1. Long Term Effects of Irrigation with Sewage Effluent on Some Soil PropertiesIn the arid and semiarid regions, the use of treated sewage water increases as an alternative for non-renewable resources in irrigation. The objective of this research is to identify the effect of irrigation with sewage effluent and well water for long... M.I. Alwabel, S.A. Alsheri, A.M. Alomran |
2. A Step Towards Precision Irrigation: Plant Water Status Detection With Infrared ThermographyThe increasing demand for water all over the world calls for precision agriculture which accounts globally about 70 percent of all water withdrawal. Therefore, there is a need to optimizing water use efficiency and making the best use of available water for irrigation. Plant water status detection for advanced irrigation scheduling is frequently done by predawn leaf water potential (ΨPD) or leaf stomata conductance (gL) measurements. However, these measurements are time and labour consuming.... S. Zia |
3. Development of a Sensing Device for Detecting Defoliation in SoybeanEstimating defoliation by insects in an agricultural field, specifically soybean, is performed by manually removing multiple leaf samples, visually inspecting the leaves for feeding, and assigning a value representing a “best guess” at the level of leaf material missing. These estimates can require considerable time and are subjective. The goal of this study was to design a low-cost system containing light sensors and a microcontroller that could remotely record and report long-term... P. Astillo, J. Maja, J. Greene |
