1. Development and Field Validation of a Scalable UAV-Based Framework for Automated Cattle Counting and Herd Management in Extensive Production SystemsBrazil holds the largest commercial cattle herd in the world, with more than 230 million head, representing approximately 20% of the global population. In this context, technologies capable of optimizing herd monitoring are strategic for increasing production efficiency, reducing operational costs, and promoting sustainability in livestock systems. Among these technologies, computer vision–based systems have emerged as a promising alternative for automated animal detection and counting in... F. H. S. Sousa , T. S. Maciel, M. M. Dos Reis, R.D.

2. Embrapii: What Can We Learn About Precision Agriculture and Environmental Sustainability After Investments of US$100 Million+ in Agricultural Industrial Innovation in Brazil?Innovation policies have increasingly targeted digital and sustainable transformation, yet systematic assessments of large-scale public-private investments in precision agriculture innovation remain scarce, particularly in tropical contexts. This article analyzes the experience of Embrapii (Brazilian Agency for Research and Industrial Innovation) after fostering more than US$100 million in investments in over 600 research, development, and innovation (RD&I) projects applied to agriculture...

3. Guiding Spot Sprayer Decisions: Toward Species-Selective Weed ControlSite-specific weed management is a key approach in precision crop protection, enabling spatially targeted herbicide application based on within-field variability in weed distribution. However, most operational spot-spraying systems rely on uniform nozzle activation rules, implicitly treating all detected weeds equally despite differences in competitive ability and ecological function. This limits the potential of precision systems to exploit species-level differentiation in practice. This... M. Gentili, M.S. Madsen, V.A. Nichols, R.N. Jørgensen, J.R. Jørgensen, |
