1. GIS Mapping of Soil Compaction and Moisture Distribution for Precision Tillage and Irrigation ManagementSoil 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, counteracted by soil tillage that loosens the soil. Higher soil bulk densities affect resistance to root penetration, soil pore volume and permeability to air, and thus, finally the pore space habitable... H.P. Jayasuriya, M. Al-wardy, S. Al-adawi, K.

2. CANopen Implementation To Wireless Sensor NetworkField buses are widely applied in the control of mobile machines. They enable us to build embedded control systems, where the sensors and actuators are connected to each other by the bus. The most commonly used bus standard for Control Area Network (CAN) between tractors and implements in agriculture and forestry is ISOBUS. Once the number of sensors and actuators increases in the implement side, a combination of ISOBUS and CANopen can be applied. CANopen is a communication protocol... R. Virrankoski, M. Madetoja |
3. Deriving Fertiliser VRA Calibration Based on Ground Sensing Data from Specific Field ExperimentsNitrogen (N) fertilisation affects both rice yield and quality. In order to improve grain yield while limiting N losses, providing N fertilisers during the critical growth stages is essential. NDRE is considered a reliable crop N status indicator, suitable to drive topdressing N fertilisation in rice. A multi-year experiment on different rice varieties (Gladio, Centauro, and Carnaroli) was conducted between 2011 and 2017 in Castello d’Agogna (PV), northwest Italy, with the aim of i) establishing...

4. A Framework for Imputation of Missing Parts in UAV Orthomosaics Using Planetscope and Sentinel-2 DataIn recent years, the emergence of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), also known as drones, with high spatial resolution, has broadened the application of remote sensing in agriculture. However, UAV images commonly have specific problems with missing areas due to drone flight restrictions. Data mining techniques for imputing missing data is an activity often demanded in several fields of science. In this context, this research used the same approach to predict missing parts on orthomosaics obtained... F.R. Pereira, A.A. Dos reis, R.G. Freitas, S.R. Oliveira, L.R. Amaral, G.K. Figueiredo, J.F.

5. Nitrogen Status Prediction on Pasture Fields Can Be Reached Using Visible Light UAV Data Combined with Sentinel-2 ImageryPasture fields under integrated crop-livestock system usually receive low or no nitrogen fertilization rates, since the expectation is that nitrogen demand will be provided by the soybean remaining straw cropped previously. However, keeping nitrogen at suitable levels in the entire field is the key to achieving sustainability in agricultural production systems. In this sense, remote sensing technologies play an essential role in nitrogen monitoring in pastures and crops. With the launch of the... F.R. Pereira, J.P. Lima, R.G. Freitas, A.A. Dos reis, L.R.

6. Comparative Analysis of Light-weight Deep Learning Architectures for Soybean Yield Estimation Based on Pod Count from Proximal Sensing Data for Mobile and Embedded Vision ApplicationsCrop yield prediction is an important aspect of farming and food-production. Therefore, estimating yield is important for crop breeders, seed-companies, and farmers to make informed real-time financial decisions. In-field soybean (Glycine max L.(Merr.)) yield estimation can be of great value to plant breeders as they screen thousands of plots to identify better yielding genotypes that ultimately will strengthen national food security. Existing soybean yield estimation tools,... J.J. Mathew, P.J. Flores, J. Stenger, C. Miranda, Z. Zhang, A.K. Das |
7. Fungicide Application Methods and Corn Variety Effect on Corn Silage Deoxynivalenol LevelsMycotoxin contamination is a major challenge for dairy producers. Deoxynivalenol, (DON) a mycotoxin produced by the fungus Fusarium graminearum, can infect both the corn stalk and ear. Studies have found that 86% of corn silage samples have some concentration of DON. Deoxynivalenol causes major issues in the dairy industry causing decreased milk production, lower components, higher SCC, and decreased reproductive performance. The objective of this research project was to determine... J.M. Hartschuh, R. Minyo |
