1. Towards a Multi-Source Record Keeping System for Agricultural Product TraceabilityAgricultural production record keeping is the basis of traceability system. To resolve the problem including single method of information acquisition, weak ability of real-time monitoring and low credibility of history information in agricultural production process, the...

3. Use Of Vegetation Indices In Variable Rate Application Of Potato Haulm Killing HerbicidesVariable rate application (VRA) of pesticides based on measured spatial variation in crop biomass is possible with currently available crop reflection sensors (remote and proximity), GNSS technology and modern field sprayers. VRA has the potential to contribute to a more sustainable use of pesticide. Dose rates are optimized based on local requirements at a scale of about 5-50 m2, leading to less adverse side effects, less costs and higher yields. In the longer term, we... C. Kempenaar, T. Been, F.V. Evert |
4. Early Detection of Nitrogen Deficiency in Corn Using High Resolution Remote Sensing and Computer VisionThe continuously growing need for increasing the production of food and reducing the degradation of water supplies, has led to the development of several precision agriculture systems over the past decade so as to meet the needs of modern societies. The present study describes a methodology for the detection and characterization of Nitrogen (N) deficiencies in corn fields. Current methods of field surveillance are either completed manually or with the assistance of satellite imaging, which offer... D. Mulla, D. Zermas, D. Kaiser, M. Bazakos, N. Papanikolopoulos, P. Stanitsas, V. Morellas |
5. In-field Variability of Terrain and Soils in Southeast Kansas: Challenges for Effective ConservationA particular challenge for crop production in southeast Kansas is the shallow topsoil, underlain with a dense, unproductive clay layer. Concerns for topsoil loss have shifted production systems to reduced tillage or conservation management practices. However, historical erosion events and continued nutrient and sediment loss still limit the productive capacity of fields. To improve crop production and further adoption of conservation practices, identification of vulnerable areas of fields was... G.F. Sassenrath, T. Mueller, V.J. Alarcon, S.E. Kulesza, D. Shoup |
6. Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Active-Optical Sensor to Monitor Growth Indices and Nitrogen Nutrition of Winter WheatUsing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing monitoring system can rapidly and cost-effectively provide crop canopy information for growth diagnosis and precision fertilizer regulation. RapidScan CS-45 (Holland, Lincoln, NE, USA) is a portable active-optical sensor designed for timely, non-destructive obtaining plant canopy information without being affected by weather condition. UAV equipped with RapidScan, is of great significant for rapidly monitoring crop growth and nitrogen (N) status.... X. Liu, Q. Cao, Y. Tian, Y. Zhu, Z. Zhang, W. Cao |
7. Economic Potential of IPMwise – a Generic Decision Support System for Integrated Weed Management in 4 CountriesReducing use and dependency on pesticides in Denmark has been driven by political action plans since the 1980ies, and a series of nationally funded accompanying R&D programs were completed in the period 1989-2006. One result of these programs was a decision support system (DSS) for integrated weed management. The 4th generation (2016) of the agro-biological models and IT-tools in this DSS, named IPMwise. The concept of IPMwise is to systematically exploit that: occurrence... P. Rydahl, O. Boejer, K. Torresen, J.M. Montull, A. Taberner, H. Bückmann, A. Verschwele |
8. A Framework for Imputation of Missing Parts in UAV Orthomosaics Using Planetscope and Sentinel-2 DataIn recent years, the emergence of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), also known as drones, with high spatial resolution, has broadened the application of remote sensing in agriculture. However, UAV images commonly have specific problems with missing areas due to drone flight restrictions. Data mining techniques for imputing missing data is an activity often demanded in several fields of science. In this context, this research used the same approach to predict missing parts on orthomosaics obtained... F.R. Pereira, A.A. Dos reis, R.G. Freitas, S.R. Oliveira, L.R. Amaral, G.K. Figueiredo, J.F.

9. Nitrogen Status Prediction on Pasture Fields Can Be Reached Using Visible Light UAV Data Combined with Sentinel-2 ImageryPasture fields under integrated crop-livestock system usually receive low or no nitrogen fertilization rates, since the expectation is that nitrogen demand will be provided by the soybean remaining straw cropped previously. However, keeping nitrogen at suitable levels in the entire field is the key to achieving sustainability in agricultural production systems. In this sense, remote sensing technologies play an essential role in nitrogen monitoring in pastures and crops. With the launch of the... F.R. Pereira, J.P. Lima, R.G. Freitas, A.A. Dos reis, L.R.

10. Automated In-field Ornamental Nursery Plant Counting and Quality Assessment with End-to-end Deep Learning for Inventory ManagementEfficient inventory management and rigorous quality evaluation play crucial roles for monitoring sales, yield, space utilization, production schedules, and quality enhancements in the ornamental nursery sector. The current method for conducting inventory and quality assessments is through manual plant counting, even when dealing with thousands of plants. The prevailing approach is inefficient, time consuming, labor intensive, potential inaccuracies, and high expenses. Given the continuous decrease... H.H. Syed, T. Rehman |
11. Drought Tolerance Assessment with Statistical and Deep Learning Models on Hyperspectral Images for High-throughput Plant PhenotypingDrought is an important factor that severely restricts blueberry growth, output and adversely impacts the desirable physiologic quality. Considering the challenges posed by climate change and erratic weather patterns, evaluating the drought tolerance of blueberry plants is not only vital for the agricultural industry but also for ensuring a consistent supply of these nutritious berries to consumers. Blueberry plants have a relatively ineffective water regulation mechanism due to their shallow... M. Rahman, S. Busby, A. Sanz-saez, S. Ru, T. Rehman |
12. A High-throughput Phenotyping System Evaluating Salt Stress Tolerance in Kale Plants Cultivated in Aquaponics EnvironmentsMonitoring plant growth in a controlled environment is crucial to make informed decisions for various management practices such as fertilization, weed control, and harvesting. Agronomic, physiological, and architectural traits in kale plants (Brassica oleracea) are important to producers, breeders, and researchers for assessing the performance of the plants under biotic and abiotic stresses. Traditionally, architectural, and morphological traits have been used to monitor plant growth. However,... T. Rehman, M. Rahman, E. Ayipio, D. Lukwesa, J. Zheng, D. Wells, H.H. Syed |
