1. Evaluation of Vertical C/N Distribution in Maize Canopy Using Ensemble Learning with Hyperspectral DataMetabolic status of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) as two essential elements in crop plants has essential influence on the ultimate formation of yield and quality in crop production. Ratio of carbon to nitrogen (C/N), defined as the ratio of LCC (leaf carbon concentration) to LNC (leaf nitrogen concentration), is useful for understanding and quantifying carbon and nitrogen metabolism in crops, and is one metrics for effectively evaluating the balance of carbon and nitrogen, nutrient status and growth...

2. Growth-Stage and Hourly Modeling of Non-Stressed Soybean Canopy Temperature Using High-Frequency Proximal Thermal SensingCanopy temperature (Tc) sensing provides a proximal, non-destructive approach for monitoring crop water status. It supports irrigation scheduling through thermal indices such as the Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI) and Degrees Above Non-Stressed (DANS), both of which require accurate estimation of non-stressed canopy temperature (Tcns) (Nakabuye et al., 2022). Maintaining a continuously non-stressed reference treatment to determine Tcns is operationally difficult, motivating development of weather-based... |
3. Determinants of the Intensity of Digital Precision Technology Adoption in Brazilian FeedlotsPrecision livestock farming has gained prominence as a tool to enhance managerial control and reduce risk in intensive production systems. In the case of Brazilian beef cattle feedlots, characterized by high price volatility, tight margins, and increasing pressure for environmental performance, the adoption of digital technologies represents a relevant strategy to improve decision-making processes. Unlike studies that focus solely on binary adoption (adopt/non-adopt), understanding adoption intensity... G. , M.J. Carrer, M. , L.C. David, H.M. Souza Filho, E. Bonjour |
4. Digital Transformation and Efficiency Gains in Intensive Livestock Systems: Evidence from Brazilian FeedlotsPrecision livestock farming has emerged as central strategies to enhance productive efficiency, reduce waste, and improve the sustainability of agricultural systems. In beef cattle feedlots, digital technologies such feeding automation sensors is particularly relevant. The technology reduces feed waste, improves the planning of input purchases and cost control, and reduces the need for manual labor for weighing and distributing feed, allowing the team to focus on strategic activities. In the Brazilian... L.C. David, M.J. Carrer, M. , H.M. Souza Filho |
