1. Development of Canopy Mapping System of Asian pears (Pyrus pyrifolia Naka) Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning

In 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.

2. Predicting in-Season Sorghum yield potential using Remote Sensing Approach: a case study of Kano in Sudan Savannah agro- ecological zone, Nigeria

The preliminary estimation of expected yields and the accuracy of this evaluation provide information for decision-making related to the harvest. Estimating crop yield using remote sensing techniques has proven to be successful, having the ability to provide yield estimates prior to harvest. This study was conducted to examine the applicability of Sentinel-2B for estimating sorghum yield during the 2018 rainy season in Bebeji, Dawakin-Kudu and Rano Local Government Areas Kano State, in the Sudan...

3. Does the combination of conservation agriculture and fertilizer microdosing improve soil chemical properties in semi-arid Zimbabwe in the short term?

Crop yields in the fragile semi-arid areas of Zimbabwe have been declining over time due to decline in soil fertility resulting mainly from droughts and lack of fertilizers. However, conservation agriculture (CA) and fertilizer micro-dosing (MD) have the potential to sustainably improve crop yields. A field experiment was set-up to assess the effects of integrating CA and MD on soil quality. It was hypothesized that the two practices improve soil chemical properties (soil organic carbon (SOC),... A. Shumba
