1. An Inter-connection Model Between Standard Zigbee And Isobus Network (ISO11783)The typical five-step cyclical process of precision agriculture includes soil and environment data collection, diagnosis, data analysis, precision field correction operation and evaluations. Usually, some steps are executed in field, others in the farm office and others in both. This can result in a complex system and consequently in waste of time and high cost in equipment, tools and workmanship. To simplify this process, the challenge is running... M.F. Barros, C.E.

2. Assessing Definition Of Management Zones Trough Yield MapsYield mapping is one of the core tools of precision agriculture, showing the result of combined growing factors. In a series of yield maps collected along seasons it is possible to observe not only the spatial distribution of the productivity but also its spatial consistency among different seasons. This work proposes the study of distinct methods to analyze yield stability in grain crops regarding its potential for defining management zones from a historical sequence of yield maps. Two methods... M.T. Eitelwein, J.P. Molin, M. Spekken, R.G. Trevisan |
3. Effect Of A Variable Rate Irrigation Strategy On The Variability Of Crop Production In Wine Grapes In CaliforniaPruning and irrigation are the cultural practices with the highest potential impact on yield and quality in wine grapes. In particular, irrigation start date, rates and frequency can be synchronized with crop development stages to control canopy growth and, in turn, positively influence light microclimate, berry size and fruit quality. In addition, canopy management practices can be implemented in vineyards with large canopies to ensure fruit zone microclimate... L.A. Sanchez, L.J. Klein, A. Claassen, D. Lew, M. Mendez-costabel, B.

4. Soil Microbial Biomass and Bacterial Diversity Enhanced Through Winter Cover Cropping in Paddy FieldsRice production is typically based on input-intensive and often environmentally unsustainable monoculture system. Alternatives are increasing, such as fallow cover cropping and rice–fish coculture (RFC). However, options of fallow cover cropping in RFC are scarcely explored, and the soil microbial response strategies to cover cropping remain unclear. Here, we evaluated soil-plant-microbe interactions under three cover cropping systems: Chinese milk vetch single cropping (CM), rapeseed single... S. Cai, S. Xu, D. Zhang, H. Zhu, L. Longchamps |
