1. On-Farm Experimentation and Decision-Support WorkshopThis 3-hour workshop discusses the requirements, methods and theories that may be used to assist in making optimal crop management decisions. The first part will focus on on-farm experimentation (OFE): 1) organization and benefits of OFE; 2) social processes and engagement; 3) designs, data and statistics. The second part will demonstrate how to generate insights applicable at the individual farm level using results from research trials collected in a diversity of contexts. Data sharing, meta... S.

2. Economic Potential of RoboWeedMaps - Use of Deep Learning for Production of Weed Maps and Herbicide Application MapsIn Denmark, a new IPM ‘product chain’ has been constructed, which starts with systematic photographing of fields and ends up with field- or site-specific herbicide application. A special high-speed camera, mounted on an ATV took sufficiently good pictures of small weed plants, while driving up to 50 km/h. Pictures were uploaded to the RoboWeedMaps online platform, where appointed internal- and external persons with agro-botanical experience executed ‘virtual field ... P. Rydahl, O. Boejer, N.

3. Development of a Granular Herbicide Spot Applicator for Management of Hair Fescue (Festuca Filiformis) in Wild Blueberry (Vaccinium Angustifolium)Hair fescue has quickly become the pest of greatest concern for the wild blueberry industry. This is largely due to its ability to outcompete wild blueberry for critical resources including water, nutrients and most importantly space. In Nova Scotia, between 2001 and 2019, hair fescue had increased in field frequency from 7% to 68% and in field uniformity from 1.4% to 25%. This rapidly spreading and economically destructive weed is likewise a significant challenge to manage, with only a s... C. Maceachern, T. Esau, Q. Zaman |
4. Using Prescription Maps for in Field Evaluations of Parameteres Affecting Spraying Accuracy of Self-propelled SprayerWeed presence continues to reemerge year over year, chemical costs continue to increase, and chemical usage continuing to face increasing government oversight, are just a few of the challenges that site-specific weed management intends to address by minimizing wasted application of chemicals and reducing environmental load of active ingredients. Thus, sprayer system manufacturers have developed precision spray systems that allow the individual spray nozzles to be controlled precisely. These s... J. Mayer, P. Flores, J. Stenger |
5. How Digital is Agriculture in South America? Adoption and LimitationsA rapidly growing population in a context of land and water scarcity, and climate change has driven an increase in healthy, nutritious, and affordable food demand while maintaining the current cropping area. Digital agriculture (DA) can contribute solutions to meet the demands in an efficient and sustainable way. South America (SA) is one of the main grain and protein producers in the world but the status of DA in the region is unknown. This article presents the results from a systematic revi... G. Balboa, L.
