Fruit sizing using AI: A review of methods and challenges
(Elsevier, 2023-09-23)
Fruit size at harvest is an economically important variable for high-quality table fruit production in orchards and vineyards. In addition, knowing the number and size of the fruit on the tree is essential ...
The impact of irrigation on the quality of drainage water in a new irrigation district
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2015-10-28)
La calidad del agua de dos sistemas de drenaje agrícola fue monitorizado en dos temporadas de riego para determinar la sostenibilidad de una zona recientemente transformada de secano a regadío y gestionada ...
Water primrose invasion changes successional pathways in an estuarine ecosystem
(Ecological Society of America, 2018-09-17)
Invasive species fundamentally change the bio-physical and ecological characteristics of the
ecosystems they invade. Rapidly expanding invasive species may facilitate the spread of other invasive ...
On the accuracy of factory-calibrated low-cost soil water content sensors
(MDPI, 2019-07-13)
Soil water content (SWC) monitoring is often used to optimize agricultural irrigation.
Commonly, capacitance sensors are used for this task. However, the factory calibrations have been
often criticized ...
Looking behind occlusions: A study on amodal segmentation for robust on-tree apple fruit size estimation
(Elsevier, 2023-04-21)
The detection and sizing of fruits with computer vision methods is of interest because it provides relevant information to improve the management of orchard farming. However, the presence of partially ...
A proposal of nitrogen balance in a very high density olive orchard
(El Oued University, 2016-05-01)
The nitrogen (N) balance was estimated in a very high density olive orchard in north- east of Spain, in order to calculate the inputs and outputs of N related to tree response and soil nitrogen availability. ...
Post-Harvest Regulated Deficit Irrigation in Chardonnay Did Not Reduce Yield but at Long-Term, It Could Affect Berry Composition
(MDPI, 2019-06-20)
Future increases in temperatures are expected to advance grapevine phenology and
shift ripening to warmer months, leaving a longer post-harvest period with warmer temperatures.
Accumulation of ...
The grape remote sensing atmospheric profile and evapotranspiration experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-10-09)
Particularly in light of California’s recent multiyear drought, there is a critical need for accurate and timely evapotranspiration (ET) and crop stress information to ensure long-term sustainability ...
Accounting for Almond Crop Water Use under Different Irrigation Regimes with a Two-Source Energy Balance Model and Copernicus-Based Inputs
(MDPI, 2022-04-27)
Accounting for water use in agricultural fields is of vital importance for the future prospects for enhancing water use efficiency. Remote sensing techniques, based on modelling surface energy fluxes, ...
Airborne Thermal Imagery to Detect the Seasonal Evolution of Crop Water Status in Peach, Nectarine and Saturn Peach Orchards
(MDPI, 2016-01-05)
In the current scenario of worldwide limited water supplies, conserving water is a major concern in agricultural areas. Characterizing within-orchard spatial heterogeneity in water requirements would ...
