1. Natural Resources Management through Frontier Technologies - A Case Study from IndiaThe social and economic development of the state is interlaced with our natural resources, and the manner in which they are managed and exploited. The unplanned development and overexploitation of resources are exerting various... H.H. Gowda, K.A. Reddy, M.B. Patil, R.N. L, U. Shanwad |
2. Feature Extraction from Radial Descriptor Lines for Body Condition Scoring of CowsBody condition score (BCS) is considered as one of the most important indices for managing dairy cows, which is used to evaluate fat cover and changes in body condition. Dairy farmers should be aware of their cows BCS to be able to identify the patient cows on time and manage diets when needed. In this study, we have introduced a new index which uses Radial Descriptor Lines (RDL) for BC scoring. Based on the fact that the fatter the cow the smoother the back surface, we hypothesised that the changes... A. Jafari, F. Karimi, A. Werner, S. Ghoreishi, S. Kargar |
3. The Use of Spatial and Temporal Measures to Enhance the Sensitivity of Satellite-based Spectral Vegetation Indices to (Water) Stress in Maize FieldsClimate change and water scarcity are reducing the available irrigation water for agriculture thus turning it into a limited resource. Today calculating and estimating crop water requirements are achieved through the ETc FAO-56 model where the effect of climate on crop water requirement is determined through the water evaporation from the soil and plant (ETref), and a calendar crop coefficient (Kc). Models that... Y. Goldwasser, V. Alchanati, E. Goldshtein, Y. Cohen, A. Gips, I. Nadav |
4. Comparison of Canopy Extraction Methods from UAV Thermal Images for Temperature Mapping: a Case Study from a Peach OrchardCanopy extraction using thermal images significantly affects temperature mapping and crop water status estimation. This study aimed to compare several canopy extraction methodologies by utilizing a large database of UAV thermal images from a precision irrigation trial in a peach orchard. Canopy extraction using thermal images can be attained by purely statistical analysis (S), a combination of statistical and spatial analyses (SS), or by synchronizing thermal and RGB images, following RGB statistical...

5. Remote and Proximal Sensing for Sustainable Water Use in Almond Orchards in Southeast Spain in a Digital Farming ContextThe increasing expansion of irrigated almond orchards in regions of southeast Spain, facing water scarcity, underscores the need for a more effective and precise monitoring of the crop water status to optimize irrigation scheduling and improve crop water use efficiency. Remote and proximal sensing, combining visible, multispectral and thermal capabilities at different scales allows to estimate water needs, detect and quantify crop water stress, or identify different productivity zones within an... |
6. Precision Irrigation and Beyond: A Multi-Step Zoning Approach for Vineyard Water Management and Wine Quality EnhancementSpatial variability in soil moisture, terrain, and vine physiology presents a major challenge for efficient water management in vineyards. Traditional uniform irrigation often fails to address this heterogeneity, limiting both water use efficiency and wine quality. This study investigated spatial and temporal variations in vine water stress over five consecutive growing seasons, and evaluated zone-specific precision agriculture strategies to support improved irrigation and complementary vineyard...
