1. A Non-Destructive Method of Estimating Red Tip Disease in PineappleRed Tip disease typically reduces pineapple yields by up to 50%. At present, the causal agent of Red Tip disease is still unconfirmed. B... F. Abu kassim, G. Vadamalai, A. Mohd hanif, S.K. Balasundram |
2. 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 |
3. Fluorescence Imaging Spectroscopy Applied To Citrus DiseasesDiseases are one of the most serious threats for citrus production worldwide. Sao Paulo, Brazil and Florida, USA, are the most important citrus producers and, both, are making efforts for citrus diseases control. Citrus canker is one of the serious diseases, caused by the Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri bacteria, that infects citrus trees and relatives, causing a large economic loss in the citrus juice production. Another important disease affecting the citrus production worldwide is the Huanglongbing... C. Wetterich, J. Belasque jr., L. Marcassa |
4. Monitoring Dairy Cow Activity With GPS-tracking And Supporting TechnologiesNutrient loss from dairy farms is an issue of serious concern to most dairy farmers around the world. On grazed systems such as those practiced in New Zealand animal excreta has been identified as a major source of nutrient loss, which for nitrogen (N) relates to cattle urine in particular. A study was commissioned to examine nutrient transfer around dairy farms associated with the cows with a view to developing improved precision nutrient application... I. Draganova, I.J. Yule, K. Betteridge, M.J. Hedley, K.J. Stafford |
5. Surplus Science and a Non-linear Model for the Development of Precision Agriculture TechnologyThe advent of ‘big data technologies’ such as hyperspectral imaging means that Precision Agriculture (PA) developers now have access to superabundant and highly heterogeneous data. The authors explore the limitations of the classic science model in this situation and propose a new non-linear process that is not based on the premise of controlled data scarcity. The study followed a science team tasked with developing highly advanced hyperspectral techniques for a ‘low... M.Z. Cushnahan, I.J. Yule, B.A. Wood, R. Wilson |
6. Adjustment of Corn Population and Nitrogen Fertilization Based on Management ZonesThe main objective of this study was to adjust the corn population and nitrogen fertilization according to management zones, based on past grain yield maps (seven of soybean and three of corn) and soil electrical conductivity. The study was carried out in Não-Me-Toque, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and it was conducted in a factorial strip blocks with 3 repetitions in each management zone, being the treatments: corn populations (56000, 64000, 72000, 80000 and 88000 plants ha-1),...
