1. Evaluating Water Status in Potato Fields Using Combined Information from RGB and Thermal Aerial ImagesPotato yield and quality are highly dependent on an adequate supply of water. In this study the combined information from RGB and thermal aerial images to evaluate... Y. Cohen, V. Alchanatis, B. Heuer, H. Lemcoff, M. Sprintsin, C. Rosen, D. Mulla, T. Nigon, Z. Dar, A.

2. Automatic Detection And Mapping Of Irrigation System Failures Using Remotely Sensed Canopy Temperature And Image ProcessingToday there is no systematic way to identify and locate failures of irrigation systems mainly because of the labor costs associated with locating the failures. The general aim of this study was to develop an airborne thermal imaging system for semi - automatic monitoring and mapping of irrigation system failures, specifically, of leaks and clogs. Initially, leaks and clogs were simulated by setting controlled trials in table grapes vineyards and olive groves. Airborne thermal... V. Alchanatis, Y. Cohen, M. Sprinstin, A. Cohen, I. Zipori, A.

3. Towards Data-intensive, More Sustainable Farming: Advances in Predicting Crop Growth and Use of Variable Rate Technology in Arable Crops in the NetherlandsPrecision farming (PF) will contribute to more sustainable agriculture and the global challenge of producing ‘More with less’. It is based on the farm management concept of observing, measuring and responding to inter- and intra-field variability in crops. Computers enabled the use of Farm Management Information Systems (FMIS) and farm and field specific Decision Support Systems (DSS) since mid-1980s. GIS and GNSS allowed since ca. 2000 geo-referencing of data and controlled traffic... C. Kempenaar, F. Van evert, T. Been, C. Kocks, K. Westerdijk, S. Nysten |
4. Predicted Nitrate-N Loads for Fall, Spring, and VRN Fertilizer Application in Southern MinnesotaNitrate-N from agricultural fields is a source of pollution to fresh and marine waters via subsurface tile drainage. Sensor-based technologies that allow for in-season monitoring of crop nitrogen requirements may represent a way to reduce nitrate-N loadings to surface waters by allowing for fertilizer application on a more precise spatial and temporal resolution. However, little research has been done to determine its effectiveness in reducing nitrate-N losses. In this study,... G.L. Wilson, D.J. Mulla, J. Galzki, A. Laacouri, J. Vetsch |
5. 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.

6. Cyberinfrastructure for Machine Learning Applications in Agriculture: Experiences, Analysis, and VisionAdvancements in machine learning algorithms and GPU computational speeds over the last decade have led to remarkable progress in the capabilities of machine learning. This progress has been so much that, in many domains, including agriculture, access to sufficiently diverse and high-quality datasets has become a limiting factor. While many agricultural use cases appear feasible with current compute resources and machine learning algorithms, the lack of software infrastructure for collecting,... L. Waltz, S. Khanal, S.

7. Crop and Water Monitoring Networks with Low-cost, Internet of Things TechnologyMaking meaningful changes in agroecosystems often requires the ability to monitor many environmental parameters to accurately identify potential areas for improvement in water quality and crop production. Increasingly, research questions are requiring larger and larger monitoring networks to draw applicable insights for both researchers and producers. However, acquiring enough sensors to address a particular research question is often cost-prohibitive, making it harder to draw meaningful conclusions... A.J. Brown, E. Deleon, E. Wardle |
8. Development of Automated Rose Monitoring System with Deep Learning-based Growth Stage ClassificationIn cut-flower cultivation, effective production planning is essential to accommodate seasonal fluctuations in market demand. Precise rose growth stage monitoring is critical for cultivation schedule, environmental control, and harvest timing, yet current practices rely on manual observations, which are time-consuming and prone to subjectivity, limiting consistency and scalability. This study presents an automated monitoring system integrating computer vision and deep learning for objective... S. Chen |
