ABSTRACT An Allis-Chalmers N6 combine was instrumented with a grain flowmeter and location detection equipment. The installed data acquisition system used to develop yield maps that showed in-field variations as function of in the field. analysis methodology developed produce by smoothing flowrate reconstructing from flow into combine's tank.
Typically, developing new digital agriculture technologies requires substantial on-site resources and data. However, the crop’s growth cycle provides only limited time windows for experiments equipment validation. This study presents a photorealistic twin of commercial-scale strawberry farm, coupled with simulated ground vehicle, to address these constraints by generating high-fidelity synthetic RGB LiDAR These data enable rapid development evaluation deep learning-based machine vision...
ABSTRACT Stainless steel tubes and pipes are vital in dairy processing but require frequent cleaning, leading to notable energy consumption environmental impact. This study delves into the cleanability of wet milk deposits at temperatures 40°C 60°C on an exceptionally smooth internal surface achieved through magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) with a roughness 0.01 μm R . We compare this non‐MAF having values 0.37 3.7 To assess cleaning effectiveness, measured protein residue removal after...
Summary Integrated weed management ( IWM ) is one of the most commonly referred to approaches for sustainable and effective control in agriculture, yet it not widely practiced, likely because current systems fail meet performance expectations growers. The effectiveness value should increase with increasing application specificity true integration made possible contemporary advances technology, information decision support. can be classified based on their degree level tactics. In pathway, a...
Trunk injection of chemicals is an alternative to conventional methods applying plant protection products, and it can potentially deliver the exact dosage therapeutic material required by without undermining environmental human health. Although trunk has proven be effective method for managing systemic pathogens, several studies have highlighted limitations large-scale commercial tree crop applications because manual process involved, emphasising need automated system. The involves steps...
Current canopy shaker harvesting machines were designed and optimized based on experimental studies about their fruit removal efficiency. To further improve the performance of machines, a better understanding interaction between tree is needed. Simulation for an entire or fruit-stem subsystems are available trunk mechanical harvesters, but no such study has been reported using shaker. The goal this was to develop evaluate simulation framework predicting finite element methods. A field...
Strawberries are an important and high-value crop in the United States. The total value of strawberry production States was $3.42 billion 2021. However, a major pest strawberries, two-spotted spider mites (TSSM) (Tetranychus urticae Koch), can cause severe economic losses due to feeding on chlorophyll which interferes with photosynthesis. Predatory (Neoseiulus californicus Phytoseiulus persimilis) control TSSM populations provide alternative conventional pesticides. more friendly environment...
A cooperative effort between researchers, manufacturers, and growers has been investigating precisionfarming applications in Florida citrus. Citrus yields, based on the location of volume-based containers, were mappedusing a conventional fruit-loading truck, manual harvesters (> 99% citrus is manually harvested), andGIS/GPS components. These maps overlaid geo-referenced aerial photographs tree canopies. Two fruitweighing systems mounted truck integrated with GIS/GPS components to...
Feedforward and feedback control strategies are applied to a servo-driven flexible structure studied by time-domain computer simulations. Simulation results compared the of experimental runs on arm apparatus. The most accurate stable responses obtained adding corrective terms command signals when position is taken only from servo. Full conditioning signal, which involves compensating for dynamics both servo arm, produced best response. Simulations experiments show that positional...
Highlights An equation was developed for estimating the needle penetration force required trunk injection. A method to determine pump pressure citrus tree injection developed. This information can be used development of a drill-free, pressurized, automated system. Abstract. Targeted precise management intravascular diseases such as Huanglongbing (HLB) involves application therapeutics via Although has proven more effective than foliar spray and soil drenching, multiple studies have...
