1. Spot- Application of Pre-Emergence Herbicide Using a Variable Rate Sprayer in Wild BlueberryWild blueberry producers apply herbicides uniformly to control grasses and weeds without considering the significant weed density variability and bare spots within fields. The repeated and excessive use of herbicides... Q. Zaman, Y. Chang, A. Farooque, A. Schumann, D. Percival, M. Cheema, T. Esau |
2. Impact of Variable Rate Fertilization on Nutrients Losses in Surface Runoff for Wild Blueberry FieldsWild blueberry producers apply agrochemicals uniformly without considering substantial variation in soil properties, topographic features that may affect fruit yield within field. A wild blueberry field was selected to evaluate the impact of variable rate (VR) fertilization on nutrient losses in surface runoff from steep slope to low lying areas to improve crop... S.

3. Precision Sensors For Improved Nitrogen Recommendations In WheatCrop sensor-based systems with developed algorithms for making mid-season fertilizer nitrogen (N) recommendations are commercially available to producers in some parts of the world. Although there is growing interest in these technologies by grain producers in Montana, use is limited by the lack of local research under Montana’s semiarid conditions. A field study was carried out at two locations in 2011, three locations in 2012, and two locations in 2013 in North West Montana:... O.S. Walsh, A. Pandey, R. Christiaens |
4. Creation Of Prescription For Optimal Nitrogen Fertilization Through Evaluation Of Soil Carbon Amount Using Remotely Sensed DataIn these years, drastic increase of agricultural production costs has been induced, which was triggered by the sharp rise of costs relating to agricultural production materials such as fertilizers and oil. In Japan, the substantial negative influence is anticipated to spread over to management of the farmers particularly in Hokkaido, the northern part of Japan. As one of the measures against this influence, a plan of effective fertilizer application and also... E. Tamura, K. Aijima, K. Niwa, O. Nagata, K. Wakabayashi, C. Hongo |
5. Developing A High-Resolution Land Data Assimilation And Forecast System For Agricultural Decision SupportTechnological advances in weather and climate forecasting and land surface and hydrology modeling have led to an increased ability to predict soil temperature, and soil moisture, near-surface weather elements. These variables are critical building blocks to the development of high-level agriculture-specific models such as pest models and crop yield models. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has developed a high-resolution agriculture-oriented land-data assimilation... W. Mahoney, M. Barlage, D. Gochis, F. Chen |
6. sUAVS Technology For Better Monitoring Crop Status For Winter CanolaThe small-unmanned aircraft vehicles (sUAVS) are currently gaining more popularity in agriculture with uses including identification of weeds and crop production issues, diagnosing nutrient deficiencies, detection of chemical drift, scouting for pests, identification of biotic or abiotic stresses, and prediction of biomass and yield. Research information on the use of sUAVS have been published and conducted in crops such as rice, wheat, and corn, but the development of... I.A. Ciampitti, K. Shroyer, V. Prasad, A. Sharda, M.J.

7. Use of Satellite Data to Improve Damage Assessment Process for Agricultural Insurance Scheme in IndonesiaGoal is to develop new method utilizing satellite data for assessment of damage in paddy field which can contribute toward substantial reduction of the damage assessment time and costs in framework of agricultural insurance in Indonesia. For the damage assessment, estimation of yield in each paddy plot is a key, so the research on the estimation of rice yield was carried out using satellite data which was acquired in harvesting season. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted for the... C. Hongo, C. Ogasawara, E. Tamura, G. Sigit |
8. Application of Drone Data to Assess Damage Intensity of Bacterial Leaf Blight Disease on Rice Crop in IndonesiaThe Government of Indonesia has launched agricultural insurance program since 2016. A key in agricultural insurance is damage assessment which is required to be as precise, quick, quantitative and inexpensive as possible. Current method is to inspect the damage by human eyes of specialist having experiences. This method, however, costs much and is difficult to estimate disease infected fields precisely in wide area. So, there is increasing need to develop effective, simplified and low cost method... C. Hongo, S. Isono, G. Sigit, B. Utoyo, E. Tamura |
9. Voronoi-based Ant Colony Optimization Approach: Autonomous Robotic Swarm Navigation for Crop Disease DetectionThe early detection of agricultural diseases is essential for sustaining food production and economic viability over the long term. To improve disease detection in agriculture, this paper presents an innovative computational approach that utilizes the Voronoi-based Ant Colony Optimization (V-ACO) algorithm with Swarm Robotics (SR). Inspired by the social behaviors observed in insect colonies such as honeybees and ants, SR offers new opportunities for precision farming. SR utilizes the coordinated... S. Gummi, M. Alahe, Y.
