5. Disease Scouting For Aerial Blight Based On Logical Areas Of Collection In Soybean Fields Rotated With RiceRhizoctonia solani AG1-IA causes sheath blight in rice and aerial blight in soybean. In Arkansas, rice and soybean rotations facilitate a continuous source of R. solani AG1-IA inoculum from one year to the next. Aerial blight is a two stage disease where colonization of the plant occurs during the early vegetative growth stages and aerial blight symptoms occur during the reproductive growth stages after canopy closure. At canopy closure,... C.S. Rothrock, W.S. Monfort, T.W. Griffin, T.N. Spurlock |
6. A Multi Sensor Data Fusion Approach for Creating Variable Depth Tillage Zones.Efficiency of tillage depends largely on the nature of the field, soil type, spatial distribution of soil properties and the correct setting of the tillage implement. However, current tillage practice is often implemented without full understanding of machine design and capability leading to lowered efficiency and further potential damage to the soil structure. By modifying the physical properties of soil only where the tillage is needed for optimum crop growth, variable depth tillage (VDT)... D. Whattoff, D. Mouazen, D. Waine |
7. Technology Support for Game Monitoring As a Tool for Damages Reduction of Field CropsWild boars (Sus scrofa) are increasingly becoming the main cause of field crops damage in Czech Republic and central Europe area. There are many reasons why wild boars population is growing. The major reason is most likely change in the composition of field crops. In some areas in particular there is focus on oilseed rape and maize, for which there are also recorded the biggest losses. One of the key discussion topics is the issue of estimation of animal quantities and its traceability.... J. Jarolimek, M. Stočes, M. Ulman, J. Vaněk |
8. Field Sampling and Electrochemical Detection of Nitrate in Agricultural SoilsNitrate is an essential plant nutrient and is added to farm fields to increase crop yields. While the addition of nitrate is important for production, over-fertilization with nitrate can lead to leaching and contamination of water bodies. Increased nitrate loading in water sources then leads to eutrophication and hypoxia in downstream regions. Many efforts are being made to accurately control nitrate fertilizer additions to fields. Here, we present a soil sampling device that directly samples... J. Brockgreitens, M. Bui, A. Abbas, D. Mulla |
9. Developing Nitrogen Algorithms for Corn Production Using Optical SensorsRemote sensing for nitrogen management in cereal crops has been an intensive research area due to environmental concerns and economic realities of today’s agronomic system.

10. Canopy Temperature Mapping with a Vineyard RobotThe wine industry is a strategic sector in many countries worldwide. High revenues in the wine market typically result in higher investments in specialized equipment, so that producers can introduce disruptive technology for increasing grape production and quality. However, many European producers are approaching retirement age, and therefore the agricultural sector needs a way for attracting young farmers who can assure the smooth transition between generations; digital technology offers an opportunity...

11. Risk Efficiency of Site-Specific Nitrogen Management with Respect to Grain QualityProfitability analyses of site-specific nitrogen management strategies have often failed to provide reasons for adoption of precision farming implements. However, often effects of precision farming on product quality and price premiums were not taken into account. This study aims to evaluate comparative advantages of site-specific nitrogen management over uniform nitrogen management with respect to aspects of risk, considering fertilizer effects on grain quality and price premiums. We developed... A. Meyer-aurich, Y. Karatay, M. Gandorfer |
12. Economic Potential of RoboWeedMaps - Use of Deep Learning for Production of Weed Maps and Herbicide Application MapsIn Denmark, a new IPM ‘product chain’ has been constructed, which starts with systematic photographing of fields and ends up with field- or site-specific herbicide application. A special high-speed camera, mounted on an ATV took sufficiently good pictures of small weed plants, while driving up to 50 km/h. Pictures were uploaded to the RoboWeedMaps online platform, where appointed internal- and external persons with agro-botanical experience executed ‘virtual field inspection’... P. Rydahl, O.

13. Deep Learning-Based Corn Disease Tracking Using RTK Geolocated UAS ImageryDeep learning-based solutions for precision agriculture have achieved promising results in recent times. Deep learning has been used to accurately classify different disease types and disease severity estimation as an initial stage for developing robust disease management systems. However, tracking the spread of diseases, identifying disease hot spots within cornfields, and notifying farmers using deep learning and UAS imagery remains a critical research gap. Therefore, in this study, high resolution,... A. Ahmad, V. Aggarwal, D. Saraswat, A. El gamal, G. Johal |
