1. Implementation of ECU For Agricultural Machines Based On IsoAgLib Open SourceIn this paper work, we consider implementation of electronic control unit (ECU) for agricultural machineries. Software implementation is based on IsoAgLib library developed by OSB&IT Engineering Company. We modify IsoAgLib and upgrade it for our target system. The IsoAgLib is an object oriented C++ library that has the communication services and management systems according to the ISO 11783 standard. This library allows building ISOBUS compatible equipment without the protocols implementation... E. Tumenjargal, L. Badarch, W. Ham, H. Kwon |
2. Design and Implementation of Virtual Terminal Based On ISO11783 Standard for Agricultural TractorsThe modern agricultural machinery most common use of the embedded electronic and remote sensing technology demands adoption of the Precision Agriculture (PA). One of the common devices is the Virtual Terminal (VT) for tractor. The VT’s functions and terminology are described in the ISO11783 standard.

3. Study On Plant Health Condition Monitoring Using Acoustic Radiation ForceIn recent years, irrigation method using the negative pressure difference attracts attention from the point of view of water saving. In addition, it is proved that this technique is effective in upbringing of the plant as well as saving of water. By measuring water distribution of soil, active irrigation control will be performed In our previous study, we confirmed that the resonance frequency of a leaf is influenced by the water stress to the plant. Thus the vibration measurement... Y. Nakagawa, M. Sano, T. Shirakawa, K. Yamagishi, T. Sugihara, M. Ohaba, S. Shibusawa, T. Sugimoto |
4. Integrated Approach to Site-specific Soil Fertility ManagementIn precision agriculture the lack of affordable methods for mapping relevant soil attributes is a fundamental problem. It restricts the development and application of advanced models and algorithms for decision making. The project “I4S - Integrated System for Site-Specific Soil Fertility Management” combines new sensing technologies with dynamic soil-crop models and decision support systems. Using sensors with different measurement principles improves the estimation of soil fertility... R. Gebbers, V. Dworak, B. Mahns, C. Weltzien, D. Büchele, I. Gornushkin, M. Mailwald, M. Ostermann, M.

5. Precision Placement of Corn Gluten Meal for Weed Control in Organic Vegetable ProductionOrganic vegetable producers rank weeds as one of their most troublesome, time consuming, and costly production problems. As a result of the limited number of organically approved weed control herbicides, the precision placement of these materials increases their potential usefulness in organic production systems. As a non-selective preemergence or preplant-incorporated herbicide, corn gluten meal (CGM) inhibits root development; decreases shoot length, and reduces plant survival. The development... C.L.

6. Automated Segmentation and Classification of Land Use from Overhead ImageryReliable land cover or habitat maps are an important component of any long-term landscape planning initiatives relying on current and past land use. Particularly in regions where sustainable management of natural resources is a goal, high spatial resolution habitat maps over large areas will give guidance in land-use management. We propose a computational approach to identify habitats based on the automated analysis of overhead imagery. Ultimately, this approach could be used to assist experts,... C. Pradalier, A.

7. Invasive and Non-Invasive Technology for Measuring Water Content of Crop Leaves in Greenhouse HorticultureMoisture status in the crop is closely related to various physiological activities of the crop. If we can measure the moisture status in the crop in real time, we can understand the photosynthetic activity, which is an important physiological activity for growing crops, and the movement of the product from photosynthesis. Therefore, we verified it is possible to measure water content of crop leaves nondestructively using invasive method and non-invasive method. As a non-invasive measurement method,... H. Umeda, K.

8. Water Use Efficiency of Precision Irrigation System Under Critical Water-Saving ConditionNon-transpiration water loss is often neglected when evaluating water use efficiency (WUE) of precision irrigation system, due to the difficulties in determining water loss from the root zone. The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a new water saving approach by controlling soil water retention around root zone during the plant growth. We grew two tomato cultivars (Anemo, Japanese variety) in an environmental controlled growth chamber, with previously oven dried and sieved... Q. Li, T. Sugihara, M. Kodaira, S. Shibusawa |
9. Opportunities for Precision Agriculture in SerbiaThe aim of this paper is to analyze the factors leading to low adoption rate of precision farming in Serbia and to describe steps being taken by BioSense institute to increase it. The majority of the arable land in Serbia is grown by small family owned and operated farms most of which are in the range of 2 to 5 ha making them highly unsustainable. Only 16% of the arable land is managed by agricultural companies and cooperatives. We believe that the adoption of advanced technologies with the currently... A.C. Tagarakis, F. Van evert, D.

10. Effect of Composts Prepared from Municipal Solid Waste in the Agrochemical Properties of Serosem Soils of UzbekistanOptimizing soil fertility and agro-chemical soil properties are currently of great importance, since the content of humus and nutrients from year to year decreases. The reason for decline of soil fertility is the lack of organic fertilizers and use of crop rotation involving leguminous perennial herb. On the other hand a source of organic fertilizer can be municipal solid waste. Currently in the cities of Uzbekistan accumulated huge amount of solid waste whose disposal is an environmental necessity... S. Kholikulov, S. Pardaev |
11. Soil Moisture Variability on Golf Course Fairways Across the United States: an Opportunity for Water Conservation with Precision IrrigationFairways account for an average of 11.3 irrigated hectares on each of the 15,000+ golf courses in the US. Annual median water use per hectare on fairways is between ~2,800,000 and 14,000,000 liters, depending on the region. Conventional fairway irrigation relies on visual observation of the turfgrass, followed by secondary considerations of short-term weather forecasts, which oftentimes lead to “blanket” applications to the entire area. The concept of precision irrigation is a strategy... C. Straw, C. Bolton, J. Young, R. Hejl, J. Friell, E. Watkins |
12. Can Topographic Indices Be Used for Irrigation Management Zone DelineationSoil water movement is affected by soil physical properties and field terrain changes. The identification of within-field areas prone to excess or deficit of soil moisture could support the implementation of variable rate irrigation and adoption of irrigation scheduling strategies. This study evaluated the use of the topographic wetness index (TWI) and topographic position index (TPI) to understand and explain within-field soil moisture variability. Volumetric water content (VWC) collected in... B.V. Ortiz, B.P. Lena, F. morlin , G. Morata, M. Duarte de val, R. Prasad, A. Gamble |
13. Effectiveness of Different Precision Soil Sampling Strategies for Site-Specific Nutrient Management in Row-CropsSoil sampling is an important component of site-specific nutrient management in precision agriculture. While precision soil sampling strategies such as grid or zone have been around for a while, the adoption and utilization of these strategies varies considerably among the growers, especially in the southeastern United States. The selection of an appropriate grid size or management zone further differ among the users depending on several factors. In order to better understand how some of the commonly... M.W. Tucker, S. Virk, G. Harris, J. Lessl, M. Levi |
14. Prediction of Field-scale Evapotranspiration Using Process Based Modeling and Geostatistical Time-series InterpolationIrrigation scheduling depends on the combination of evaporative demand from the atmosphere, spatial and temporal heterogeneity in soil properties and changes in crop canopy during a growing season. This on-farm trial is based on data collected in 72-acre processing tomato field in Central Valley of California. The Multiband Spectrometric Arable Mark 2 sensors at three different locations in the field. Multispectral and thermal imagery provided by Ceres Imaging were collected eight times during... G.
