1. Spatial Variability of Inceptisol and Entisol Soils and Their Effect on Merlot Grape Must CompositionTechnologies associated to precision agriculture are being used in some crops in Brazil, mainly soybean, wheat, corn and sugarcane. However, information on its use in viticulture is scarce. Thus, a research was carried out during the vegetative cycle of 2010/2011 in a clone 347 Merlot... C. Flores, J. Filippini a., A. Miele |
2. A Fusion Strategy to Map Corn Crop ResiduesAccess to post-harvest residue coverage information is crucial for agricultural management and soil conservation. The purpose of this study was to present a new approach based on an ensemble at the decision level for mapping the corn residue. To this end, a set of Landsat 8 imagery and field data including the Residue Cover Fraction (RCF) of corn (149 samples), were used. Firstly, a map of common spectral indices for RCF modeling was prepared based on the spectral bands. Then, the efficiency of... S. Fathololoumi, M.K. Firozjaei, A. Biswas, P. Daggupati |
3. Yield Monitoring System for Radish and Cabbage Under Korean Field ConditionsYield monitoring is considered an essential tool to optimize resource utilization and provide an accurate assessment of crops for drylands. The objective of this study was to assess mass-based and volume-based yield monitoring under laboratory-simulated and field conditions for cabbage and radish. During the experiment, impact plate angles, conveyor speeds, and falling heights were systematically varied to investigate the effects on cabbage and radish yield during harvesting. Digital filtering... M. Gulandaz, M. Kabir, K. Shafik, S. Chung |
4. Affordable Telematics System for Recording and Monitoring Operational Data in Crop FarmingThe aim of this research was to create an affordable telematics system for agricultural tractors for enhancing existing data logging capabilities. This system enables real-time transmission of operational data from the tractor's CAN bus to a server for storage, monitoring, and further analysis. By leveraging standardized communication protocols like ISO 11783 and J1939, operational data such as fuel consumption and engine load can be easily monitored. The system was built around a Raspberry... A. Lajunen, H. Hovio |
5. Development of an Electric-assisted Handling System for Pig FarmIn swine farming, manure management is a critical yet labor-intensive task. With increasing agricultural labor shortages, optimizing farm infrastructure to reduce manual workload has become essential. Many pig farms in Taiwan utilize elevated slatted floors (concrete or cast iron) to separate pigs from their waste, allowing excrement to fall through gaps for later disposal. While this design improves hygiene by reducing direct contact, the heavy and bulky slatted panels pose significant challenges... W. Chen |
6. Development of an Integrated Harvesting Machine for Taro FieldsTaiwan cultivates a diverse range of agricultural products, among which taro (Colocasia esculenta) is an important root vegetable. Although several harvesters exist for root crops, their applicability remains limited due to crop-specific requirements, and no dedicated integrated harvesting machine is currently available for taro in Taiwan. Farmers still rely heavily on manual labor, using knives or spades to loosen the soil around taro plants before uprooting them individually—a time-consuming... W. Chen |
