1. Developing A High-Resolution Land Data Assimilation And Forecast System For Agricultural Decision SupportTechnological advances in weather and climate forecasting and land surface and hydrology modeling have led to an increased ability to predict soil temperature, and soil moisture, near-surface weather elements. These variables are critical building blocks to the development of high-level agriculture-specific models such as pest models and crop yield models. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has developed a high-resolution agriculture-oriented land-data assimilation... W. Mahoney, M. Barlage, D. Gochis, F. Chen |
2. Detection of Citrus Canker in Orange Plantation Using Fluorescence SpectroscopyCitrus canker is a serious disease, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Citri bacteria, which infects orange trees (Citrus aurantium L.), leading to a large economic loss in the orange juice production. Brazil produces 50% of the industrialized orange juice in the world. Therefore, the early detection and control of such disease is important for Brazilian economy. However this task is very hard and so far it has been done by naked eye inspection of each tree. Our goal is to... E.C. Lins, J. Belasque junior, L.G. Marcassa |
