1. Measurement of Systematic Errors in Crop PredictionPrecision agriculture typically attempts to answer grower questions using an increasingly more fine-grained analysis. However, some entities, such as cooperatives, can have an interest in answers that are spatially course-grained, such as obtaining an estimate of the overall crop production within a season. Errors in factors that most influence fine-grained predictions, such as soil quality, may have a smaller impact on overall yield forecasts since their effect is likely to average... A.M. Denton, E.W.

2. The Spatial And Temporal Variability Analysis Of Wheat Yield in suburban of BeijingAbstract: The yield map is the basis of the fertilization maps and plant maps. In order to diagnose the cause of variation accurately, not only the spatial variation of annual yield data, but also the successive annual yield data of temporal variability should be understood.The introduction of yield monitor system, global positioning system (GPS), and geographic information system have provided new methods to obtain wheat yield in precision agriculture....

3. Weed Identification From Seedling Cabbages Using Visible And Near-Infrared Spectrum AnalysisTarget identification is one of the main research content and also a key point in precision crop protection. The main purpose of the study is to choose the characteristic wavelengths (CW for short) to classify the cabbages and the weeds at their seedling stage using different data analysis methods. Using a handheld full-spectrum FieldSpec-FR, the canopies of the seedling plants, cabbage ‘8398, cabbage ‘zhonggan’, Barnyard grass, green foxtail, goosegrass,... W. Deng, X. Wang, C. Zhao, Y.

4. Use Of Quality And Quantity Information Towards Evaluating The Importance Of Independent Variables In Yield PredictionYield predictions based on remotely sensed data are not always accurate. Adding meteorological and other data can help, but may also result in over-fitting. Working with American Crystal Sugar, we were able to demonstrate that the relevance of independent variables can be tested much more reliably when not only yield but also quality attributes are known, such as the sugar content and the sugar...

5. A Harvesting Robot System for Fresh Cherry Tomato in GreenhouseIn order to improve the , a new harvesting robot system for cherry tomato was designed and tested, which mainly consisted of a railed-type vehicle, a visual servo unit, a manipulator, a picking end-effector, and other accessories. According to the greenhouse environment and the standard planting mode, the robot configuration was determined, whose operating space could be adjusted horizontally and vertically in order to enlarge the harvesting range. Besides, a harvested fruits automatic transport... F. Qingchun, W. Xiu, W. Xiaonan, W. Guohua |
6. Window-based Regression Analysis of Field DataHigh-resolution satellite and areal imagery enables multi-scale analysis that has previously been impossible. We consider the task of localized linear regression and show that window-based techniques can return results at different length scales with very high efficiency. The ability of inspecting multiple length scales is important for distinguishing factors that vary over different length scales. For example, variations in fertilization are expected to occur on shorter length... A.M. Denton, H. Chavan, D.W. Franzen, J.F. Nowatzki |
7. Shifting Fertiliser Response Zones in a Four Year, Whole-paddock Cereal Cropping Experiment.Precision agriculture in cropping areas of dryland Australia has focused on managing within production zones. These are ideally stable, possibly soil- and topography-based areas within fields. There are many different ideas on how to delimit and implement zones, and a four year whole-field experiment, with low, medium and high treatment philosophies applied per 9m seeder/harvester width across the entire field, was established to explore how zones might best be established and used. The treatment... B. Jones, T. Mcbeath, N. Wilhelm |
8. Scaling Up Window-based Regression for Crop-row DetectionCrop-row detection is a central element of weed detection and agricultural image processing tasks. With the increased availability of high-resolution imagery, a precise locating of crop rows is becoming practical in the sense that the necessary data are commonly available. However, conventional image processing techniques often fail to scale up to the data volumes and processing time expectations. We present an approach that computes regression lines over... A.M.

9. Design of an Automatic Travelling Electric Fence System for Sustainable Grazing ManagementFences are used in Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) to prevent herbivores from overgrazing and under grazing forages. While effective in controlling animal entry and exit, traditional fences are not flexible enough to meet the needs of both foraging animals and plants in terms of both nutrient availability and physiological demands. An electric fencing system is a form of traditional fencing that employs an electric charge to create a barrier and dissuade animals or people from crossing it. Even... M. Alahe, Y. Chang, J.O.

10. Quantifying Constant Rate and Sensor-based Variable Rate Nitrogen (N) Fertilizer Response on Crop Vigor and YieldAgricultural fertilizer application is one of the essential components of crop production. It enhances crop growth, yield, and quality of the crop. The most widely used methods for nutrient application are the constant rate and variable rate application. An improper supply of fertilizer can potentially hamper crop growth and reduce the quality of the crop. Therefore, there is a need to select the best optimum nutrient application method for proper utilization of the nutrients. Therefore, the study... R. Singh, A. Sharda |
