ABSTRACT Climate is the set of average atmospheric conditions that characterizes a region. It directly influences majority human activities, especially agriculture. classification systems (CCSs) are important tools in study agriculture, enabling knowledge climatic characteristics Thus, we aimed to perform characterization State Paraná using methods proposed by Köppen and Geiger (1928), modified Trewartha (1954) (KT), Thornthwaite (1948) (TH) Camargo (1991) Maluf (2000) (CM), data from...
Machine learning (ML) and its branch, deep (DL), is rapidly evolving gaining popularity as it outperforms other, more traditional methods in different areas of agriculture. However, ML DL techniques must be correctly applied to a problem produce an acceptable solution. This article provides guidelines for using with case study models/methods forecast yields cereals; some the concepts presented here are also applicable broadly. The objective provide clarity new users around use solve...
Abstract During the past few decades, a range of digital strategies for Nitrogen (N) management using various types input data and recommendation frameworks have been developed. Despite much research, benefits accrued from such technology equivocal. In this work, thirteen methods mid-season N recommendations in cereal production systems were evaluated simultaneously, ranging simple mass balance through to non-mechanistic approaches based on machine learning. To achieve this, an extensive...
The development of cost-effective, digitally based decision support systems is a key challenge in the optimization farm management. Yet, majority sensor-based tools which fertiliser management have relied on simplistic mechanistic frameworks normally informed by single sensor. This study used 20-year nitrogen (N) experiment winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to test range approaches for N systems, including commercial options and novel, multivariate, data-driven approach. latter was...
Abstract Recognition of the importance soil moisture information to optimisation water-limited dryland cereal production has led Australian growers being encouraged make use sensors. However, irrespective merits different sensing technologies, only a small volume is sensed, raising questions as utility such sensors in broadacre cropping, especially given spatial variability water holding capacity. Here, using data collected from contrasting sites South Australia and Western over two seasons,...
Abstract. In-season, pre-harvest crop yield forecasts are essential for enhancing transparency in commodity markets and improving food security. They play a key role increasing resilience to climate change extreme events thus contribute the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 2 of zero hunger. Pre-harvest forecasting is complex task, as several interacting factors formation, including in-season weather variability, events, long-term change, soil, pests, diseases farm management...
In the last decades, several methodologies for estimating crop phenology based on remote sensing data have been developed and used to create different algorithms. Although many studies conducted evaluate methodologies, a comprehensive understanding of potential current algorithms detect changes in growing season is still lacking, especially large regions with more than one per season. Therefore, this work aimed phenological metrics extraction methodologies. Using from over 1500 fields...
Accurate and timely regional estimates of agricultural production are key for decision makers. This study aims to understand how different machine learning techniques impact soybean yield estimation in extracting maximum information from remotely sensed MODIS enhanced vegetation index (EVI) that is constrained by phenology. Specifically, a methodology developed incorporating phenological aligned with EVI acquisition each pixel selecting the most significant predictors out 36 using feature...
Brazilian farming influences directly the worldwide economy. Thus, fast and reliable information on areas sown with main crops is essential for planning logistics public or private commodity market policies. Recent practices have embraced remote sensing to provide dynamics. Medium-to-low resolution free orbital images, such as those from Landsat 8 Sentinel 2, been used crop mapping; however, satellite image processing requires high computing power, especially when monitoring vast areas....
Knowledge of the agricultural calendar crops is essential to better estimate and forecast cultivation large-scale crops. The aim this study was sowing date (SD), maximum vegetative development (DMVD), harvest (HD) soybean corn in state Paraná, Brazil. Dates from 120 farms Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 2011 2014 were used into a seasonal trend analysis obtain patterns. results indicate that majority sown during October DMVD occurs...
Processed-based models are increasingly being used with gridded soil and weather data; however, their validation is often on small, sampled datasets, calling into question accuracy when extrapolated to larger scales more uncertain input data. Here, we benchmarked the of APSIM Next Generation (APSIM-NG) crop model for wheat yield predictions multiple trials from 2005 2022 using data largest independently coordinated national trial network in world (Australia's Grain Research Development...
Mathematical modellers, decision support developers, statisticians, and students evaluate the differences between observed model predicted values. When evaluating models, it is far too easy to conduct evaluation by fitting a linear regression data. In this paper, steps are presented on ‘how to’ using deviance metrics rather than reporting r2 from regression. The paper aims provide sound reasoning, with data, against r2. addresses five arguments, previously put forward, for not when...
Due to the difficulty in discriminating soybean and corn mappings obtained by time series of satellite images, this study aimed apply data mining techniques separate corn. Pure pixels selection from Landsat-8 were extracted used build a standard spectro-temporal EVI profile for both crops. These profiles with Timesat software and, further incorporated Weka software. Five out eleven variables each crop found through decision tree, technique. five sufficient achieve separation crops an...
The knowledge of Sowing Dates (SD), Maximum Vegetative Development (MVDD), and Harvest (HD) crops is important for estimating forecasting large-scale productivity. Prior information on harvest date also useful in optimizing grain reception logistics improving business decision-making agro-industrial companies. This study aimed to develop a method predict the HD soybeans from MVDD, which was obtained crop maps state Paraná between 2011/2012 2013/2014 years. TIMESAT software used perform...
The prevalence of agro-meteorological data for specific regions serve as parameters agricultural and related climate studies.
