1. Adoption and Tendencies of Precision Agriculture Technologies in the Tocantins State, BrazilAlthough precision agriculture is widely used throughout Brazilian crop production, it has not been used to increase the efficiency use of agricultural inputs. Besides, technologies available have not been... L. Bortolon, E. Borghi, A. Luchiari junior, E.S. Bortolon, A.A. Freitas, R.Y. Inamasu, J.C. Avanzi |
2. Adoption Level Of Precision Agriculture For Brazilian Farmers - 2011/12 Crop YearAlthough Precision Agriculture (PA) concepts and technologies are widespread in Brazil, its application still little used in some important crop production regions. The purpose of this study was to survey the current adoption level of PA by printed and online questionnaire. We started making a specific questionnaire to farmers and PA service companies using some technology related to PA. The questionnaires were developed based on the methodology of Whipker and Akridge (2009),... E. Borghi, A. Luchiari junior, L. Bortolon, E.S. Bortolon, R.Y. Inamasu, A.C. Bernardi, J.C. Avanzi |
3. Shifting Fertiliser Response Zones in a Four Year, Whole-paddock Cereal Cropping Experiment.Precision agriculture in cropping areas of dryland Australia has focused on managing within production zones. These are ideally stable, possibly soil- and topography-based areas within fields. There are many different ideas on how to delimit and implement zones, and a four year whole-field experiment, with low, medium and high treatment philosophies applied per 9m seeder/harvester width across the entire field, was established to explore how zones might best be established and used. The treatment... B. Jones, T. Mcbeath, N. Wilhelm |
4. Modelling 'Concord' Berry Weight DynamicsThe growth and development of Concord (Vitis labruscana Bailey) depends on internal and external factors. As a result, both vegetative and reproductive cycles of Concord vary based on growing season and vine status. Fresh berry weight also fluctuates depending on the growing season and location of the vineyard. Knowledge of berry weight dynamics across growing season is essential to accurately predict final yield at harvest based on early season crop estimates. The main objective of this study... G. Badr, T.R. Bates |
5. A Generative Adversarial Network-based Method for High Fidelity Synthetic Data AugmentationDigital Agriculture has led to new phenotyping methods that use artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions on image and video data collected from lab, greenhouse, and field environments. The availability of accurately annotated image and video data remains a bottleneck for developing most machine learning and deep learning models. Typically, deep learning models require thousands of unique samples to accurately learn a given task. However, manual annotation of a large dataset will... S. Sridharan, S. Sornapudi, Q. Hu, S. Kumpatla, J. Bier |
6. Enhancing PA Adoption Through Value ConnectionsDespite an increase in breadth of precision agriculture over time, and the attendant elements of digital agriculture that either support PA or integrates the outputs of PA, the pace of adoption of digital agriculture in our farming systems remains slow. In assessing impediments to adoption of digital agriculture, much work to date has focused on the value proposition as considered by individual producers or value chain actors. At this level, adoption remains constrained by perceptions of... D.W. Lamb, M.T. Schaefer |
7. Overcoming Educational Barriers for Precision Agriculture Adoption: a University Diploma in Precision Agriculture in ArgentinaThe lack of educational programs in Precision Agriculture (PA) has been reported as one of the barriers for adoption. Our goal was to improve professional competence in PA through education in crop variability, management, and effective practices of PA in real cases. In the last 20 years different efforts has been made in Argentina to increase adoption of PA. The Universidad Nacional de Rio Cuarto (UNRC) launched in 2021 the first University Diploma in PA, a 9-month program to train agronomist... G. Balboa, A. Degioanni, R. Bongiovanni, R. Melchiori, C.

8. Sparse Coding for Classification Via a Locality Regularizer: with Applications to AgricultureHigh-dimensional data is commonly encountered in various applications, including genomics, as well as image and video processing. Analyzing, computing, and visualizing such data pose significant challenges. Feature extraction methods become crucial in addressing these challenges by obtaining compressed representations that are suitable for analysis and downstream tasks. One effective technique along these lines is sparse coding, which involves representing data as a sparse linear combination of... A. Tasissa, L. Li, J.M. Murphy |
9. Assessing the Variability in Cover Crop Growth Due to Management Practices and Biophysical Conditions Using a Mixed Modeling ApproachPlanting winter cover crops provides numerous agronomic and environmental benefits. Cereal rye, which is a commonly planted cover crop in Ohio, when established, offers advantages such as recycling residual nitrogen in the soil, enhancing soil organic matter, and reducing nutrient loss. However, understanding cover crop growth is challenging due to field management and weather conditions, and insights using traditional methods are limited. Remote sensing offers a cost-effective and timely alternative... K. Kc, S. Khanal, N. Bello, S. Culman |
