2. Weed Seedlings Detection In Winter Cereals For Site-Specific Control: Use Of UAV Imagery To Overcome The ChallengeWeed management is an important part of the investments in crop production. Cost of herbicides accounts for approximately 40% of the cost of all the chemicals applied to agricultural land in Europe. In order to increase the profitability of crop production and to reduce the environmental concerns related to chemicals application, it is needed to develop site-specific weed management strategies in which herbicides are only applied in the crop zones were weeds spread. Moreover, these... J. Peña, A. De castro, F. López-granados, J. Torres-sánchez |
3. Recognition And Classification Of Weeds In Sugarcane Using The Technique Of The Bag Of WordsThe production of sugar and ethanol in Brazil is very prominent economically and the reducing costs and improving the production system being necessary. The management crops operations of sugarcane and the control of weed is one of the processes that cause the greatest increase in production costs; because the competition that exists between cane plants and weed, for water, nutrients and sunlight is big, contribute to the loss of up to 20% of the useful cane. The use of image processing techniques... W.E. Santiago, A.R. Barreto, D.G. Figueredo, R.C. Tinini, B.T. Mederos, N.J. Leite |
4. Field-Based High-Throughput Phenotyping Approach For Soybean Plant ImprovementThe continued development of new, high yielding cultivars needed to meet the world’s growing food demands will be aided by improving the technology to rapidly phenotype potential cultivars. High-throughput phenotyping (HTP) is essential to maximize the greatest value of genetics analysis and to better understand the plant biology and physiology in view of a “Feed the World in 2050” theme. Field-based high-throughput phenotyping platform... L. Li, D. Jiang, R.P. Campos, Z. Lu, L.F. Tian |
5. Near-Real-Time Remote Sensing And Yield Monitoring Of Biomass CropsThe demand for bioenergy crops production has increased tremendously by the biofuel industry for substitution of traditional fuels due to the economic availability and environmental benefits. Pre-Harvest monitoring of biomass production is necessary to develop optimized instrumentation and data processing systems for crop growth, health and stress monitoring; and to develop algorithms for field operation scheduling. To cope with the problems of missing critical... Y. Zhao, L. Li, K.C. Ting, L.F. Tian, T. Ahamed |
6. A Novel Hyperspectral Feature Extraction Algorithm Based On Waveform Resolving For Raisin ClassificationNear infrared hyperspectral imaging technology was adopted in the paper to determine the variety of raisins produced in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. There are 2 varieties of raisins taking part in the research and the wavelengths of the hyperspectral images are from 900nm to 1700nm. A novel waveform resolving method was proposed in the paper to reduce the hyperspectral data and extract features. The waveform resolving method compresses the original hyperspectral data for one pixel... Y. Zhao, X. Xu, Y. Shao, Y. He, Q. Li |
7. Study Of Spatio-Temporal Variation Of Soil Nutrients In Paddy Rice Planting FarmIt is significant to analysis the spatial and temporal variation of soil nutrients for precision agriculture especially in large-scale farms. For the data size of soil nutrients grows once after sampling which mostly by the frequency of one year or months, to discover the changing trends of exact nutrient would be instructive for the fertilization in the future. In this study, theories of GIS and geostatistics were used to characterize the spatial and temporal variability of soil... C. Wang, T. Chen, J. Dong, C. Li |
8. Evaluation of a Seed-fertilizer Application System Using a Laser ScannerThe system evaluated is a design that combines planter and sprayer technologies to allow clients to plant crops while simultaneously spraying initial fertilizer on or in close proximity to the seed. The system is an idea Capstan Ag Systems has been pursuing for around 15 years, and has recently been revived in a partnership with Great Plains Manufacturing Company. Great Plains Manufacturing released the final product under the name AccushotTM at the 2015... P. Weckler, N. Wang, C. Zhai, L. Zhang, B. Luo, J. Long, R. Taylor |
9. Development of a Multiband Sensor for Citrus Black Spot Disease DetectionCitrus black spot (CBS), or Guignardia citricarpa, is known as the most destroying citrus fungal disease worldwide. CBS causes yield loss as a result of early fruit drop, and it leaves severely blemished and unmarketable fruit. While leaves usually remain symptomless, CBS generates various forms of lesions on citrus fruits including hard spot, cracked spot, and virulent spot. CBS lesions often appear on maturing fruit, starting two months before maturity. Warm temperature and sunlight exposure... A. Pourreza, W. Lee, J. Lu, P. Roberts |
10. The Device of Air-assisted Side Deep Precision Fertilization for Rice TransplanterRice is the most important crop in China, which has the largest plant area. Fertilization is an important process of rice production, which directly affects the yield of crops, reasonable and effective use of chemical fertilizer can improve the yield of crops. At present, the mechanization level of rice fertilization is very low in China, and the artificial fertilization requires a large amount of fertilizer which caused the uneven distribution. The rice side deep fertilizing is an ideal way of... C. Zhao, G. Wu, Z. Meng, W. Fu, L. Li, X. Wei |
11. Economics of Gps-enabled Navigation TechnologiesTo address the economic feasibility of global positioning system (GPS) enabled navigation technologies including automated guidance and lightbar, a linear programming model was formulated using data from Midwestern U.S. Corn Belt farms. Five scenarios were compared: (i) a baseline scenario with foam, disk or other visual marker reference, (ii) lightbar navigation with basic GPS availability (+/-3 dm accuracy), (iii) lightbar with satellite subscription correction GPS (+/-1 dm), (iv) automated...

12. Precision Nitrogen Management Based on Nitrogen Removal in Rainfed WheatGrowers of hard red spring wheat may capture price premiums for maximizing the protein concentration of their grain. Nitrogen (N) nutrition adequacy is crucial to achieving high grain protein concentration. The objective of this study was to determine the usefulness of N removal maps by comparing grain protein, yields, and dollar returns obtained from this precision N management approach with that from conventional uniform N management. Strip plot experiments were designed to compare spatially... D.J. Bonfil, I. Mufradi, S. Asido, D.S. Long |
13. Regional Usefulness of Nitrogen Management Zone Delineation ToolsIn the Northern Plains of Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota, a number of site-specific tools have been used to delineate nitrogen management zones. A three-year study was conducted using yield mapping, elevation measurements, satellite imagery, aerial Ektochrome® photography, and soil EC to delineate nitrogen management zones and compare these zones to residual fall soil nitrate. At most of the sites, variable-rate N was applied and compared with uniform N application. The site-specific... D. Franzen, F. Casey, J. Staricka, D. Long, J. Lamb, A. Sims, M. Halvorson, V. Hofman |
14. On-combine Near Infrared Spectroscopy Applied to Prediction of Grain Test WeightWhole grain near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a widely accepted method for analysis of the protein and moisture contents of grain, but is seldom applied to predict test weight. Test weight is a widely used specification for grading of wheat and predictor of flour yield. The objective of this study was to determine whether NIR spectroscopy could be used for measuring the test weight of grain.
