Over the past four decades dietary needs of global population have been elevated, with increased consumption animal products predominately due to advancing economies South America and Asia. As a result, livestock production systems expanded in size, considerable changes animals’ management. grazing animals are commonly grown herds, economic labour constraints limit ability producer individually...

Precision farming is a modern direction of agricultural development, which opens new opportunities to increase the productivity each land by taking into account its specific features. Its implementation requires an assessment spatial heterogeneity soils and vegetation. This ensures timely application adequate measures in those places that need it.
 In this work, ways solving problems preci...

A number of case studies are used to demonstrate the financial viability of precision farming methods for intensively managed pastures. Precision farming has sometimes been criticized as being technology-led where the management goals and desired outcomes are sometimes poorly defined. Case studies presented in this paper demonstrate a strong management approach where appropriate technologies ar...

The complexity of operating a farm combine has increased dramatically in recent years with the introduction of features including automatic guidance, precision farming, and sophisticated implements with specialized controls. In this work, we describe the development of a virtual reality interface for use in operating a combine while harvesting virtual crops. Using the actual combine cab hardwar...

Although the advancement in sensor technology made inch-by-inch monitoring of agricultural field achievable but precision farming requires monitoring of several context attributes with context modeling to cope up with several distinct problems. Ontology is considered as most promising technique for context modeling. Despite several efforts towards developing agricultural domain ontology, lack o...

Precision Agriculture approach has proved to be successful in various agricultural subbranches like precision livestock farming, precision farming, precision horticulture and precision viticulture. Apiculture or beekeeping is one of the agriculture’s sub directions, where Precision Agriculture (PA) methods can be successfully applied. Adaptation of PA methods and techniques into Apiculture, as ...

Georeferenzierte Mähdrescher-Ertragsdaten sind aus vielen Gründen fehlerhaft. Das Programm YieldSweeper vereinigt mehrere Ansätze zur automatischen Nachbearbeitung dieser Daten. Am Beispiel von Korrelationen zwischen einem Luftbild und den Ertragsdaten werden die Auswirkungen einzelner Korrekturschritte verglichen.

Background: The EU-project Flourish intends to establish an autonomously operating precision farming system based on the interaction between unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). For effective mission planning and site-specific ground intervention by the UGV, the growth, mineral nutrition, weed, and health status of the crop field must be evaluated efficiently. In...

Correlations between environmental parameters (thermal range and noxious gas levels) and the status (productivity, physiological, and behavioral) of growing pigs were examined for the benefit of pig welfare and precision farming. The livestock experiment was conducted at a Seoul National University station in South Korea. Many variations were applied and the physiological and behavioral respons...
