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 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 »
Introduction Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a satellite navigation system with global coverage that uses satellites to provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning.[1] The satellites provide signals from space that transmit positioning and timing data to GNSS receivers. The receivers then use this data to determine location[2] and also provide navigation or tracking the position of… read more »
Introduction Improved GNSS ground-based augmentation systems can enable cost-effective precision agriculture services to farmers, especially those with small and medium-sized businesses in areas of Europe where EGNOS availability may be poor under certain conditions. In several areas of Eastern and South Europe GPS accuracy is much less than the standard provided by existing augmentation services. This… read more »
Introduction Improved GNSS ground-based augmentation systems can enable cost-effective precision agriculture services to farmers, especially those with small and medium-sized businesses in areas of Europe where EGNOS availability may be poor under certain conditions. This technology offers better accuracy with faster convergence times. Related Project The goal of AUDITOR project is the implementation… read more »

Introduction In the future European farmers will have to effectively manage information on and off their farms to improve economic viability and to reduce environmental impact. All three levels, in which agricultural activities need to be harmonized with economical and environmental constraints, require integrated ICT adoption: improvement of farm efficiency; integration of public goods… read more »

Introduction Effective Real Time Kinematic (RTK) mobile machine control requires a sufficient number of global positioning system (GPS) satellites that are both visible and suitably positioned. Reliably obtaining the highest degree of accuracy and precision afforded by RTK technology requires satellites from multi-national Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).[1] Find out more by watching… read more »
