Introduction Herbs have been widely used in food preparation, medicine and cosmetic industry. Knowing which herbs to be used would be very critical in these applications. Nevertheless, the current way of identification and determination of the types of herbs is still being done manually and prone to human error. Designing a convenient and automatic… read more »
EnviroMonitor is a revolution of precision agriculture: it gathers intelligence by measuring, monitoring and managing critical field data related climate, irrigation, and crop production. Add almost any sensor you choose to suit your needs and microclimate. Sensor data is gathered over a secure, self-optimizing, self-healing network. Your farm is unique. You must make decisions based… read more »
Introduction Crop yield determination is a crucial function in planning for food security of the population of a district or even of the whole country. Typical yield predictions are performed using knowledge of historical data on previous yields and weather patterns along with measurements manually taken in the field. These types of traditional methods are… read more »

Introduction Population increase and the improvement of living standards brought about by development will result in a sharp increase in food demand during the next decades. At the same time, water inputs will have to be reduced in response to water scarcity and environmental concerns. Water productivity is projected to increase through gains in… read more »
Introduction Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important mineral nutrients for plant growth, yield and crop quality. Precise timing and rate of N fertilizer application play a major role in plant nutrition. Prediction of N requirements is necessary for efficient utilization of nitrogen fertilizers. Improving the efficiency of N fertilizer utilization reduces the… read more »

The emerging technologies are making the precision agriculture omnipresent and allow potential for enriching it with computer-assisted decision support systems for farm management.[1] Decision Support Systems play an important role in modernize and optimizing production… read more »
Introduction Crops monitoring on large-scale farm is a complex and time-consuming exercise, particularly in warm arid conditions where crops can change drastically in 24 hours. Reducing scouting time is of great importance while providing maps for large areas within hours would be the ultimate goal. With multi-spectral sensors, biomass is monitored accurately helping the… read more »
Introduction Spraying drift occurs when the sprayed droplets of agrochemical stray out of the targeted crop field and result in major environmental pollution, toxicities and soil degradation. At the same time, the crops remain unprotected to insect and weed infestations due to the low volume of active chemicals that remain in the field after… read more »
Introduction Many row crop operations such as tillage, planting, spraying, and spreading require that a tractor and implement make multiple, equal-width parallel swaths through the field. To maximize field efficiency and crop yields, operators must drive accurately to avoid excessive overlaps or gaps in field coverage. Traditionally, visual guidance systems such as mechanical and foam… read more »
