop water stress, or identify different productivity zones within an... |
6. Participatory Irrigation Extension Programs to Increasing Adoption of Best Irrigation StrategiesFarmers in Alabama, Tennessee, and other US southeastern states lack experience in irrigation water management and adoption of the state-of-the-art technologies and practices to increase irrigation water use efficiency. Several federal and state-funded projects are being implemented to demonstrate and train farmers and consultants on irrigation scheduling strategies and variable rate irritation. Half a dozen on-farm demonstration sites are selected every year to evaluate, demonstrate, and train... L. Nunes, E. Francisco, R. Prasad, B.V. Ortiz, E. Abban-baidoo , M. Worosz, M. Robinette , C. O'connor, A. Gamble |
7. Spectral Imaging Deep Learning Mapper for Precision AgricultureWith the growing variety of RGB cameras, spectral sensors, and platforms like field robots or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in precision agriculture, there is a demand for straightforward utilization of collected field data. In recent years, deep learning has gained significant attention and delivered impressive results in the realm of computer vision tasks, such as semantic segmentation. These models have also found extensive applications in research related to precision agriculture and spectral... L. Thomas, B. Jakimow, A. Janz, P. Hostert, A. Lajunen |
