1. Application of RS, GPS & GIS in a National Monitoring System for Accurate Range AssessmentSustainable use of rangelands requires information on vegetation cover and its changes through time, condition trend and the effect of climate as well as management practices. The main objective of this research was showing variation of vegetation parameters,... H.P. Arzani, M.S. Azimi, S.D. kaboli, H.M. mirdavodi, M.M. Borhani, J.M. Abdollahi, M.D. farahpour |
2. Using UAV Imagery for Crop AnalyticsUAV imagery was collected in April and July of 2017 over a grape vineyard in California’s San Joaquin Valley. Using spectral signatures, a landcover classification was performed to isolate table grapes from the background vegetation and soil. A novel vegetation index was developed based off the unique spectral characteristics of the yellowing effects of chlorosis within the table grape vines. Spatial statistics were run only on the pixels containing grape plants, and a relative vegetation... C. Adams, A. Coates |
3. Use of Field Diagnostic Tools for Top Dressing Nitrogen Recommendation When Organic Manures Are Applied in Humid Mediterranean ConditionsNitrogen is often applied in excessive quantities, causing nitrogen losses. In recent years, the management of large quantities of manure and slurry compounds has become a challenge. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of the proxy tools Yara N-testerTMand RapidScan CS-45 for diagnosing the N nutritional status of wheat crops when farmyard manures were applied. Our second objective was to start designing a N fertilization strategy based on these measurements. To achieve these objectives,... A. Castellón, A. Aizpurua, M. Aranguren |
4. 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. Cerliani, F. Scaramuzza, M. Bongiovanni, J. Gonzalez, M. Balzarini, H. Videla, S. Amin, G. Esposito |
