Assessment of spray drift potential reduction for hollow-cone nozzles: Part 1. Classification using indirect methods
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-06-10)Spray drift is one of the main pollution sources identified when pesticides are sprayed on crops. In this work, in order to simplify the evaluation of hollow-cone nozzles according to their drift potential reduction, several ... -
Assessing ranked set sampling and ancillary data to improve fruit load estimates in peach orchards
(Elsevier, 2019-08-08)Fruit load estimation at plot level before harvest is a key issue in fruit growing. To face this challenge, two sampling methods to estimate fruit load in a peach tree orchard were compared: simple random sampling (SRS) ... -
Variable rate dosing in precision viticulture: Use of electronic devices to improve application efficiency
(Elsevier, 2010-03)Two different spray application methods were compared in three vine varieties at different crop stages. A conventional spray application with a constant volume rate per unit ground area (1 ha(-1)) was compared with a ... -
Spatial variability in commercial orange groves. Part 2: relating canopy geometry to soil attributes and historical yield
(Springer, 2018-10-16)Site-specific management strategies are usually dependant on the understanding of the underlying cause and effect relationships that occur at the within-field level. The assessment of canopy geometry of tree crops has been ... -
Spatial variability in commercial orange groves. Part 1: canopy volume and height
(Springer, 2018-09-22)Characterizing crop spatial variability is crucial for estimating the opportunities for site-specific management practices. In the context of tree crops, ranging sensor technology has been developed to assess tree canopy ... -
