1. Design and Implementation of Virtual Terminal Based On ISO11783 Standard for Agricultural TractorsThe modern agricultural machinery most common use of the embedded electronic and remote sensing technology demands adoption of the Precision Agriculture (PA). One of the common devices is the Virtual Terminal (VT) for tractor. The VT’s functions and terminology are described in the ISO11783 standard. This work presents the control system design and implementation of the VT and some Electronic Control Units (ECU) for agricultural vehicles based on the ISO 11783 standard. The VT developme... E.

2. Path Generation Method with Steering Rate ConstraintThe practical way to generate a reference path in path tracking is to follow an adjacent swath. However, if the adjacent swath contains sharp turnings, the reference path will eventually contain sharper turn than the tractor is able to follow. This occurs especially in the corner of a field plot when the field is driven around. In the headland, the objective is to minimize the time to reach the next swath. The commonly known method to generate the shortest path between two arbitrary... J. Backman, T. Oksanen, A. Visala |
3. Research on Straight-Line Path Tracking Control Methods in an Agricultural Vehicle Navigation SystemIn the precision agriculture (PA), an agricultural vehicle navigation system is essential and precision of the vehicle path tracking is of great importance in such a system. As straight line operation is the main way of agricultural vehicles on large fields, this paper focuses on the discussion of straight-line path tracking control methods and proposes an agricultural vehicle path tracking algorithm based on the optimal control theory. First, the paper deduces a relative kinematics model of ... T. Li, J. Hu, L. Gao, H. Hu, X. Bai, X. Liu |
4. Path Tracking Control of Tractors and Steerable Towed Implements Based On Kinematic and Dynamic Modelingrecise path tracking control of tractors became the enabling technology for automation of field work in recent years. More and more sophisticated control systems for tractors however revealed that exact positioning of the actual implement is equally or even more important. Especially sloped and curved terrain, strip till fields, buried drip irrigation tapes and high-value crop... G. Kormann, S. Mueller, R. Werner |

12. Determining the Marginal Value of Extra Precision in Precision Grazing Systems – an Ex Ante Analysis of Impacts on System Productivity, Sustainability and EconomicsThe development of precision livestock farming (PLF) technologies for application in grazing systems is rapidly evolving. PLF technologies that facilitate the spatial and temporal management of variability in landscapes, pastures and animals promise to improve the efficiency, profitability and sustainability of livestock farming. However, such technologies as a complete package do not yet exist in grazing systems and the question of impacts at the farm system level remains unresolved. Other p... K. Behrendt, T. Takahashi, M.S. Rutter |
13. Opportunity Cost of Precision ConservationCrop production and biodiversity conservation vie for limited agricultural land resources. While biodiversity conservation benefits society as a whole, it is farmers who bear the immediate economic consequences of shifting land from agricultural to conservation use. When parts of a field are put into conservation use, farmers give up the net revenue that they earned from crop production, accepting the “opportunity cost” of losing that revenue stream. But since crop yields ar... S. Lee, S.M. Swinton |
14. Modelling Hydrological Processes in a Wadi Basin in Egypt: Wadi Kharouba Case StudyWadi Flash Flood (WFF) is one of the most crucial problems facing the north‐western coastal region in Egypt. Water harvesting (WH) approaches may be an effective tool to reduce the WFF risk while storing the runoff water for agricultural activities. In this study, the Agarma sub-catchment of the Wadi Kharouba was taken as a reference investigation site to study terraced WA systems. The main problem in this area is that local farmers independently build terraces using traditional knowledge t... A.H. Rabia, E. Eldeeb, A. Coppola |
15. 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 s... S. Cai, S. Xu, D. Zhang, H. Zhu, L. Longchamps |
16. Spatial and Temporal Variability of Soil Biological and Chemical Parameters Following the Introduction of Cover Crops into a Conventional Corn-cotton Rotational SystemMethods to characterize soil microbial diversity and abundance are labor intensive and require destructive sampling that incurs a per unit cost. There are advantages to replacing current methods with remote sensing approaches; the most obvious of which is spatially explicit representation of microbes on agricultural landscapes. Such a method will ultimately address open questions related to (1) the spatial scale of variability in soil microbial activity, and (2) the behavior of microbes in co... J. Czarnecki, J.P.

17. Delineating Management Zones for Optimizing Soil Phosphorus Recommendations Under a No Till Field in Eastern CanadaCorn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) represent the most common crop rotation in Eastern Canada. These crops are cultivated using no-tillage (NT) practice to enhance agroecosystem sustainability. However, NT practice can cause several agri-environmental issues related to phosphorus (P) stratification, movement and runoff leading to P eutrophication in waters. Another major challenge is the expensive costs of extensive soil sampling and laboratory tests needed for a... J. Nze memiaghe, A. Cambouris, M. Duchemin, N. Ziadi, A. Karam |
18. Effects of Fallow Management Practices on Soil Water, Crop Yield and Water Use Efficiency in Winter Wheat Monoculture System: a Meta-analysisWinter wheat monoculture is a predominant cropping system for agricultural production in dry areas. However, fallow management effects on soil water conservation and crop yield and water use have been inconsistent among studies. We selected 137 studies and performed a meta-analysis to test the effects of tillage and mulching during the fallow period on precipitation storage efficiency (PSE), soil water storage at wheat planting (SWSp), crop yield, evapotranspiration (ET), and water use effici...
