1. Spatial Variability of Inceptisol and Entisol Soils and Their Effect on Merlot Grape Must CompositionTechnologies associated to precision agriculture are being used in some crops in Brazil, mainly soybean, wheat, corn and sugarcane. However, information on its use in viticulture is scarce. Thus, a research was carried out during the vegetative cycle of 2010/2011 in a clone 347 Merlot... C. Flores, J. Filippini a., A. Miele |
2. Evaluating low-cost Lidar and Active Optical Sensors for pasture and forage biomass assessmentAccurate and reliable assessment of pasture or forage biomass remains one of the key challenges for grazing industries. Livestock managers require accurate estimates of the grassland biomass available over their farm to enable optimal stocking rate decisions. This paper reports on our investigations into the potential application of affordable Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) systems and Active Optical (reflectance) Sensors (AOS) to estimate pasture biomass. We evaluated the calibration accuracy... M. Trotter, K. Andersson, M. Welch, M. Chau, L. Frizzel, D. Schneider |
3. Active Canopy Sensors for the Detection of Non-Responsive Areas to Nitrogen Application in WheatActive canopy sensors offer accurate measurements of crop growth status that have been used in real time to estimate nitrogen (N) requirements. NDVI can be used to determine the absolute amount of fertilizer requirement, or simply to distribute within the field an average rate defined by decision models using other diagnostics. The objective of this work was to evaluate the capacity of active canopy sensors to determine yield and N application requirements within a site at jointing stage (Feeks... A.G. Berger, E.
