Introduction Applying fertilizer is a common agricultural activity that can be completely automated with the correct implementation of Variable Rate Fertilization (VRF). There are two main categories in which VRT fertilization can be applied: 1) with a map of a certain parameter such as crop vigor and 2) with real time sensors. Map-based VRF adjusts… read more »
Introduction An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a “drone” is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs may be controlled either autonomously by on-board computers or remote control pilot on the ground from distance. Agriculture is one of the main sectors that drones have find numerous uses and have… read more »
Introduction Yield monitor is a device combined with other sensors that calculates and records the crop or grain yield while harvesting machines operate. Yield monitors one of the most widely used commercial products and have been available on the market for more than two decades. A yield monitor is most useful with a Positioning System (GPS)… read more »

Introduction To achieve a more precise, ecological and economical pesticide application process, it is important to focus on crop parameters and field variability instead solely on disease occurrence. In fields with different soil quality, crops and water availability the amount of spray needed varies as well. For example, areas with a reduced cop growth need… read more »

Introduction Accurate soil water content measurements are critical for estimation of energy and water balances, as well as for understanding chemical and biological processes in vadose zone, plant root zones and in groundwater.[1] Soil electrical conductivity is an indirect measurement that correlates very well with several soil physical and chemical properties. Electrical conductivity is the… read more »
