2. Position Error of Input Prescription Map Delineated From Remote ImagesThe spatial variability of biotic factors... D. Gómez-candón, J.J. Caballero-novella, J.M. Peña-barragán, M. Jurado-expósito, L. Garcia-torres, F. López-granados, A.I. Decastro |
3. 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 |
4. 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 |
5. Translating Data into Knowledge - Precision Agriculture Database in a Sugarcane Production.The advent of Information Technology in agriculture, surveying and data collection became a simple task, starting the era of "Big Data" in agricultural production. Currently, a large volume of data and information associated with the plant, soil and climate are collected quick and easily. These factors influence productivity, operating costs, investments and environment impacts. However, a major challenge for this area is the transformation of data and information... G.M. Sanches, O.T. Kolln, H.C. Franco, P.S. Magalhaes, D.G. Duft |
6. Apparent Electrical Conductivity Sensors and Their Relationship with Soil Properties in Sugarcane FieldsOne important tool within the technological precision agriculture (PA) package are the apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) sensors. This kind of sensor shows the ability in mapping soil physicochemical variability quickly, with high resolution and at low cost. However, the adoption of this technology in Brazil is not usual, particularly on sugarcane fields. A major issue for farmers is the applicability of ECa, how to convert ECa data in knowledge that may assist the producer in decision-making... G.M. Sanches, L.R. Amaral, T. Pitrat, T. Brasco, P.S. Magalhaes, D.G. Duft, H.C. Franco |
7. Economic and Environmental Impacts in Sugarcane Production to Meet the Brazilian Ethanol Demands by 2030: The Role of Precision AgricultureThe agreement signed at COP-21 reaffirms the vital compromise of Brazil with sugarcane and ethanol production. To meet the established targets, the ethanol production should be 54 billion liters in 2030. From the agronomic standpoint, two alternatives are possible; increase the planted area and/or agricultural yield. The present study aimed to evaluate the economic and environmental impacts in sugarcane production meeting the established targets in São Paulo state. In this context, were... G.M. Sanches, T.F.

8. Survey Shows Specialty and Commodity Crop Retailers Use Precision Agriculture DifferentlyThe 2021 CropLife-Purdue Survey of precision agricultural practices by US agricultural input dealers serving the American grain and oilseed sector shows that most of them use GPS guidance and related technologies like sprayer boom control, most provide variable rate fertilizer services, and the majority say that fertilizer decisions are influenced by grower data. In contrast, dealers serving horticultural and specialty crop farms indicate comparatively modest adoption of many precision agriculture... B.J. Erickson, J. Lowenberg-deboer |
9. The ISO Strategic Advisory Group for Smart Farming: a Multi-pronged Opportunity for Greater Global InteroperabilityAgriculture is becoming increasingly complex and producers must secure their profitability, sustainability, and freedom to operate under a progressively more challenging set of constraints such as climate change, regulatory pressure, changes in consumer preferences, increasing cost of inputs, and commodity price volatility. We have not, however, yet reached the level of data interoperability required for a truly "smart" farming that can tackle the aforementioned problems... R. Ferreyra, J. Lehmann |
10. 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 |
11. Global Adoption of Precision Agriculture: an Update on Trends and Emerging TechnologiesThe adoption of precision agriculture (PA) has been mixed. Some technologies (e.g., Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) guidance) have been adopted rapidly worldwide wherever there is mechanized agriculture. Adoption of some of the original PA technologies introduced in the 1990s has been modest almost everywhere (e.g., variable rate fertilizer). New and more advanced technologies based on robotics, uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), machine vision, co-robotic automation, and artificial intelligence... J. Mcfadden, B. Erickson, J. Lowenberg-deboer, G. Milics |
12. A Multi-objective Optimisation Analysis of Virtual Fencing in Precision GrazingVirtual fencing is a precision livestock farming tool consisting of invisible boundaries created via Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and managed remotely and in real time by app-based technology. Grazing livestock are equipped with battery-powered collars capable of delivering audio or vibration cues and possibly electric shocks when approaching or crossing an invisible boundary. Virtual fencing makes precision grazing possible without the need for physical fences. This technology originated... E. Maritan, K. Behrendt, J. Lowenberg-deboer, S. Morgan, M.S. Rutter |
13. Data-driven Agriculture and Sustainable Farming: Friends or Foes?Sustainability in our food and fiber agriculture systems is inherently knowledge intensive. It is more likely to be achieved by using all the knowledge, technology, and resources available, including data-driven agricultural technology and precision agriculture methods, than by relying entirely on human powers of observation, analysis, and memory following practical experience. Data collected by sensors and digested by artificial intelligence (AI) can help farmers learn about synergies... O. Rozenstein, Y. Cohen, V. Alchanatis , K. Behrendt, D.J. Bonfil, G. Eshel, A.
