1. Evaluation of Indwelling Rumen Temperature Monitoring System for Dairy Calf Illness Detection and ManagementPrecision Dairy Farming technology has mostly focused on tools to improve cow care, but new tools are available to improve the care of pre-wean calves and heifers. These technologies apply real-time monitoring to measure individual animal data and detect a deviation from normal. On-farm validation of new technologies remains important for successful deployment of new technologies within commercial farms to understand how the technology can improve dairy calf welfare, performance, and health. ...

2. Securing Agricultural Data with Encryption Algorithms on Embedded GPU Based Edge Computing DevicesSmart Agriculture (SA) has captured the interest of both the agricultural business and the scientific community in recent years. Overall, SA aims to help the agricultural and food industry to avoid crop failures, loss of revenues as well as help farmers use inputs (such as fertilizers and pesticides) more efficiently by utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) devices and computing systems. However, rapid digitization and reliance on data-driven technologies create new security threats that can def... M. Alahe, J.O. Kemeshi, Y. Chang, K. Won, X. Yang, M. Sher |
3. Increasing the Resilience and Performance of AI-based Services Through Hybrid Cloud Infrastructures and the Use of Mobile Edge in AgricultureAgriculture, as an essential part of food production, belongs to the Critical Infrastructures (CRITIS). Accordingly, the systems used must be designed for fail-safe operation. This also applies to the software used in agricultural operations, which must meet security and resilience criteria. However, there is an increase in software that requires a permanent Internet connection, i.e., a stable connection to servers or cloud applications is required for operation. This represents a significant... D. Eberz-eder |
4. Semiautomatization in Open Source Software of a Method for Monitoring the Land Cover Change with GEE and Sentinel-2Land cover change is a dynamic process that unfolds spatially and temporally. As such, it is imperative to develop semi-automatic methods within freely available software to enhance processing efficiency and reduce costs. The amalgamation of open-source applications, platforms, and software for satellite image processing has emerged as a compelling alternative, fostering advancements in land cover change classification and monitoring. This study introduces a semi-automated methodology using t... S.A. Rubaino sosa, Y. Rubiano, J.H. Bernal riobo |
5. Avena: an Event-driven Software Framework for Informed Decisions and Actions in Cropping SystemsInteroperability is one of the enabling factors of real-time communications and data exchange between asynchronous data actors. Interoperability can be attained by introducing events to systems that extract data from consumed ground-truth event streams that utilize application-specific structures. Events are specific occurrences happening at a particular time and place. Event-data are observations of phenomena, or actions, as seen by different systems in Internet of Things (IoT) deployments, ... F.A. Castiblanco rubio, M. Basir, A. Balmos, J. Krogmeier, D.

6. Enabling Field-level Connectivity in Rural Digital Agriculture with Cloud-based LoRaWANThe widespread adoption of next-generation digital agriculture technologies in rural areas faces a critical challenge in the form of inadequate field-level connectivity. Traditional approaches to connecting people fall short in providing cost-effective solutions for many remote agricultural locations, exacerbating the digital divide. Current cellular networks, including 5G with millimeter wave technology, are urban-centric and struggle to meet the evolving digital agricultural needs, presenti... Y. Zhang, J. Bailey, A.

7. Transforming Precision Agriculture Education, Research and Outreach in Sub-saharan Africa Through Intra-africa CooperationProductivity and profitability of sub-Saharan (SSA) agriculture can be enhanced greatly through the adoption of precision agriculture technologies and tools. However, until 2020 when the African Plant Nutrition Institute (APNI) established the African Association for Precision Agriculture (AAPA), most SSA PA enthusiast worked in isolation. The AAPA was formed to innovate Africa’s agricultural industry by connecting PA science to its practice and disseminate PA tailored to the need... K.A. Frimpong, S. Phillips, V. Aduramigba-modupe, N.

8. A Case for Increased Precision Pesticide Application Adoption in California Perennial Specialty Crop ProductionMaintaining high and quality crop yields in California’s diverse agriculture requires both good crop care through nutrient management and water management and effective crop protection through integrated pest management (IPM). Despite the promotion and adoption of non-chemical IPM practices in California such as sanitation and biological control, pesticide use remains inevitable in many cases. According to the 2021 California Pesticide Use Report, 37,444,331 kg of pesticide was used in ... P.A. Larbi |
9. Pesticide Application Management Toolset for Improved Worker ProtectionThe practice of pesticide use has been widely adopted by production agriculture to maximize yields since the 1950s. Even though it provides beneficial economic returns to the farmers, it also enhances the risk of environmental pollution and is directly associated with the risk of poisoning to agricultural workers. While adhering to United States Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Worker Protection Standard (WPS) guidelines, the current systems need considerable time to provide cruc... C.

10. Participatory Irrigation Extension Programs to Increasing Adoption of Best Irrigation StrategiesFarmers in Alabama, Tennessee, and other US southeastern states lack experience in irrigation water management and adoption of the state-of-the-art technologies and practices to increase irrigation water use efficiency. Several federal and state-funded projects are being implemented to demonstrate and train farmers and consultants on irrigation scheduling strategies and variable rate irritation. Half a dozen on-farm demonstration sites are selected every year to evaluate, demonstrate, and tra... L. Nunes, E. Francisco, R. Prasad, B.V. Ortiz, E. Abban-baidoo , M. Worosz, M. Robinette , C.
