1. Mapping The Effect Of Food Prices, Productivity And Poverty In The Development Domains Of NigeriaPoverty remains the major obstacle to economic emancipation and achievement of development agenda in Nigeria. Worse still, rising food prices pose a major threat to feeding the teeming population in Nigeria. Declining food production, high population growth, and negative food trade balance combine to worsen the food and poverty situations in Nigeria. We stand on the premise that surging and volatile food prices could have a hardest hit on those who could not afford it –... O.E. Olayide, A.E. Ikpi, V.O. Okoruwa, , T. Alabi, T. Omodele |
2. Changes Of Data Sampling Procedure To Avoid Energy And Data Losses During Microclimates Monitoring With Wireless Sensor Networks... J.C. Benavente, C.E. Cugnasca, M.F. Barros, H.P. Santos, G. Http://icons.paqinteractive.com/16x16/ac |
3. An Inter-connection Model Between Standard Zigbee And Isobus Network (ISO11783)The typical five-step cyclical process of precision agriculture includes soil and environment data collection, diagnosis, data analysis, precision field correction operation and evaluations. Usually, some steps are executed in field, others in the farm office and others in both. This can result in a complex system and consequently in waste of time and high cost in equipment, tools and workmanship. To simplify this process, the challenge is running... M.F. Barros, C.E.

4. Pesticide Drift Control with Wireless Sensor NetworksPrecision Agriculture is an agricultural practice that uses technology based on the principle of variability. The geographically referenced data implement the process of agricultural automation so as to dose fertilizers and pesticides. The efficient application of low cost pesticides without contamination the environment is an agricultural production challenge. The main effect to be avoided during application is pesticide drift. To minimize it is important to know the environmental conditions,... C.E. Cugnasca, I.M. Santos |
5. Radio Frequency Identification For Implementing Traceability In The Cotton Production In The Brazilian MidwestAccording to the International Cotton Advisory Committee - ICAC projection for the fiber in cotton production for the crop year 2012/2013 is expected to reach an amount of 15.19 million tons , according to a forecast released in August 2012 . In the Brazilian context , according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply of Brazil cotton cultivation in Brazil has grown especially in the Midwest . In particular , exports of cotton fiber increased twice in one season in 2003/2004... C. Santos, E.O. Weschter, M.A. Dota, C.E. Cugnasca |
6. Site-Specific Variability Of Grape Composition And Wine QualityPrecision Viticulture (PV) is the application of site-specific tools to delineate management zones in vineyards for either targeting inputs or harvesting blocks according to grape maturity status. For the creation of management zones, soil properties, topography, canopy characteristics and grape yield are commonly measured during the growing season. The majority of PV studies in winegrapes have focused on the relation of soil and vine-related spatial data with grape composition... S. Fountas, Y. Kotseridis, A. Balafoutis, E. Anastasiou, S.

7. Toward Geopolitical-Context-Enabled Interoperability in Precision Agriculture: AgGateway's SPADE, PAIL, WAVE, CART and ADAPTAgGateway is a nonprofit consortium of 240+ businesses working to promote, enable and expand eAgriculture. It provides a non-competitive collaborative environment, transparent funding and governance models, and anti-trust and intellectual property policies that guide and protect members’ contributions and implementations. AgGateway primarily focuses on implementing existing standards and collaborating with other organizations to extend them when necessary. In 2010 AgGateway identified... R. Ferreyra, D.B.

8. Site-Specific Management Zones Delineation Using Drone-Based Hyperspectral ImageryConventional techniques (e.g., intensive soil sampling) for site-specific management zones (MZ) delineation are often laborious and time-consuming. Using drones equipped with hyperspectral system can overcome some of the disadvantages of these techniques. The present work aimed to develop a drone-based hyperspectral imagery method to characterize the spatial variability of soil physical properties in order to delineate site-specific MZ. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) was used to extract... H. Agili, K. Chokmani, A. Cambouris, I. Perron, J. Poulin |
9. AgronomoBot: A Smart Answering Chatbot Applied to Agricultural Sensor NetworksMobile devices advanced adoption has fostered the creation of various messaging applications providing convenience and practicality in general communication. In this sense, new technologies arise bringing automatic, continuous and intelligent features for communication through messaging applications by using web robots, also called Chatbots. Those are computer programs that simulate a real conversation between humans to answer questions or do tasks, giving the impression that the person is talking... G.M. Mostaço, L.B. Campos, C.E.

10. ADAPT: A Rosetta Stone for Agricultural DataModern farming requires increasing amounts of data exchange among hardware and software systems. Precision agriculture technologies were meant to enable growers to have information at their fingertips to keep accurate farm records (and calculate production costs), improve decision-making and promote efficiencies in crop management, enable greater traceability, and so forth. The attainment of these goals has been limited by the plethora of proprietary, incompatible data formats among... D.D. Danford, K.J. Nelson, S.T. Rhea, M.W. Stelford, R. Ferreyra, J.A. Wilson, B.E.

11. Optimizing Vineyard Crop Protection: an In-depth Study of Spraying Drone Operational ParametersIn modern agriculture, the precise and efficient application of agrochemicals is essential to ensure crop health and increase productivity while minimizing adverse environmental impacts. While traditional spraying methods have long been the cornerstone of crop protection, the introduction of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones), has led to a revolutionary era in agriculture. UAVs offer novel opportunities to improve agricultural practices by providing precision, efficiency,... V. Psiroukis, S. Fountas, H. Uyar, A. Balafoutis, A. Kasimati |
12. Design of an Autonomous Ag Platform Capable of Field Scale Data Collection in Support of Artificial IntelligenceThe Pivot+ Array is intended to serve as an innovative, multi-user research platform dedicated to the autonomous monitoring, analysis, and manipulation of crops and inputs at the plant scale, covering extensive areas. It will effectively address many constraints that have historically limited large-scale agricultural sensor and robotic research.
