1. Extending The Concept Of Precision Conservation To Restoration Of Rivers And StreamsComprehensive water quality management in watersheds involves management of upland and riparian environments. Efforts to optimize environmental performance of agriculture through field-scale precision conservation should be complemented with riparian restorations to enhance capacities to assimilate... M.

2. Challenges and Opportunities for Precision Dairy Farming in New Zealand.A study was commissioned by DairyNZ, a dairy industry good organisation in New Zealand, to identify some of the key challenges and opportunities in the precision dairy space. In New Zealand there has been an increasing research focus on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) ... I. Yule , C. Eastwood |
3. Proximal Sensing Tools to Estimate Pasture Quality Parameters.To date systems for estimating pasture quality have relied on destructive sampling with measurement completed in a laboratory which was very time consuming and expensive. Results were often not received until after the pasture was grazed which defeated the point of the measurement, as farmers required the information to make decisions about grazing strategies to effectively...

4. Farmer Uptake of Variable Rate Irrigation Technologies in New ZealandCost effective technological advances in recent years have allowed the uptake of variable rate irrigation (VRI) systems in New Zealand. Typically an existing sprinkler irrigator is modified for variable rate irrigation, irrigation management zones are defined using EM (electromagnetic)... C. Hedley, I. Yule |
5. The Use of Sensing Technologies to Monitor and Track the Behavior of Cows on a Commercial Dairy FarmNew Zealand farmers are facing rapidly increasing pressure to reduce nutrient losses from their farming enterprises to the environment caused by grazing ruminants. Research... I. Draganova, I. Yule, M. Stevenson |
6. A Portable Instrument For Recognition Of Farm Weeds And Management Of Chemical SprayWith the information technology being popularization and application and farmers’ knowledge level being increase in China, smartphone has been accepted by peasants used as terminal of information collection and query. Recently, because of the serious diseases and insect pests, it is impossible to prevent and control these disasters when we only rely on grassroots staffs’ investigation or professors’ instruction. If each of these farmers distributed in all of the country... S. Jian, W. Xiu, Z.D. Yan |
7. Development of Micro-tractor-based Measurement Device of Soil Organic Matter Using On-the-go Visual-near Infrared Spectroscopy in Paddy Fields of South ChinaSoil organic matter (SOM) is an essential soil property for assessing the fertility of paddy soils in South China. In this study, a set of micro-tractor-based on-the-go device was developed and integrated to measure in-situ soil visible and near infrared (VIS–NIR) spectroscopy and estimate SOM content. This micro-tractor-based on-the-go device is composed of a micro-tractor with toothed-caterpillar band, a USB2000+ VIS–NIR spectroscopy detector, a self-customized steel plow and a self-customized...

8. Unmanned Aerial Systems and Remote Sensing for Cranberry ProductionWisconsin is the largest producer of Cranberries in the United States with 5.6 million barrels produced in 2017. To date, Precision Agriculture technologies adapted to cranberry production have been limited. The objective of this research was to assess the feasibility of the use of commercial remote sensing devices and Unmanned Aerial Systems in cranberry production. Two commercially available sensors were assessed for use in cranberry production: 1) MicaSense Red Edge and 2) Zenmuse XT. Initial... B. Luck, J. Drewry, E. Chassen, S. Steffan |
