1. Application of Information Technologies in Precision ApicultureApiculture, widely known as beekeeping, is one of the agriculture’s sub directions, where Precision Agriculture (PA) methods can be successfully applied. Adaptation of PA methods and technics into Apiculture, as well as integrating information technologies into beekeeping process can change and improve the beekeepers understanding of bee... E.

2. A Novel Hyperspectral Feature Extraction Algorithm Based On Waveform Resolving For Raisin ClassificationNear infrared hyperspectral imaging technology was adopted in the paper to determine the variety of raisins produced in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. There are 2 varieties of raisins taking part in the research and the wavelengths of the hyperspectral images are from 900nm to 1700nm. A novel waveform resolving method was proposed in the paper to reduce the hyperspectral data and extract features. The waveform resolving method compresses the original hyperspectral data for one pixel... Y. Zhao, X. Xu, Y. Shao, Y. He, Q. Li |
3. Static and Kinematic Tests for Determining Spreaders Effective WidthSpinner box spreaders are intensively used in Brazil for variable rate applications of lime in agriculture. The control of that operation is a challenging issue because of the complexity involved on the interactions between product and machine. Quantification of transverse distribution of solids thrown from the spinner box spreaders involves dynamic conditions tests where the material deposited on trays is evaluated along the pass of the machinery. There is a need of alternative testing methods... L. Maldaner, T. Canata, J. Molin, B. Passalaqua, J.J. Quirós |
4. Field Grown Apple Nursery Tree Plant Counting Based on Small UAS Imagery Derived Elevation MapsIn recent years, growers in the state are transitioning to new high yielding, pest and disease resistant cultivars. Such transition has created high demand for new tree fruit cultivars. Nursery growers have committed their incoming production of the next few years to meet such high demands. Though an opportunity, tree fruit nursery growers must grow and keep the pre-sold quantity of plants to supply the amount promised to the customers. Moreover, to keep the production economical amidst rising... M. Martello, J.J. Quirós, L. Khot |
5. Precision Agriculture: A Paradigm Shift for Espousal of Advanced Farming Practices Among Progressive Farmers in Punjab –PakistanPrecision agriculture provides innovative farm information tools for improved decision making regarding crop growth and yield. Creating awareness for future applications of precision agriculture among progressive farmers in Pakistan was an instrumental force to conduct this study. The purpose was to appraise the awareness level of the respondents for applications of precision agriculture in the field. The objectives such as assessing the awareness level, available information sources, future needs,... E. Ashraf, H.K. Shurjeel, R. Rasheed |
