1. Monitoring Corn (Zea mays) Yield using Sentinel-2 and Machine Learning for Precision Agriculture ApplicationsCurrently, there is a growing demand to apply precision agriculture (PA) management practices at agricultural fields expecting more efficient and more profitable management. One of PA principal components for site-specific management is crop yield monitoring which varies temporally between seasons and spatially within-field. In this study, we investigated the possibility of monitoring within-field variability of corn grain yield in a 22ha field located in Ferarra, North Italy. Archived yield data... A. Kayad, M.

2. Small Machinery for Sustainable Intensification of Crop-Livestock System under Biomass ShortageSmall crop-livestock systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) such as North African ones are characterized by low mechanization levels, thus undermining their productivity and sustainability. Machinery being promoted in local markets are made and imported mostly from industrial countries where farm systems are larger in terms of size. Prices of these machines are not affordable for small to medium sized land-holding farmers who remain incapable of upgrading and modernizing their farming... U. Rudiger, Z. Aidoudi, A. Frija, M.

3. LiDAR-based soybean crop segmentation for autonomous navigationThe technological advances in the last few decades have greatly changed agricultural operations. In order to became safer, more profitable, efficient, and sustainable, modern farms have adopted the use of sophisticated technologies, such as robots, sensors, aerial images, and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). These technologies not only increase the crop productivity, but also reduce the wide use of water, fertilisers, and pesticides. Due to this, they reduce costs and negative environmental... V.A.

4. Predicting in-Season Sorghum yield potential using Remote Sensing Approach: a case study of Kano in Sudan Savannah agro- ecological zone, NigeriaThe preliminary estimation of expected yields and the accuracy of this evaluation provide information for decision-making related to the harvest. Estimating crop yield using remote sensing techniques has proven to be successful, having the ability to provide yield estimates prior to harvest. This study was conducted to examine the applicability of Sentinel-2B for estimating sorghum yield during the 2018 rainy season in Bebeji, Dawakin-Kudu and Rano Local Government Areas Kano State, in the Sudan...

5. A Multi-scale Evaluation of Precision Weed Control Strategies in Corn Fields with Drone TechnologyCorn (Zea mays L.) is a worldwide priority crop, whose potential yields are closely affected by weed competence, especially in the early stages of crop development. A major concern in corn-growing areas is the occurrence of Sorghum halepense L., as this weed shows reduced sensitivity to pre-emergence herbicides and, therefore, it is necessary to use post-emergence treatments that entail an increase in cost. This research studied the impact of applying a precision weed (S.... J. Peña, A. De castro |
