1. Response and Positioning Accuracy of a Variable-Rate Aerial Application System and Use of Enhanced Imagery for Creation of Prescription MapsExperiments were conducted to evaluate a variable rate aerial application system in the field, and experiences with iterative system improvement are outlined. Spray cards placed in the field determined application accuracy, and system... Y. Huang, S.J. Thomson |
2. Current Status and Future Directions of Precision Aerial Application For Site-Specific Crop Management In The USAPrecision agriculture includes different technologies that allow agricultural professional to use information management tools to optimize agriculture production. The new technologies allow aerial application applicators to improve application accuracy and efficiency, which saves time and money for the farmer and the pilot. The USDA-ARS-Aerial Application Technology group has an active research component in precisi... W.C. Hoffmann, Y. Lan |
3. Ultra-low Altitude and Low Spraying Technology Research in PaddyAerial application has characteristics of low-volume, small droplet, and possibility of drift. To control rice planthopper, leaf roller and blast, the research aimed at screening agrichemicals and determining the feasibility of using high concentration of conventional dosage for aerial application. The results showed that... Y. Lan, X. Xue |
4. Ground-Based Spectral Reflectance Measurements for Evaluating the Efficacy of Aerially-Applied Glyphosate TreatmentsAerial application of herbicides is a common tool in agricultural field management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of glyphosate herbicide applied aerially with both conventional and emerging aerial nozzle technologies. A Texas A&M University Plantation weed field wa... Y. Lan, H. Zhang |
5. Differentiation of Cotton from Other Crops at Different Growth Stages Using Spectral Properties and Discriminant AnalysisTimely detection and remediation of volunteer cotton plants in both cultivated and non-cultivated habitats is critical for completing boll weevil eradication in Central and South Texas. However, timely detection of cotton p... H. Zhang, Y. Lan |
6. Development of a PWM Precision Spraying ControllerThis paper presents a new p... Y. Lan, H. Zhu |
7. Sampling Size Study for Canopy Spectral Reflectance Measurements... K. Pavuluri, T. Wade |

9. Survey of Pesticide Application Practices and Technologies in Georgia Agricultural CropsGeorgia is a leading producer of numerous crops including cotton, peanut, blueberries, pecans, bell peppers, cabbage, watermelons, and peaches in the United States. Pesticide applications are critical for the successful production of these crops. Pesticide regulations and application technologies are changing rapidly due to growing concerns around off-target movement and increased focus on improving the efficiency and efficacy of pesticide applications. In order to provide suitable ... S.S. Virk, E.P. Prostko |
10. Precision Agriculture Education in Africa: Perceptions, Opportunities and Challenges, and the Way ForwardPrecision Agriculture is critical for accelerated transformation of the agrifood systems in Africa for shared prosperity and enhanced livelihoods. The paper presents an overview of the perceptions of faculty, undergraduate and postgraduate students from Ghanaian universities about PA education, and its opportunities and challenges. The study involves a case study of two public universities, the University of Cape Coast and the Technical University of Cape Coast, respectively a and a desk revi... K.A. Frimpong |
11. Overcoming Educational Barriers for Precision Agriculture Adoption: a University Diploma in Precision Agriculture in ArgentinaThe lack of educational programs in Precision Agriculture (PA) has been reported as one of the barriers for adoption. Our goal was to improve professional competence in PA through education in crop variability, management, and effective practices of PA in real cases. In the last 20 years different efforts has been made in Argentina to increase adoption of PA. The Universidad Nacional de Rio Cuarto (UNRC) launched in 2021 the first University Diploma in PA, a 9-month program to train agronomis... G. Balboa, A. Degioanni, R. Bongiovanni, R. Melchiori, C. Cerliani, F. Scaramuzza, M. Bongiovanni, J. Gonzalez, M. Balzarini, H. Videla, S. Amin, G. Esposito |
12. Teaching Mathematics Towards Precision Agriculture Through Data Analysis and ModelsPrecision agriculture is used in a wide variety of field operations and agricultural practices that affect our daily lives. Many fields of agriculture are increasingly adopting equipment automation, robotics, and machine learning techniques. These all lead to recognize that data collection and exploitation is a valuable tool assisting in real-time farming and livestock decisions. Thus, the immediate need to empower students in Agriculture Sciences with mathematical tools using data analysis i... R. Sviercoski |
