1. Determining the Marginal Value of Extra Precision in Precision Grazing Systems – an Ex Ante Analysis of Impacts on System Productivity, Sustainability and EconomicsThe development of precision livestock farming (PLF) technologies for application in grazing systems is rapidly evolving. PLF technologies that facilitate the spatial and temporal management of variability in landscapes, pastures and animals promise to improve the efficiency, profitability and sustainability of livestock farming. However, such technologies as a complete package do not yet exist in grazing systems and the question of impacts at the farm system level remains unresolved. Other potential... K. Behrendt, T.

2. Development of a System for Intelligent Plant Monitoring and CultivationCultivation in protected environments and indoor systems requires continuous monitoring. Labor shortages and delays in management decisions compromise productivity, uniformity, and efficiency. Assessments of plant stand, vegetative vigor, nutritional status, and the incidence of pests and diseases still rely on visual inspections conducted over limited periods, reducing diagnostic accuracy and response time. Although automation technologies are advancing in horticultural production, available... R. Avelar, F.O. Dos Reis Silva, A.L. Carvalho, F.M. Alves Soares, C.C. Santana |
