Detecting Disease Earlier: The Importance of the Red Edge Band
A sensor without the red edge band may still enable the detection of stress and disease, but it may be after there is a chance to recover yield potential which would result in a reduction of profit per acre.
Agriculture Equipment Market Revenue Will Reach $279.5 Billion By 2024
In 2016, Tractor market generated the highest revenue share in the global agriculture equipment market. Among major segments, North American agriculture equipment market was the highest revenue generating market valued at $46.1 billion in 2016.
Uncovering Spectral Signatures in a Pecan Orchard
Multispectral cameras capture spectral signatures much like a thermometer measures the temperature of the human body. Changes in plant reflectance indicate stress, but additional information is required to identify the cause.
Farm Credit Foundation for Agricultural Advancement Announces Scholarship Recipients
The Farm Credit Foundation for Agricultural Advancement has announced the ten students who will be awarded $10,000 to pursue their agricultural studies.
3 Trends that Defined Agriculture in 2017 and 3 to Watch
Last year recorded groundbreaking technological advances in agriculture, even as the ag giants focused on consolidation. In looking back over the trends that shaped 2017, we can locate the signs pointing to the big stories we anticipate this year.
Is a Smart Irrigation Controller Worth The Money?
The first step is to determine what it is youre looking to get from your irrigation system. For example, if zoned irrigation or rain sensors arent important to you, the cost of a smart sprinkler system may not be worth it in the long run.
A Simple Solution: Luxul Provides Outdoor Wi-Fi Coverage for Washington's Bethany Vineyard and Winery
Bethany Vineyard required a wireless access point that delivered excellent coverage, weather resistance, and simple installation.
Using Windmills to Deliver Water
A typical windmill with 8 diameter wheel can lift water 185 feet and pump about 150 gallons an hour in 15 to 20 mph winds when using a 1 ¾ "pump cylinder.
Satellite-based Data for Precision Farming Applications
The low cost of our data acquisition, coupled with our ability to task our own satellites and process data on-board allow us to bring data to problems that are outside of the possibilities for current satellites, aerial imaging and drones
9 Tips to Improve Drone Flight Time
As far as drones have evolved over the years, many consumer models still feature a max flight time of around 20 minutes. Some offer as little as five minutes. This fallback can be annoying to those wanting to fly longer than a third of an hour
Agriculture Impacts Weather: The Case For Connected Ecosystems
When viewing the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles and southwest Kansas in Google Earth, you can see areas of green interspersed with predominantly brown tones. Zooming into any of these areas, you quickly discover that the majority of these green pixels are irrigated fields
Mapping Potassium Deficiency: Table Grapes in the San Joaquin Valley
Growers know their crop and the pitfalls that diminish yield quality and quantity. Walking the field garners valuable information, but not all problems are visible to the naked eye, especially during early stages of a pest infestation, disease onset, or nutrient deficiency.
Using NDVI to Validate Fungicide Treatments in Barley
In this study, calibrated NDVI values showed a strong correlation with the level of disease visually scouted by researchers in the field. In fact, the NDVI map was able to successfully indicate differences in barley yield between the treatments.
Danish "Robot Hands" Pack Delicate Herbs
The two "fingers" of the robot gripper have built-in intelligence and advanced technology that mimics the way humans instinctively use our sense of touch when we grab things to move them.
Cargill brings facial recognition capability to farmers through strategic equity investment in Cainthus
