1. Precision Nutrient Management System Based on Ion and Crop Growth SensingAutomated sensing and variable-rate supply of nutrients in hydroponic solutions according to the status of crop growth would allow more efficient nutrient management for crop growth in closed systems. The Structure from Motion (SfM) method has risen as a new image sensing method to obtain 3D images of plants that can be used to estimate their growth, such as leaf cover area (LCA), plant height, and fresh weight. In this sense, sensor fusion technology combining ion-selective electrodes (ISEs)... W. Cho, D. Kim, C. Kang, H. Kim, J. Son, S. Chung, J. Jiang, H. Yun |
2. Comparison of Different Aspatial and Spatial Indicators to Assess Performance of Spatialized Crop Models at Different Within-field ScalesMost current crop models are point-based models, i.e. they simulate agronomic variables on a spatial footprint on which they were initially designed (e.g. plant, field, region scale). To assess their performances, many indicators based on the comparison of estimated vs observed data, can be used such as root mean square error (RMSE) or Willmott index of agreement (D-index) among others. However, shifting model use from a strategic objective to tactical in-season management is becoming a significant... D. Pasquel, S. Roux, B. Tisseyre, J.A. Taylor |
3. Automatic Body Condition Score Classification System for Individual Beef Cattle Using Computer VisionBody condition scoring (BCS) is a widely used parameter for assessing the utilization of energy reserves in the fat and muscle of cattle. It fulfills the needs of animal welfare and precision livestock farming by enabling effective monitoring of individual animals. It serves as a crucial parameter for optimizing nutrition, reproductive performance, overall health, and economic outcomes in beef cattle. The precise and consistent assessment of BCS relies on personal experience using visuals that... M. Islam, J. Yoder, H. Gan |
4. Comparative Analysis of Spray Nozzles on Drones: Volumetric Distribution at Different HeightsAgricultural drones are emerging as a revolutionary tool in modern agriculture, aiming to enhance precision and efficiency in crop management. One of their main advantages is the ability to operate in adverse soil and canopy height conditions, making them a valuable instrument for the application of agrochemicals. In this context, the optimization of spraying systems plays a critical role, with the goal of ensuring the effective application of agrochemicals, aiming to maximize productivity and... A.
