Most of the agricultural applications for drones - or, more technically unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) - have been on grain crops like wheat, corn and soy. “Adoption and use of crop sensors in production agriculture saves thousands of dollars every year in many crops,” says Walsh. “Crop ...
The latest release of Delta-T Devices’ DeltaLINK Software (v3.7), in combination with its GP2 Data Logger and relevant sensors, enables the full ASCE/FAO-56 Penman-Monteith equation for calculating reference evapotranspiration (ETo). ...
Availability of near real-time crop health data is accomplished by flying a commercially available drone fitted with a crop health sensor over a field, capturing meaningful plant data, and then reviewing the output at the field edge — within minutes of the drone landing. Drones today are extremely easy to use. And, with fully integrated ...
Ag Drones The Sentera exhibit, located at booth 27, will feature critical crop health management drones, sensors, and AgVault™ 2.0 software. Featured aircraft include the Phantom 4 and Phantom 3 drones with normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) upgrades as well as the company’s latest fixed-wing drone, the Phoenix 2. State-of-the-Art ...
If this is combined in a smart way with currently available and site-specific sensor data on soils and crops, precision farming will become possible in practice. Version 2.0 concentrates on sensor data, models, ICT and mechanisation, combining these components to create effective and sustainable applications. ...
A proportion of the research will help to further develop the existing ISRIA precision input system developed by German company, Fritzmeier Umwelttechnik; an intelligent tractor-mounted crop sensor for the variable application of nitrogen fertilizer. The project will span some three years and will develop automated systems to measure fertiliser requirements for ...
Flow4 Sap Flow Logger - Irrigation Control from Dynamax Inc (281-564-5100), is a stand-alone water balance measurement system for irrigation automation based on plant transpiration. Four Dynagage sap flow sensors read crop water consumption. These measurements are compared to rainfall, soil moisture and irrigation water supplied. ...
Nitrogen fertilizer is usually applied in greater quantities to corn than almost any other crop. But when it’s applied in excess of requirements, loss of the excess fertilizer to the environment can contribute to degraded water quality. ...
The use of on-the-go crop and soil sensors has greatly increased the precision with which farmers can manage their crops. ...
