Animal welfare strongly influences the health and performance of cattle and is an important factor for consumer acceptance. One parameter for the quantification of health status is the lying duration, which can be deployed for the early detection of...
Tillage, as a key agricultural operation, has an important influence on soil properties and crop productivity. However, tillage at the same depth is not always the best choice as differences in soil texture, compacted topsoil, or plow pan at differen...
In the last decade, Smart Glasses (SG) and augmented reality (AR) technology have gained considerable interest in all production sectors. In the agricultural field, an SG can be considered a valuable device to support farmers and agricultural operato...
This study assesses the impact of defoliation applied to three developmental stages across three cropping seasons from 2021 to 2023 on growth, yield and forage quality in maize. The experimental design included three treatments: defoliation of three...
This study investigated the interoperability of a tomato fruit detection model trained using nighttime images from two greenhouses. The goal was to evaluate the performance of the models in different environmets, including different facilities, culti...
The Fruit Harvest Helper, a mobile application developed by Northwest Nazarene University’s (NNU) Robotics Vision Lab, aims to assist farmers in estimating fruit yield for apple orchards. Currently, farmers manually estimate the fruit yield for...
Soil compaction between crop rows can increase a machine’s performance by reducing rolling resistance and fuel demand. Controlled Traffic Farm (CTF) stands out among modern techniques for increasing agricultural sustainability because the machi...
Several factors contribute to the increase in irrigation demand: population growth, demand for higher value-added products, and the impacts of climate change, among others. High-quality water is essential for irrigation, so knowledge of water quality...
Among the technological tools used in precision agriculture, the convolutional neural network (CNN) has shown promise in determining the nutritional status of plants, reducing the time required to obtain results and optimizing the variable applicatio...
The poultry industry is shifting towards more sustainable and ethical practices, including adopting cage-free (CF) housing to enhance hen behavior and welfare. However, ensuring optimal indoor air quality, particularly concerning particulate matter (...
