AgroNIT: Innovating Precision Agriculture
(2022)Major global concerns considering food production include, not only meeting the increasing food demand but also meeting challenges that put significantly less strain on the environment, safeguard food quality and prevent ... -
A Comparison between Variable Deficit Irrigation and Farmers’ Irrigation Practices under Three Fertilization Levels in Cotton Yield (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Using Precision Agriculture, Remote Sensing, Soil Analyses, and Crop Growth Modeling
(2022)The major global challenge for the coming decades will be increasing crop production with less water consumption. Precision agriculture (PA) and variable deficit irrigation (VDI) are management strategies that help farmers ... -
Farm management information system for fruit orchards
(2015)Fruticulture faces increasing market pressures that threaten its long-term viability. In the light of the real need to practically improve the environmental performance, to increase yield and to optimize product quality ... -
Farm management information systems: Current situation and future perspectives
(2015)Farm Management Information Systems (FMIS) in agriculture have evolved from simple farm record-keeping into sophisticated and complex systems to support production management. The purpose of current FMIS is to meet the ... -
A five-point penetrometer with GPS for measuring soil compaction variability
(2013)Measuring soil compaction is a factor of interest to monitor soil fertility, which plays an important role in crop production cycle. Soil penetration resistance is the most commonly used method to measure soil compaction. ... -
Importance of measuring tillage implement forces for reduced fuel consumption and increased efficiency without affecting tillage depth
(2015)Tillage and especially ploughing is the most energy and cost demanding field operation. The cost of tillage operations in arable farming sometimes exceeds 50% of the total fuel costs for completing all field operations ... -
Precision agriculture applications in horticultural crops in greece and worldwide
(2011)Precision agriculture is the management of spatial and temporal variability of the fields using ICT. The application in horticultural crops was developed in the last ten years. Data are collected from different sources ... -
Precision agriculture: Crop management for improved productivity and reduced environmental impact or improved sustainability
(2015)This chapter gives an account on the application of precision agriculture (PA) over the last 25 years, on the methods used, the results obtained, the adoption of the technology and the effects to crop management, to the ... -
Procedures and Benefits of an Integrated Soil Mapping System for Directed Soil Sampling
(2022)There is an increasing need for the development of information systems that can optimize field management by leveraging the information obtained from the huge volume of data related to spatial variation within agricultural ... -
Rainfed cultivation with supplemental irrigation modelling on seed yield and oil of Coriandrum sativum L. using precision agriculture and GIS moisture mapping
(2021)The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of rainfed and supplemental irrigation, and sowing period (SP) treatments on coriander (Coriandrum sativum L) yield, essential oil content and umbel heights by ... -
Remote sensing for crop water stress detection in greenhouses
(2015)Irrigation management is considered as one of the most important cultivation techniques which can lead to production of high quality products through efficient use of water and nutrients. The temperature of the crop has ... -
Remotely Sensed Methodologies for Crop Water Availability and Requirements in Precision Farming of Vulnerable Agriculture
(2019)Agriculture is mainly impacted by water availability. Differences in climate conditions and the appearance of severe events, like droughts, has a significant imprint on local, regional and global agricultural productivity. ... -
Spatial and temporal variability of yield and fruit quality in apples
(2010)The objective of this work was to study the spatial and temporal variability of yield and fruit quality in an apple (Malus × domestica) orchard for three consecutive years. The orchard was located in Ptolemaida area, ... -
Use of NDVI to predict yield variability in a commercial apple orchard
(2015)Apple orchards are a vital component of the economies of many countries worldwide. Producers are looking for ways to reduce production cost by reducing inputs. Apple yield prediction is one method which can help the farmers ... -
Wireless sensor network for precision agriculture
(2011)Sensors are very useful in agriculture. Irregular or insufficient rainfall can be a serious limitation to the final yield, causing low yields and even crop failure. Moreover the total amount of water cannot be assessed ...
