Dicotyledon Weed Quantification Algorithm for Selective Herbicide Application in Maize Crops [Professional]

Paper Introduction The stricter legislation within the European Union for the regulation of herbicides that are prone to leaching causes a greater economic burden on the agricultural industry through taxation. Owing to the increased economic burden, research in reducing herbicide usage has been prompted. High-resolution images from digital cameras support the studying of plant characteristics…. read more »

Variable Rate Pivot Irrigation Systems [Professional]

Introduction With Precision Variable Rate Irrigation growers can record crop yields and make significant irrigation water savings. The need for uniform and accurate water delivery to the crop throughout its lifecycle is essential to maximizing yield and maintaining the health of the plant. Water is saved through matching irrigation rate to soil characteristics and avoiding… read more »

Variable Rate Manure and Slurry Application [Student]

Introduction In intensive agricultural livestock production manure prevails regularly as a waste problem rather than an organic fertilizer and valuable source of nutrients. The advantages of a fully developed variable rate slurry spreader technology cannot be overemphasized.[1] Such systems can give much more accurate results with as-applied verification, while reducing commercial fertilizer inputs and providing… read more »

Variable Rate Fertilization [Professional]

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 »

Variable Rate Sprayers [Farmer]

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 »

Variable Rate Seeding-Planting [Farmer]

Introduction A Variable Rate Seeder is a seeder that has the ability to apply different seeding rates according to prescription map. The VR Seeder incorporates with positioning systems, for prescription map based application, in order to increase or decrease the seeding rate through automatic control of seeding discs, achieving yield increase by planting the exact… read more »
