1. Estimating Cotton Water Requirements Using Sentinel-2Crop coefficient (Kc)-based estimation of crop water consumption is one of the most commonly used methods for irrigation management. Spectral modeling of Kc is possible due to the high correlations between Kc and the crop phenologic development and spectral reflectance. In this study, cotton evapotranspiration was measured in the field using several methods, including eddy covariance, surface renewal, and heat pulse. Kc was estimated as the ratio between reference evapotranspiration... O. Rozenstein, N. Haymann, G. Kaplan , J. Tanny |
2. Prototype Unmanned Aerial Sprayer for Plant Protection in Agricultural and Horticultural CropsAerial application of pesticides has the potential to reduce the amount of pesticides required as chemicals are applied where needed. A prototype Unmanned Aerial Sprayer with a payload of 20 kg; a spraying rate of 6 liters per minute; a spraying swathe of 3 meters, coverage rate of 2 to 4 meters per second and 10 minutes of flight time was built using state of the art technologies. The project is a joint development by University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, KLE Technological University,... S. Reddy, D.P. Biradar, V.C. Patil, B.L. Desai, V.B. Nargund, P. Patil, V.

3. An Economic-Theory-Based Approach to Management Zone DelineationIn both the academic and popular literatures on precision agriculture technology, a management zoneis generally defined as an area in a field within which the optimal input application strategy is spatially uniform. The characteristics commonly chosen to delineate management zones, both in the literature and in commercial practice, are yield and variables associated with yield. But microeconomic theory makes clear that economically optimal input application strategies... B. Edge |
4. 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. Harari, W.E. Harris, I. Klapp, Y. Laor, R. Linker, T. Paz-kagan, S. Peets, M.S. Rutter, Y. Salzer, J. Lowenberg-deboer |
