1. Estimation of Rice Yield from MODIS Data in West Java, IndonesiaChiharu Hongo1*, Takaaki Furukawa1, Gunardi Sigit2, Masayasu Maki3, Koki Honma3,... C. Hongo, T. Furukawa, G. Sigit, M. Maki, K. Honma, K. Yoshida, K. Oki, H. Shirakawa |
2. Timely, Objective, And Accurate Crop Area Estimations And Mapping Using Remote Sensing And Statistical Methods For The Province Of Prince Edward Island, CanadaThe provincial government of Prince Edward Island, Canada, required timely, objective, and accurate annual crop area statistics and mapping for 2006 to 2008. Consequently, Statistics Canada conducted a survey incorporating medium- resolution satellite imagery (10 to 30 m) and statistical survey methods. The objective was to produce crop area estimates with a coefficient of variation (CV) as a measure of accuracy, and to produce maps showing the distribution and location of different crops and... F.

3. Pasture Yield Measurement With The C-DAX Pasture MeterA system of pasture yield measurement was developed for New Zealand’s pasture based, rotationally grazed farming systems. Pasture yield measurement is complex because the pasture biomass has to be measured in-situ, pre and post grazing so that pasture consumption and utilisation can be calculated. The “Pasture Meter” was initially developed by Massey University and subsequently commercialised by... I.J. Yule |
4. Monitoring Dairy Cow Activity With GPS-tracking And Supporting TechnologiesNutrient loss from dairy farms is an issue of serious concern to most dairy farmers around the world. On grazed systems such as those practiced in New Zealand animal excreta has been identified as a major source of nutrient loss, which for nitrogen (N) relates to cattle urine in particular. A study was commissioned to examine nutrient transfer around dairy farms associated with the cows with a view to developing improved precision nutrient application... I. Draganova, I.J. Yule, K. Betteridge, M.J. Hedley, K.J. Stafford |
5. Spatial Livestock Research In Australia And New Zealand: Towards A Cooperative Research ModelA number of researchers in Australia and New Zealand are working in the area of animal tracking as an important technological step to gaining a deeper understanding of animal behavior in various farmed and natural environments. The ultimate goals of the research vary from simply trying to understand how animals can be farmed more effectively to how animals could be controlled without fences. There are a number of parallels with the development of conventional... I.J. Yule |
