Wi-Fi and Satellite-Based Location Techniques for Intelligent Agricultural Machinery Controlled by a Human Operator
(MDPI, 2014)
In the new agricultural scenarios, the interaction between autonomous tractors
and a human operator is important when they jointly perform a task. Obtaining and
exchanging accurate localization information between ...
Design of a Soil Cutting Resistance Sensor for Application in Site-Specific Tillage
(MDPI, 2013)
One objective of precision agriculture is to provide accurate information about
soil and crop properties to optimize the management of agricultural inputs to meet
site-specific needs. This paper describes the development ...
Design of a New Sensor for Determination of the Effects of Tractor Field Usage in Southern Spain: Soil Sinkage and Alterations in the Cone Index and Dry Bulk Density
(MDPI, 2012)
Variations in sinkage and cone index are of crucial importance when planning
fieldwork, and for determining the trafficability of farm machinery. Many studies have
highlighted the link between higher values of these ...
An Approach to Precise Nitrogen Management Using Hand-Held Crop Sensor Measurements and Winter Wheat Yield Mapping in a Mediterranean Environment
(MDPI, 2015)
Regardless of the crop production system, nutrients inputs must be controlled at
or below a certain economic threshold to achieve an acceptable level of profitability. The
use of management zones and variable-rate ...
Development of a Telemetry and Yield-Mapping System of Olive Harvester
(MDPI, 2015)
Sensors, communication systems and geo-reference units are required to achieve
an optimized management of agricultural inputs with respect to the economic and
environmental aspects of olive groves. In this study, three ...
Development and Evaluation of a Combined Cultivator and Band Sprayer with a Row-Centering RTK-GPS Guidance System
(MDPI, 2013)
Typically, low-pressure sprayers are used to uniformly apply pre- and
post-emergent herbicides to control weeds in crop rows. An innovative machine for weed
control in inter-row and intra-row areas, with a unique combination ...
