Indigenous Knowledge is the information base of a society, which facilitates communication and decision-making. Indigenous information systems are dynamic, and are continually influenced by internal creativity and experimentation as well as by contact with external systems. Researchers ...

Soil compaction is one of the forms of physical change of soil structure which has positive and negative effects, in agriculture considered to make soil degradation. The undisciplined use of heavy load traffic or machinery in modern agriculture causes substantial soil compaction, counterac...

Cotton root rot is a severe soilborne disease that has affected cotton production for over a century. Recent research has shown that a commercial fungicide, flutriafol, has potential for the control of this disease. To effectively and economically control this disease, it is necessary to i...

When the first ICPA was held, we had a collection of new technologies and a lot of “dreams” about how they might be applied in agriculture. Reliability and compatibility issues made implementation a struggle for most people. The internet was being tested in university labs and some pe...

Using 3D reconstruction result to investigate plant morphology has been a focus of virtual plant. And multispectral imaging has proved to carried biological infor­mation in quite a lot work. This paper present a idea to investigate chlorophyll spatial variability of cactus using a bunc...

To improve results in automatic wheat ear counting by proxy-detection for early yield prediction, we need depth information of the scene. In this paper, we describe our 3D acquisition system dedicated to reconstruction of agronomic scenes. This system is composed of a camera mounted on a linea...

This study aims to establish an agricultural support system with advanced agricultural knowledge and technology that can support for any production area or varieties using IT. In this study, we investigated the availability of soil information collected using the soil moisture sensor to cr...

Imaging systems, specifically stereo rigs, are becoming more widely used in several domains. In precision agriculture stereovision can be used to characterize the fertilizer centrifugal spreading process and to control the spreading fertilizer distribution pattern on the ground. The final goal...

Farmers have recently become more interested in implementing variable-rate seeding of corn and cotton in Alabama due to increasing seed costs and the potential to maximize yields site-specifically due to inherent field variability. Therefore, an on-farm case study was conducted to evaluate the fe...

ABSTRACT For the sensing of crop conditions, a number of platforms, varying from proximal (tractor-mounted) ones to satellites orbiting the Earth, are available. Access to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, that are able to carry sensors payloads providing data at a very hig...
