1. Orchard Yield Assessment in North-East of Morocco using Satellite ImageryAgricultural sector represents one of the pillars of the Moroccan economy. The Green Morocco Plan (GMP) established in 2008 present the main engine of development of this sector and for local economy. One of the objectives of Pillar I and Pillar II of GMP was to maximize production with less use of water resources. As an effect of climate change, Morocco is experiencing a strong variability in spatial and temporal variability of precipitation with a detrimental effect on yield and quality of crop... K.

3. Development of Canopy Mapping System of Asian pears (Pyrus pyrifolia Naka) Using Terrestrial Laser ScanningIn this paper, the canopy mapping system (CMS) of Asian pears for estimating yield during Bud thinning and Pruning operations using point cloud data was proposed. Bud thinning and Pruning in Asian pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Naka) is necessary to ensure quality and yield but is time-consuming and heavily depends on work knowledge. This study described a method of estimating the number of fruits through the length of a branch based on remote sensing. The CMS would be useful to support more efficient... E. Morimoto, J. Lee, K.

4. Development of Lodging Direction Determination System Using Image ProcessingIn this study, image processing system was developed for application on rice plants to determine lodging condition, which was contributing factor to declining harvester efficiency by using combine harvester. Therefore, We developed a system for determination of the lodging direction by algorithm based on convolutional neural network (CNN). As for deep learning framework, Pytorch1.1.0 were used to train and test the judging direction. GoogLeNet was used as a pre-trained CNN model. Lodging... E. Morimoto, Y. Arai, K. Nonami, T. Ito |
5. LiDAR-based soybean crop segmentation for autonomous navigationThe technological advances in the last few decades have greatly changed agricultural operations. In order to became safer, more profitable, efficient, and sustainable, modern farms have adopted the use of sophisticated technologies, such as robots, sensors, aerial images, and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). These technologies not only increase the crop productivity, but also reduce the wide use of water, fertilisers, and pesticides. Due to this, they reduce costs and negative environmental... V.A.

6. Deep Learning is bringing pan-African small holder advisory services based on mid-infrared spectroscopic soil analysis to the next levelThe majority of African smallholder farmers do not have access to soil analytical services. The main reasons are relatively high costs of wet chemical services and difficult logistics. As a result they have to rely on blanket fertilizer recommendations. This often causes poor soil management due to very heterogeneous soil conditions. As a result, the return on investment from blanket fertilizer recommendations is low and fertilizer acceptance is not growing among smallholder farmers. Soil spectral... T. Terhoeven-urselmans, D.

7. Effect of Different Combinations of N, P and K Nutrients on Growth, Yield and Fibre Quality of Cotton (Gossypium Hirsutum L.)Cotton has high requirements for nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), and the nutrients interact differently on yield and quality of this crop. This necessitates the precise combination of these nutrients to maximize yield and quality. Two cotton varieties (Bt cotton and a conventionally bred variety, HART 89M) were assessed for growth, yield and quality under different nutrient combinations in two contrasting environments in semi-arid Kenya. Nutrient combinations were NPK,... E.W. Maina, E.W. Maina |
