1. Crop Production and Nutrient Management with Strip-tillage in the Northern Great PlainsConventional tillage is still the dominant tillage practice in the eastern third of South Dakota (USA). Producers are often facing wind and water soil erosion in this part of the state. Strip-tillage can offer an alternative production option that could lower erosion potential between cash crops, while maintaining the yield potential. In addition strip-tillage allows a same-pass nutrient placement. The research objectives are to compare tillage and fertilizer placement methods in a corn (Zea... P. Kovacs, C. Tesch, N. Passone |
2. Application for Pixel-level Segmentation and Quantification of Lignified Fibers (Sclerenchyma) and Parenchyma in Microscopic Images of Sugarcane CulmsQuantifying lignified tissues in sugarcane culms (Saccharum spp.) is essential for anatomical characterizations and for inferences related to biomass quality and the potential uses of plant material. Conventional methods may require specific laboratory procedures and manual steps in digital analysis, increasing processing time and reliance on skilled operators. In this context, computer vision techniques applied to microscopic images constitute an accessible and reproducible alternative,... G.F. Rubio, J.F. Rubio, L.E. Pereira, J.R. Marques, A.R. Tech, M.F.

3. Detection of latrine areas in equine paddocks using drones and computer visionEquines can exhibit behaviors that are harmful to the soil, such as spatial segregation, which is caused by their selective grazing pattern. This species may choose its feeding areas based on vegetation structural characteristics, such as forage density, leaf availability, and stage of maturity (which are perceived through their tactile receptors). When present daily, this natural behavior can impair soil health, as spatial segregation within paddocks intensifies and latrine (dung) areas form.... |
