1. Applications for Precision Agriculture: the Italian Experience of SIRIUS ProjectThis paper reports the results of the project SIRIUS (Sustainable Irrigation water management and River-basin... P. Nino, S. Vanino, F. Lupia, F. Altobelli, F. Vuolo, I. Namdarian, C. De michele |
2. Determining the Marginal Value of Extra Precision in Precision Grazing Systems – an Ex Ante Analysis of Impacts on System Productivity, Sustainability and EconomicsThe development of precision livestock farming (PLF) technologies for application in grazing systems is rapidly evolving. PLF technologies that facilitate the spatial and temporal management of variability in landscapes, pastures and animals promise to improve the efficiency, profitability and sustainability of livestock farming. However, such technologies as a complete package do not yet exist in grazing systems and the question of impacts at the farm system level remains unresolved. Other potential... K. Behrendt, T. Takahashi, M.S. Rutter |
3. Relationship Between Water Use Efficiency, Daily Stomatal Conductance Trend and Evaporation of Maize and Soybean CropsWater Use Efficiency (WUE) represents the biomass production per unit of water and is commonly affected by temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, and water availability. Plants regulate the water transpiration efficiency through the opening and closing of stomata. Farmers can save water and maintain yield by improving crop's WUE during the period of drought through proper field management. The calculation of WUE requires the information of crop weight and irrigation volume, which is difficult... J. Zhang, N. Chamara, G. Bai, Y. Ge |
