1. A Precise Fruit Inspection System for Huanglongbing and Other Common Citrus Defects Using GPU and Deep Learning TechnologiesWorld climate change and extreme weather conditions can generate uncertainties in crop production by increasing plant diseases and having significant impacts on crop yield loss. To enable precision agriculture technology in Florida’s citrus industry, a machine vision system was developed to identify common citrus production problems such as Huanglongbing (HLB), rust mite and wind scar. Objectives of this article were 1) to develop a simultaneous image acquisition system using multiple cameras... D. Choi, W. Lee, J.K. Schueller, R. Ehsani, F.M. Roka, M.A. Ritenour |
2. Rationale for and Benefits of a Community for On-Farm Data SharingMost data sets for evaluating crop production practices have too few locations and years to create reliable probabilities from predictive analytical analyses for the success of the practices. Yield monitors on combines have the potential to enable networks of farmers in collaboration with scientists and farm advisors to collect sufficient data for calculation of more reliable guidelines for crop production showing the probabilities that new or existing practices will improve the efficiency of...

3. Exploring Wireless Sensor Network Technology in Sustainable Okra Garden: A Comparative Analysis of Okra Grown in Different Fertilizer TreatmentsThe goal of this project was to explore commercial agricultural and irrigation sensor kits and to discern if the commercial wireless sensor network (WSN) is a viable tool for providing accurate real-time farm data at the nexus of food energy and water. The smart garden consists of two different varieties of Abelmoschus esculentus (okra) planted in raised beds, each grown under two different fertilizer treatments. Soil watermark sensors were programed to evaluate soil moisture and dictate irrigation... L. Burton, K. Jayachandran, S. Bhansali, Y. Mekonnen, A. Sarwat |
4. Evaluation of Indwelling Rumen Temperature Monitoring System for Dairy Calf Illness Detection and ManagementPrecision Dairy Farming technology has mostly focused on tools to improve cow care, but new tools are available to improve the care of pre-wean calves and heifers. These technologies apply real-time monitoring to measure individual animal data and detect a deviation from normal. On-farm validation of new technologies remains important for successful deployment of new technologies within commercial farms to understand how the technology can improve dairy calf welfare, performance, and health. The... J.M. Hartschuh, J.P. Fulton, S.A. Shearer, B.D. Enger, G.M. Schuenemann |
5. Enhancing Precision Agriculture Through Dual Weed Mapping: Delineating Inter and Intra-row Weed Populations for Optimized Crop ProtectionIn the field of precision agriculture, effective management of weed populations is essential for optimizing crop yield and health. This paper presents an innovative approach to weed management by employing dual weed mapping techniques that differentiate between inter-row and intra-row weed populations. Utilizing advanced imaging and data analysis of CropEye images collected by the Robotti robot from AgroIntelli (AgroIntelli A/S, Aarhus, Denmark), we have developed methods to generate distinct...

6. Developing Geospatial Method for Autopilot Harvester Trampling Evaluation in Colombian Sugarcane FieldsSugarcane is a crop of great importance for the geographical valley of the Cauca River in Colombia, where it covers approximately 241,000 hectares and is cultivated by 13 sugar mills and about 4,200 cultivators. This region is characterized by its favorable climate, which enables year-round sugarcane harvesting and its high productivity, making it a global leader in this sector. This achievement is largely attributed to the technological advances developed by Colombia Sugarcane Research Center... J.D. Ome narvaez, D.F. Sandoval, S.A. Galeano, H.B. Tarapues, A. Estrada, J.P.

7. Relationship of Activity and Temperature of Dairy Calves As Measured by Indwelling Rumen BolusesCircadian rhythm of body temperature is naturally occurring in animals with a lower temperature at dawn and higher at dusk. In the past, this work was manually completed by a person using rectal temperature with temperature recorded every 2 or 3 hours. Rumen indwelling boluses allow for continuous temperature monitoring without human intervention. Human intervention can increase animal stress which can elevate temperature. Current literature indicates that the animal’s body temperature also... J.M. Hartschuh, J.P. Fulton, S.A. Shearer, B.D. Enger, G.M. Schuenemann |
8. Method to Optimize Soil Survey for Multiple Soil PropertyThe sugarcane production system in Colombia, spanning an area of 241,000 hectares in the geographical valley of the Cauca River, is recognized worldwide due to its high productivity, adoption of advanced technologies, and sustainable management. The natural soil and climate conditions in this region result in significant variability in the chemical and physical soil properties. Consequently, determining the soil variability is crucial to achieving its maximum productive potential through differentiated... D.F. Sandoval, D.F. Perdomo |
