1. Predicting Winter Wheat Biomass And Grain Protein ContentDynamic crop models such as EPIC [1], SALUS [2], and STICS [3] are non-linear models that describe the growth and development of a crop interacting with environmental factors (soil and climate) and agricultural practices (crop species, tillage type, fertilizer amount…). They are developed to predict crop yield and quality or to optimize the farming practices in order to satisfy agricultural objectives, as the reduction of nitrogen lixiviation. More recently, crop...

2. Application Of Hyperspectral Imaging For Rapid And Non-Invasive Quantification Of Quality Of Mulberry FruitThis study investigated the potential of using hyperspectral imaging working in visible and short-wave near infrared region (380-1030 nm) for rapid and non-invasive determination of the total flavonoid in mulberry fruit. Mulberry fruit with its sweet flavor is widely used in jam, pies, tarts, wines, and liquor, and is a delicacy among humans and birds alike. The quality evaluation of mulberry is usually determined by chemical or sensory analysis. However these methods are not ca... L. Huang, H. Jin, Y. He, F. Liu, Y. Zhou |
3. A Novel Hyperspectral Feature Extraction Algorithm Based On Waveform Resolving For Raisin ClassificationNear infrared hyperspectral imaging technology was adopted in the paper to determine the variety of raisins produced in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. There are 2 varieties of raisins taking part in the research and the wavelengths of the hyperspectral images are from 900nm to 1700nm. A novel waveform resolving method was proposed in the paper to reduce the hyperspectral data and extract features. The waveform resolving method compresses the original hyperspectral data for one ...

4. SMARTfarm Learning Hub: Next Generation Precision Agriculture Technologies for Agricultural EducationThe industry demands on higher education agricultural students are rapidly changing. New precision agriculture technologies are revolutionizing the farming industry but the education sector is failing to keep pace. This paper reports on the development of a key resource, the SMARTfarm Learning Hub (www.smartfarmhub.com) that will increase the skill base of higher education students using a range of new agricultural technologies and innovations. The Hub is a world first; it links real industry... M. Trotter, S. Gregory, T. Trotter, T. Acuna, D. Swain, W. Fasso, J. Roberts, A. Zikan, A. Cosby |
5. Precision Farming Basics Manual - a Comprehensive Updated Textbook for Teaching and Extension EffortsToday precision agricultural technologies are limited by the lack of a workforce that is technology literate, creative, innovative, fully trained in their discipline, able to utilize and interpret information gained from information-age technologies to make smart management decisions, and have the capacity to convert locally collected information into practical solutions. As part of a grant entitled Precision Farming Workforce Development: Standards, Working Groups, and Experimental Lea... K. Shannon |
6. A Content Review of Precision Agriculture Courses Across the USKnowledge of what precision agriculture (PA) content is currently taught across the United States will help build a better understanding for what PA instructors should incorporate into their classes in the future. The University of Missouri partnered with several universities throughout the nation on a USDA challenge grant. Precision Agriculture faculty from 24 colleges/universities from across the U.S. shared their PA content by sharing their syllabi from 43 different courses. The syllabi we... D. Skouby, L.

7. Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Needed in the Precision Ag Workforce: an Industry SurveyPrecision agriculture encompasses a set of related technologies aimed at better utilization of crop inputs, increasing yield and quality, reducing risks, and enabling information flow throughout the crop supply and end-use chains. The most widely adopted precision practices have been automated systems related to equipment steering and precise input application, such as autoguidance and section controllers. Once installed, these systems are relatively easy for farmers and their sup... B. Erickson, D.E. Clay, S.A. Clay, S. Fausti |
