1. Wheat Growth Stages Discrimination Using Generalized Fourier Descriptors In Pattern Recognition Context... F. Cointault, A. Marin, L. Journaux, J. Miteran, R. Martin |
2. Soil Resource Appraisal towards Land use Planning Using Satellite Remote Sensing and GIS – A Case Study in Medak Nala Watershed in Northern Karnataka, IndiaIn precision farming, knowledge of spatial variability in soil properties is important. The soil map shows soil series and phases like stoniness, gravelliness, salinity, sodicity,... V.C. Patil, H.H. Gowda, K.A. Reddy, U.K. Shanwad |
3. 'Spatial Discontinuity Analysis' a Novel Geostatistical Algorithm for On-farm ExperimentationTraditional agronomic experimentation is restricted to small plots. Under appropriate experimental designs the effects of uncontrolled environmental variables are minimized and the measured responses (e.g. in yields) are compared to controllable inputs (seed, tillage, fertilizer, pesticides) using well-trusted design-based statistical methods. However, the implementation of such experiments can be complex and the application, management, and harvesting of treated areas might have to... S. Rudolph, B.P. Marchant, V. Gillingham, D. Kindred, R. Sylvester-bradley |
4. Precision Nutrient Management System Based on Ion and Crop Growth SensingAutomated sensing and variable-rate supply of nutrients in hydroponic solutions according to the status of crop growth would allow more efficient nutrient management for crop growth in closed systems. The Structure from Motion (SfM) method has risen as a new image sensing method to obtain 3D images of plants that can be used to estimate their growth, such as leaf cover area (LCA), plant height, and fresh weight. In this sense, sensor fusion technology combining ion-selective electrodes (ISEs)... W. Cho, D. Kim, C. Kang, H. Kim, J. Son, S. Chung, J. Jiang, H. Yun |
5. Agronōmics: Eliciting Food Security from Big Data, Big Ideas and Small FarmsMost farmers globally could make their farms more productive; few are limited by ambient availabilities of light energy and water. Similarly the sustainability of farming practices offers large scope for innovation and improvement. However, conventional ‘top-down’ Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKISs) are commonly failing to maintain significant progress in either productivity or sustainability because multifarious and complex agronomic interactions thwart accurate...

6. Supporting and Analysing On-Farm Nitrogen Tramline Trials So Farmers, Industry, Agronomists and Scientists Can LearN TogetherNitrogen fertilizer decisions are considered important for the agronomic, economic and environmental performance of cereal crop production. Despite good recommendation systems large unpredicted variation exists in measured N requirements. There may be fields and farms that are consistently receiving too much or too little N fertilizer, therefore losing substantial profit from wasted fertilizer or lost yield. Precision farming technologies can enable farmers (& researchers) to test appropriate... D. Kindred, R. Sylvester-bradley, S. Clarke, S. Roques, D. Hatley, B. Marchant |
