1. A Study On Diagnostic System Based On ISOAgLIB For Agricultural VehiclesNowadays the growth of the embedded electronics and communications has demanded the development of applications in agricultural machinery in Korean agroindustry. The root reason is that most of agricultural machineries produced in Korea does not apply international standard. Therefore, the incompatibility problem between hardware, software and data formats has become a major obstacle for exporting agricultural products made by Korea to the world. In... J. Moon, S.

2. Crop Water Stress Mapping for Site Specific Irrigation by Thermal Imagery and Artificial Reference SurfacesVariable rate irrigation machines or solid set systems have become technically feasible; however, crop water status mapping is necessary as a blueprint to match irrigation quantities to site-specific crop water demands. Remote thermal sensing can provide these maps in sufficient detail and at a timely delivery. In a set of aerial and ground scans at the Hula Valley, Israel, digital crop water stress maps were generated using geo-referenced high- resolution thermal imagery and artificial reference... M.

3. Exploring Relationships Between Dairy Herd Improvement Metrics in Minas Gerais – Brazil Dairy HerdsThe objective of the present study was to apply principal component analysis (PCA) on Brazilian Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) data to discover the subset of most meaningful variables to describe complete lactations. The Holstein Livestock Breeders Association of Minas Gerais provided data collected between 2005 and 2016 from 122 dairy farms located in the State of Minas Gerais – Brazil. Twelve numerical variables were selected from the original dataset and four additional variables were created.... G.M. Dallago, D. Figueiredo, R. Santos, P. Andrade, D. Santos |
4. Time Series Analysis of Somatic Cell Count from Dairy Herds in Minas Gerais - BrazilThe objective of this study was to analyze the temporal variation of somatic cell count (SCC) in milk of dairy cows from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Holstein Livestock Breeders Association of Minas Gerais provided data collected from 128 dairy farms located in the state of Minas Gerais between the years of 2000 and 2016. The database contains the SCC average of a total of 91,851 305-day lactations of Holstein animals. The annual SCC average was calculated as well as the percentage of... G.M. Dallago, D.

5. The Influence of Calf’s Sex on Total Milk Yield and Its Constituents of Dairy CowsThe objective of the present work was to evaluate the influence of the sex of the calf on total milk yield and its constituents of Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. The Holstein Livestock Breeders Association of Minas Gerais provided data collected over the years from 2000 to 2016 from 127 dairy farms located in the state of Minas Gerais – Brazil. The data set analyzed contained 61747 observations of Holstein-Friesian animals that calved female (n = 28903) or male (n = 32844) calf. Fat, protein,... G.M. Dallago, D. Figueiredo, R. Santos, D.

6. Precision Irrigation Management Through Conjunctive Use of Treated Wastewater and Groundwater in OmanAgriculture under arid environment is always become a challenge due to water scarcity and salinity problems. With average rainfall of 100 mm, agriculture in Oman is limited due to the arid climate and limited arable lands. More than 50 percent of the arable lands are located in the 300 km northern coastal belt of Al-Batinah region. In addition, country is facing severe problem of sea water intrusion into the groundwater aquifers due to undisciplined excessive groundwater (GW) abstraction... H. Jayasuriya, A. Al-busaidi, M.

7. A Hyperlocal Machine Learning Approach to Estimate NDVI from SAR Images for Agricultural FieldsThe normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is a key parameter in precision agriculture used globally since the 1970s. The NDVI is sensitive to the biochemical and physiological properties of the crop and is based on the Red (~650 nm) and NIR (~850 nm) spectral bands. It is used as a proxy to monitor crop growth, correlates to the crop coefficient (Kc), leaf area index (LAI), crop cover, and more. Yet, it is susceptible to clouds and other atmospheric conditions which might alter... R. Pelta, O. Beeri, T. Shilo, R. Tarshish |
8. Comparing Hyperspectral and Thermal UAV-borne Imagery for Relative Water Content Estimation in Field-grown SesameSesame (Sesamum indicum) is an irrigated oilseed crop, and studies on its water content estimation are sparred. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-borne imageries using spectral reflectance as well as thermal emittance for crops are an ample source of high throughput information about their physiological and chemical traits. Though several studies have dealt with thermal emittance to assess the crop water content, evaluating its relation to the plant’s solar reflectance is limitedly... M. Sahoo, R. Tarshish, V.
