1. Detection Of Nitrogen Deficiency In Potatoes Using Small Unmanned Aircraft SystemsSmall Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) are recognized as potentially important remote-sensing platforms for precision agriculture. A nitrogen rate experiment was established in 2013 with ‘Ranger Russet’ potatoes by applying four rates of nitrogen fertilizer (112, 224, 337, and 449 kg N/ha) in a randomized block design with 3 replicates. A Tetracam Hawkeye sUAS and Agricultural Digital Camera Lite sensor were used to collect imagery with near-infrared... D.A. Horneck, D.J. Gadler, A.E. Bruce, R.W. Turner, C.B. Spinelli, J.J.

2. Teaching Critical Thinking Skills Using Geospatial Technology As Instructional ToolsTechniques in data collection and analysis of data are important concepts for students of precision farming. Also needed in conjunction with these concepts are critical thinking and problem solving skills. Employers often list critical thinking skills as one of the most important characteristics for new employees. Helping students experience and acquire critical thinking skills can be difficult. Geospatial technologies are not only useful precision farming tools, they are also educational tools... T.A. Brase |
3. 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 |
