This paper explains the microcontroller based fuzzy controller for an agricultural robot which can be used to plough the field, seeding and soil moisture sensing. By using the agricultural robots in field which can be used to reduce manpower and can be operated using remote controls from a distant place. In this paper , an agricultural robot is designed with an internet based remote control by ...

Sample Courses and Course Materials in Agricultural Economics Supported in part by the National Science Foundation, the DLESE offers access to electronic materials in all aspects of earth science education, including agricultural economics, for both teachers and learners at all levels. Has searchable database with such materials as maps, images, online courses, field and lab activities, curricu...

Information on the effect of open-field burning of agricultural residues on ambient black carbon (BC) mass and size-resolved particle number concentrations is scarce. In this study, to understand the effect of such open-field burning on short-term air quality, real-time variations of the BC mass and size-resolved particle number concentrations were monitored before and during a corn straw open-...

This paper presents field-based classifications performed using the multi-resolution images of SPOT4 XS, SPOT5 XS, IKONOS XS, QuickBird XS, and QuickBird Pansharpaned (PS) covering an agricultural area located in Karacabey, Turkey. The objective was to assess the classification accuracies of different spatial resolution images in an agricultural land using the field-based classification techniq...

This work introduces a workflow to retrieve agricultural field border lines from remote sensing images in a fully automatic manner. The methodology builds upon the joint usage of optical and SAR images and is composed of three main processing blocks: (1) Pre-processing of image data including a geometric adjustment of the optical images w.r.t. the highly accurate SAR data, (2) Field border line...

The present status of education and training in agricultural meteorology is reviewed in relation to the agreed objectives of this interdisciplinary science. The major educational contribution of the agronomy faculties to the educational and research effort is acknowledged. The significant part played by the World Meteorological Organization Regional Meteorological Training Centres in the traini...

Birds are an important part of the agricultural landscape, as having nature value, but also as pest control agents and bio-indicators for the health of the environment. Here we look at linear non-crop elements in agricultural areas as a potential source of food for nestlings of avian species. We measured invertebrate availability as it relates to structural complexity at the local and landscape...
