1. Young Leaf Detection for Spot Spray Treatment of Citrus Canopies to Control PsyllidsHuanglongbing (HLB) is an important disease of citrus that is spread mainly through a vector, psyllid (Diaphorina citri), that feeds predominantly on young leaves. Given the selective feeding of the insect, treating only the young flush, instead of spraying the entire... R. Ehsani, M. Salyani, J.M. Maja, A.R. Mishra, P.A. Larbi, J. Camargo neto |
2. Integrated Approach to Site-specific Soil Fertility ManagementIn precision agriculture the lack of affordable methods for mapping relevant soil attributes is a fundamental problem. It restricts the development and application of advanced models and algorithms for decision making. The project “I4S - Integrated System for Site-Specific Soil Fertility Management” combines new sensing technologies with dynamic soil-crop models and decision support systems. Using sensors with different measurement principles improves the estimation of soil fertility... R. Gebbers, V. Dworak, B. Mahns, C. Weltzien, D. Büchele, I. Gornushkin, M. Mailwald, M. Ostermann, M. Rühlmann, T. Schmid, M. Maiwald, B. Sumpf, J. Rühlmann, M. Bourouah, H. Scheithauer, K. Heil, T. Heggemann, M. Leenen, S. Pätzold, G. Welp, T. Chudy, A. Mizgirev, P. Wagner, T. Beitz, M. Kumke, D.

3. Optimizing Corn Seeding Depth by Soil Texture to Achieve Uniform StandCorn (Zea mays L.) yield potential can be affected by uneven emergence. Corn emergence is influenced by both management and environmental conditions. Varying planting depth and rate as determined by soil characteristics could help improve emergence uniformity and grain yield. This study was conducted to assess varying corn seeding depths on plant emergence uniformity and yield on fine- and coarse-textured soils. Research was conducted on alluvial soil adjacent to the Missouri river with contrasting... S. Stewart, N. Kitcken, M. Yost, L. Conway |
4. Toward Smart Soybean Variety Selection Using UAV-based Imagery and Machine LearningThe efficiency of crop breeding programs is evaluated by the genetic gain of a primary trait of interest, e.g., yield and resilience to stress, achieved in one year through artificial selection of advanced breeding materials. Conventional breeding programs select superior genotypes using the primary trait (yield) based on combine harvesters, which is labor-intensive and often unfeasible for single-row progeny trials due to their large population, complex genetic behavior, and high genotype-environment...

5. Develop Portable Near-infrared Sensing Devices for Rapid Seed Moisture Measuring in Grass Seed CropsTo maximize harvest efficiency and seed yield, it is essential to harvest seed crops at appropriate timing. Seed moisture content (SMC) is the most reliable indicator of seed maturity and harvest timing in grass seed crops. Currently, to determine the SMC of a particular field, a minimum sample of 30 to 50 seed heads has to be collected from representative areas of the field and measured by wet and dry weights to calculate the SMC. The seeds must be either oven dried, microwave dried, or placed... J. Zhou |
