This study was conducted to develop a software program which computes optimal path for autonomous navigation in orchard, especially for speed sprayer. Possibilities of autonomous navigation in orchard were shown by other researches which have minimized distance error between planned path and performed path. But, research of planning an optimal path for speed sprayer in orchard is hardly founded...

In 1989, identical crosses (2-3 females within males) were performed with Picea abies (L.) Karst. in a greenhouse seed orchard at Biri nursery and in an outdoor seed orchard at Huse, 32 km north of Biri. Pollination began 17 days earlier in the greenhouse than outdoors at Huse. The potted grafts in the greenhouse were moved outdoors when the seed cones were no longer receptive. Twelve full-sib ...

One of the challenges in future food production, amidst increasing population and decreasing resources, is developing a sustainable production system. It anticipated that robotics will play significant role maintaining system, specifically labor-intensive operations. Therefore, main goal this project to develop robotic fruit harvesting initially focused on apples. The system composed six-degree...

Evapotranspiration (ETc) partitioning and obtaining of FAO56 dual crop coefficient (Kc) for olive was carried out with the SIMDualKc software application for root zone and topsoil soil water balance based on the dual crop coefficients. A simplified two source-energy balance model (STSEB), based on daily remotely sensed soil and canopy thermal infrared data and retrieval of surface fluxes, also ...

Almond (Prunus amygdalus) orchard systems are highly productive and widespread in Mediterranean climates dominate the California agricultural landscape. However, current intensive monocultural bare soil production practices limit potential to support nonproduction functions (i.e., multifunctionality) long-term sustainability of system (Aizen et al. 2019; Fenster 2021). Managing orchards ...

Let G be an abstract graph. Motivated by the Orchard relation, introduced in [3, 4], we have defined the Orchard crossing number of G [5], in a similar way to the well-known rectilinear crossing number of an abstract graph G (denoted by cr(G), see [1, 8]). A general reference for crossing numbers can be [6]. The Orchard crossing number is interesting for several reasons. First, it is based on t...
