1. Adoption and Tendencies of Precision Agriculture Technologies in the Tocantins State, BrazilAlthough precision agriculture is widely used throughout Brazilian crop production, it has not been used to increase the efficiency use of agricultural inputs. Besides, technologies available have not been... L. Bortolon, E. Borghi, A. Luchiari junior, E.S. Bortolon, A.A. Freitas, R.Y. Inamasu, J.C. Avanzi |
2. Performance Evaluation Of Off-shelf Range Sensors For In-field Crop Height MeasurementAbstract: In-season plant height is a good predictor of yield potential, which needs to be measured with techniques of high spatial resolution and accuracy. In this study, systematic performance evaluations were conducted on three types of commercial range sensors, an ultrasonic sensor, a laser range finder and a range camera on plant height measurement, under laboratory and field conditions. Results showed that the average errors between the measured heights... N. Wang, Y. Shi, R.K. Taylor |
3. Proper Implementation Of Precision Agricultural Technologies For Conducting On-farm ResearchPrecision agricultural technologies provide farmers, practitioners and researchers the ability to conduct on-farm or field-scale research to refine farm management, improve long term crop production decisions, and implement site-specific management strategies. However, the limitations of these technologies must be understood to draw accurate and meaningful conclusions from such investigations. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to outline the limitations of several... J.P. Fulton, M.J. Darr, R.K. Taylor, T.P. Mcdonald |
4. Adoption Level Of Precision Agriculture For Brazilian Farmers - 2011/12 Crop YearAlthough Precision Agriculture (PA) concepts and technologies are widespread in Brazil, its application still little used in some important crop production regions. The purpose of this study was to survey the current adoption level of PA by printed and online questionnaire. We started making a specific questionnaire to farmers and PA service companies using some technology related to PA. The questionnaires were developed based on the methodology of Whipker and Akridge (2009),... E. Borghi, A. Luchiari junior, L. Bortolon, E.S. Bortolon, R.Y. Inamasu, A.C. Bernardi, J.C. Avanzi |
5. Open Data for Food Quality and Food Security Control: a Case Study of the Czech RepublicFood quality and food security is of a high public interest in the European Union. In the Czech Republic, food quality and food security is under control of three different public authorities: the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (CTIA) that is affiliated with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) that is affiliated with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic and the regional network of hygienic stations...

6. Controller Performance Criteria for Sensor Based Variable Rate ApplicationSensor based variable rate application of crop inputs provides unique challenges for traditional rate controllers when compared to map based applications. The controller set point is typically changing every second whereas with a map based systems the set point changes much less frequently. As applied data files for a sensor based variable rate nitrogen applicator were obtained from a wheat field in north central Oklahoma. These data were analyzed to determine the magnitude and frequency of rate... R.K. Taylor, P. Bennur, J.B. Solie, N. Wang, P. Weckler, W.R. Raun |
7. Deep Learning-based Detection and Quantity of Livestock CarcassesIn recent years, livestock farming in Taiwan has gradually expanded. However, due to geographical constraints and regulatory restrictions, local farms are not permitted to bury or burn culled livestock carcasses on their own. As a result, farms must commission rendering trucks to collect and transport the carcasses to centralized rendering plants for processing. At the rendering plants, the manager are required to recount the number of carcasses. However, the large quantity and irregular arrangement... C. Chuang |
