1. Normalized Difference Vegetative Index For Evaluating Turfgrass Color: A Comparison Of Two Handheld DevicesThe normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI) is a commonly used light reflectance index in agriculture. For turfgrass research, color and herbicide phytotoxicity have historically been subjectively rated by human evaluators. Prior research has related NDVI to creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) (R2 = 0.50) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb) (R2 = 0.80) color, and bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon... J.Q.

2. Crop Water Stress Mapping for Site Specific Irrigation by Thermal Imagery and Artificial Reference SurfacesVariable rate irrigation machines or solid set systems have become technically feasible; however, crop water status mapping is necessary as a blueprint to match irrigation quantities to site-specific crop water demands. Remote thermal sensing can provide these maps in sufficient detail and at a timely delivery. In a set of aerial and ground scans at the Hula Valley, Israel, digital crop water stress maps were generated using geo-referenced high- resolution thermal imagery and artificial reference... M.

3. Development of a Small Tracking Device for Cattle Using IoT TechnologyThe US is the largest producer of beef in the world. Last year alone, it produces nearly 19% of the world’s beef. This translate to about almost $90 billion in economic impact in the country. Aside from being a producer, the US also consumed more than 26 billion pounds of beef which have a retail value of the entire beef industry to more than $74B. For this level of production and consumption, each rancher in the US must produce a herd size of at least 100 or more to sustain the current... J.M. Maja, A.K. Blocker, E.G. Stuckey, S.G. Sell, G.
