Agriculture has made an enormous environmental footprint and is making agricultural development risky. Green agriculture uses well developed modern farming and sustainability concepts to improve natural agricultural techniques. It also draws on green technology to enhan...

In this paper, a bioinspired method in the magnetic field memory of the bees, applied in a rover of precision pollination, is presented. The method calculates sharpness features by entropy and variance of the Laplacian of images segmented by color in the HSV system in r...

ABSTRACT The considerable volume of data generated by sensors in the field presents systematic errors; thus, it is extremely important to exclude these errors to ensure mapping quality. The objective of this research was to develop and test a methodology to identify and...

Este estudo foi desenvolvido para identificar, caracterizar e comparar a estrutura da dependência espacial dos micronutrientes boro, cobre, ferro, manganês e zinco solúveis em um Latossolo Vermelho-Escuro sob pivô central após 14 anos de uso intensivo, no sul do Estado ...

This study identified the factors that influenced whether farmers in the Southeastern United States perceived an improvement in environmental quality from adopting precision farming technologies (PFTs). Farmers with larger farms or higher yields were more likely to beli...

New precision agriculture technologies, like GPS, sensors, remote sensing and drones, are transforming farming practices across Canada. These digital technologies can generate vast amounts of diverse and disparate agricultural Big Data about microclimates, yields, soil ...

Agricultural service providers affiliated with the Ontario Agri Business Association (OABA) were surveyed on the extent to which their businesses use precision agricultural technologies for crop inputs purchased by farmers in Ontario. Approximately half of the fertilize...

Sensors, communication systems and geo-reference units are required to achieve an optimized management of agricultural inputs with respect to the economic and environmental aspects of olive groves. In this study, three commercial olive harvesters were tracked during two...
