1. The Daily Erosion Project - High Resolution, Daily Estimates of Runoff, Detachment, Erosion, and Soil MoistureRunoff and sediment transport from agricultural uplands are substantial threats to water quality and sustained crop production. Farmers, conservationists, and policy makers must understand how landforms, soil types, farming practices, and rainfall affect soil erosion and runoff in order to improve management of soil and water resources. A system was designed and implemented a decade ago to inventory precipitation, runoff, and soil erosion across the state of Iowa, United States. That system utilized... B.K. Gelder, R. Cruse, D.

2. An Active Thermography Method for Immature Citrus Fruit DetectionFast and accurate methods of immature citrus fruit detection are critical to building early yield mapping systems. Previously, machine vision methods based on color images were used in many studies for citrus fruit detection. Despite the high resolutions of most color images, problems such as the color similarity between fruit and leaves, and various illumination conditions prevented those studies from achieving high accuracies. This project explored a novel method for immature citrus fruit detection... H. Gan, W.S. Lee, V. Alchanatis, A. Abd-elrahman |
3. Estimating Litchi Canopy Nitrogen Content Using Simulated Multispectral Remote Sensing DataThis study aims at evaluating the performance of seven highly spatial resolution remote sensing data in litchi canopy nitrogen content estimation. The litchi canopy reflectance were collected by ASD field spectrometer. Then the canopy spectral data were resampled based on the spectral response functions of each satellite sensors (Geo-eye, GF-WFV1, Rapid-eye, WV-2, Landsat 8, WV-3, and Sentinel-2). The spectral indices in literature were derived based on the simulated data. Meanwhile, the successive... D. Li, H. Jiang, S. Chen, C. Wang |
4. Yield Mapping in Fruit FarmingDue to the importance of increasing the quantity and quality of world agricultural production, the use of technologies to assist in production processes is essential. Despite this, a timid adoption by precision agriculture (PA) technologies is verified by the Brazilian fruit producers, even though it is one of the segments that had been stood out in recent years in the country's economy. In the PA context, yield maps are rich sources of information, especially by species harvested through... C.L. Bazzi, M.R. Martins, L. Gebler, E.G. Souza, K. Schenatto, R. Sobjak, A. . Hachisuca, F.

5. Organ Scale Nitrogen Map: a Novel Approach for Leaf Nitrogen Concentration EstimationCrop nitrogen trait estimations have been used for decades in the frame of precision agriculture and phenotyping researches. They are crucial information towards a sustainable agriculture and efficient use of resources. Remote sensing approaches are currently accurate tools for nitrogen trait estimations. They are usually quantified through a parametric regression between remote sensing data and the ground truth. For instance, chlorophyll or nitrogen concentration are accurately estimated using... A.

6. Soil Microbial Biomass and Bacterial Diversity Enhanced Through Winter Cover Cropping in Paddy FieldsRice production is typically based on input-intensive and often environmentally unsustainable monoculture system. Alternatives are increasing, such as fallow cover cropping and rice–fish coculture (RFC). However, options of fallow cover cropping in RFC are scarcely explored, and the soil microbial response strategies to cover cropping remain unclear. Here, we evaluated soil-plant-microbe interactions under three cover cropping systems: Chinese milk vetch single cropping (CM), rapeseed single... S. Cai, S. Xu, D. Zhang, H. Zhu, L. Longchamps |
7. Enhancing Nutrient-related Stress Detection: High Throughput Phenotyping and Image Analysis for Improved PrecisionIn the 21-century agriculture has the unique responsibility to provide food, fuel, fiber and feed for the growing population under the stress of climate change and diminishing natural resources. A feat that will take considerable change to the sustainability of such practices. One of which is the idea of assessing phenotypic expression of complex traits in response to environmental factors. This idea elevates the use of phenotyping to quantitatively monitor stress manifestation. Therefore,... K.J. Bathke, Y. Ge, S.D. Choudhury, J.D. Luck |
