1. Can Management Zones Be Useful in Guiding Mechanized Peanut Harvesting?

Mechanized peanut harvesting presents challenges due to the crop’s indeterminate growth habit, which results in non-uniform maturation across the field; the ideal harvest point is reached when the maturity index exceeds 0.7. Consequently, analyzing the spatial variability of maturation is essential for identifying homogeneous areas and guiding harvest at the optimal time. In this context, Management Zones (MZs), as a Precision Agriculture tool, enable the subdivision of fields into more... A. Andrade Da Silva, T.C. Moura Oliveira, E. Sales, S. Luns, E.M. Perussi, R.H.
