1. Hyperspectral Imaging to Measure Pasture Nutrient Concentration and Other Quality ParametersManaging pasture nutrient requirements on large hill country sheep and beef properties based on information from soil sampling is expensive because of the time and labor involved. High levels of error are also expected as these properties are often greatly variable and it is therefore extremely difficult to sample intensively enough to capture this variation. Extensive sampling was also not considered viable as there was no effective means of spreading fertilizer with a variable rate capability... I.J. Yule, R.R. Pullanagari, G. Kereszturi, M.E.

2. Laser- Induced Enhancement of Seed Germination and Early Growth in LegumesLaser technologies are emerging as promising tools in precision agriculture for enhancing plant development and productivity. This study investigates the effects of low- power laser irradiation (532 nm, 1W) on the seed germination and early growth of mung beans (Vigna radiata). Seeds were exposed to laser light prior to planting, and their germination performance, leaf expansion, chlorophyll content, and shoot length were measured and compared to untreated control seeds. The laser-treated seeds... C. Ding |
