1. Proximal Sensing Tools to Estimate Pasture Quality Parameters.To date systems for estimating pasture quality have relied on destructive sampling with measurement completed in a laboratory which was very time consuming and expensive. Results were often not received until after the pasture was grazed which defeated the point of the measurement, as farmers required the information to make decisions about grazing strategies to effectively...

2. World Patent Map Analysis Of Mechanization Technologies Relatitng To Rice ProductionPatents comprise a unique source for technological knowledge. They are considered to be a good proxy for invention skills, R&D activities and for the scope of technological innovation of countries, regions, sectors and firms. Rice is one of the main field crops. The research focuses on patent mechanization technologies of soil working, planting and harvesting of rice production. Based on DWPI patent database and TI patent analysis software. The temporal examination by publication year... X. Wang, Y. Hu, Z. Yi |
3. 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 |
4. High Resolution Vegetation Mapping with a Novel Compact Hyperspectral Camera SystemThe COSI-system is a novel compact hyperspectral imaging solution designed for small remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS). It is designed to supply accurate action and information maps related to the crop status and health for precision agricultural applications. The COSI-Cam makes use of a thin film hyperspectral filter technology which is deposited onto an image sensor chip resulting in a compact and lightweight instrument design. This paper reports on the agricultural monitoring... B. Delauré, P. Baeck, J. Blommaert, S. Delalieux, S. Livens, A. Sima, M. Boonen, J. Goffart, G. Jacquemin, D. Nuyttens |
5. soil2data: Concept for a Mobile Field Laboratory for Nutrient AnalysisKnowledge of the small-scale nutrient status of arable land is an important basis for optimizing fertilizer use in crop production. A mobile field laboratory opens up the possibility of carrying out soil sampling and nutrient analysis directly on the field. In addition to the benefits of fast data availability and the avoidance of soil material transport to the laboratory, it provides a future foundation for advanced application options, e.g. a high sampling density, sampling of small sub-fields...

6. Soybean Variable Rate Planting Simulator Using Economic ScenariosSoybean seed costs have increased considerably over the past 15 years, causing a growing interest in variable rate planting (VRP) to optimize seeding rates within soybean fields. We developed a publicly available online Soybean Variable Rate Planting Simulator (http://analytics.iasoybeans.com/cool-apps/SoybeanVRPsimulator/) tool to help farmers, agronomists, and other agriculturalists to understand the essential prerequisite agronomic or economic conditions necessary for profitable VRP implementation....

7. An IoT-based Smart Real Time Sensing and Control of Heavy Metals to Ensure Optimal Growth of Plants in an Aquaponic Set-upThe concentration of heavy metals that needs to be maintained in aquaponic environments for habitable growth of plants has been a cause of concern for many decades now as it is not possible to eliminate them completely in a commercial set-up. Our goal is to design a cost-effective real-time smart sensing and actuation system in order to control the concentration of heavy metals in aquaponic solutions. Our solution consists of sensing the nutrient concentrations in the aquaponic solution, namely... S. Dhal, J. Louis, N. O'sullivan, J. Gumero, M. Soetan, S. Kalafatis, J. Lusher, S. Mahanta |
