1. Validation of Variable Rate Spray Decision Rules in Intricate Micro-Metrological ConditionsThis study evaluated validity of modified spray decision rules formed to operate axial fan airblast sprayer retrofitted for use in citrus production. The sprayer was field tested in a spraying... L.R. Khot, R. Ehsani, G. Albrigo, J. campoy, C. Wellington, W. Swen, J. Camergo neto |
2. Measuring And Mapping Sugarcane GapsSugarcane is an important crop in tropical regions of the world and especially for Brazil, the largest sugar supplier in the market, also running a domestic fleet of flex-fuel driven vehicles based on ethanol. Site specific production management can impact sugarcane production by increasing yield and reducing cost. Sugarcane fields are planted each five years, in average, and an important parameter that is measured after the planting operation is the gaps caused by problems during planting... J.P. Veiga, D.S.

3. Development Of Online Soil Profile Sensor For Variable Depth TillageIntroduction First introduced in the early 1990s, precision agriculture technologies, or site-specific management, were considered by many to be perhaps the most significant development in production agriculture focused on improving farm profitability. The initial focus was on fertility, and treating the variability that we all knew existed from our experiences with soil sampling. However, to a large extent this application still... A.B. Tekin, H.

4. Economics of Field Size for Autonomous Crop MachinesField size constrains spatial and temporal management of agriculture with implications for farm profitability, field biodiversity and environmental performance. Large, conventional equipment struggles to farm small, irregularly shaped fields efficiently. The study hypothesized that autonomous crop machines would make it possible to farm small non-rectangular fields profitably, thereby preserving field biodiversity and other environmental benefits. Using the experience of the Hands Free Hectare... A. Al amin, J. Lowenberg‑deboer, K. Franklin, K. Behrendt |
5. Profitability of Regenerative Cropping with Autonomous Machines: an Ex-ante Assessment of a British Crop-livestock FarmFarmers, agroecological innovators and research have suggested mixed cropping as a way to promote soil health. Mixing areas of different crops in the same field is another form of precision agriculture's spatial and temporal management. The simplest form of mixed cropping is strip cropping. In conventional mechanized farming use of mixed cropping practices (i.e., strip cropping, pixel cropping) is limited by labour availability, rising wage rates, and management complexity. Regenerative agriculture... A. Al amin, J. Lowenberg-deboer, K.F. Franklin, E. Dickin, J. Monaghan, K. Behrendt |
