1. OptiThin - Precision Fruiticulture by Tree-Specific Mechanical ThinningApple cultivars show biennial fluctuations in yields (alternate bearing). The phenomenon is induced by reduced yields in one year due to freeze damage, low pollination rate or other reasons. Consequently, trees develop many flower buds that blossom in the following year. The many flowers lead to a high number of small fruits that won’t be accepted on the market. Endogenous factors (phytohormones and carbohydrate allocation) subsequently establish the biennial cycle. The alternate bearing... A. Betz, H. Benny, M. Jens, M. Özyurtlu, M. Pflanz, T. Rachow-autrum, A. Schischmanow, M. Scheele, J. Schrenk, L. Schrenk, M. Zude, R. Gebbers |
2. A Study On Diagnostic System Based On ISOAgLIB For Agricultural VehiclesNowadays the growth of the embedded electronics and communications has demanded the development of applications in agricultural machinery in Korean agroindustry. The root reason is that most of agricultural machineries produced in Korea does not apply international standard. Therefore, the incompatibility problem between hardware, software and data formats has become a major obstacle for exporting agricultural products made by Korea to the world. In... J. Moon, S.

3. Studies on Soil Spatial Variability and Its Impact on Cane Yield Under Precision Nutrient Management SystemIn present investigation an attempt was made to quantify the soil variability of 30 grids of 10 m x 10 m dimension at research farm of Nandi Sahakari Sakkare Karkhane (NSSK), Krishna Nagar, District. Bijapur. Each grid (10 m x 10 m) showed variation with available nitrogen as low as 140 kg ha-1 to as high as 245 kg/ha with a range of 105 kg/ha, phosphorus as low as 53 kg P2O5 ha-1 and as high as 89.3 kg P2O5 ha-1 with...

4. Development of an Airborne Remote Sensing System for Aerial ApplicatorsAn airborne remote sensing system was developed and tested for recording aerial images of field crops, which were analyzed for variations of crop health or pest infestation. The multicomponent system consists of a multi-spectral camera system, a camera control system, and a radiometer for normalizing images. To overcome the difficulties currently associated with correlating imagery data with what is actually occurring on the ground (a process known as ground truthing); a hyperspectral reflectance... Y.

5. Modelling 'Concord' Berry Weight DynamicsThe growth and development of Concord (Vitis labruscana Bailey) depends on internal and external factors. As a result, both vegetative and reproductive cycles of Concord vary based on growing season and vine status. Fresh berry weight also fluctuates depending on the growing season and location of the vineyard. Knowledge of berry weight dynamics across growing season is essential to accurately predict final yield at harvest based on early season crop estimates. The main objective of this study... G.

6. Spray Deposition and Efficacy of Pesticide Applications with Spray Drones in Row Crops in the Southeastern USThe use of spray drones for pesticide applications is expanding rapidly in agriculture, with one of the top uses currently being in the row crop production. Several research studies were undertaken in 2022 and 2023 to measure and assess spray deposition and efficacy of pesticides applied with spray drones in the major row crops (corn, cotton and peanuts) grown in the southeastern US. These studies also evaluated and compared the deposition and pesticide efficacy of spray drones with traditional... C. Byers, R. Meena, J. Kichler, R.C. Kemerait, L. Hand, S. Virk |
