Humidity sensors measure atmospheric water vapor concentration to forecast crop water loss and optimize irrigation timing. As relative humidity declines, vapor pressure deficit rises, increasing crop transpiration and irrigation requirements. ...
From climate change and disease, to declining production and uncertainties around tariffs and trade, the global orange juice sector is going through unprecedented upheaval, which will result in winners and losers for both growers and ...
In the pursuit of sustainable and efficient agricultural practices, advanced irrigation controllers have emerged as a transformative technology with the potential to enhance crop yield while promoting water conservation. This article explores the multifaceted role of advanced irrigation controllers in modern agriculture and their impact on optimizing crop ...
This means John hit the ground running and as the crop modelling functionality of the main Crop4Sight programme collects data on field performance, he’ll build up a databank to inform management of future crops. ...
A method for estimating and forecasting termed as a crop estimation allows analysts or farm owners to predict or calculate the potential tonnage of a particular crop. ...
Weather Forecasting Flooding, droughts, heavy rains, and other severe weather occurrences substantially influence crops and cattle. ...
It is also starting to become clear that subsurface replenishment of soil water is another important factor affecting crop yield in dry years. “A good example was the excellent crop yields under the drought conditions of 2017. ...
Cost- and labour-intensity. Depending on crop type and region size, manual scouting can be costly for supply chain companies. ...
We add other information like weather forecast, soil type, crop templates. Talk to me about the benefits of doing that from a strategic irrigation standpoint. ...

moment meant farmers could fertilize their crops unlike ever before, growing food on a massive scale. So massive, in fact, a population explosion ensued – humankind went from 1.6 billion in 1900 to 7.7 billion in 2019. ...
Tassel Counts available for the 2020 growing season Sentera announces that its Tassel Count analytics product will be available to all FieldAgent™ customers in March 2020. Instead of forecasting yield using a small number of spot samples, the Sentera tassel count analytics tool allows users to more precisely calculate yields using tassel population data gathered across the ...
Brazil is the largest exporter of coffee, sugarcane, beef and crop-based ethanol biofuel, and the second largest producer of soybeans. ...

For the month of February, you can find our directional changes below: Brazil Our soybean yield forecast has decreased 0.6% since our January report and is now roughly 10% below the December 11, 2018 USDA forecast. ...
A reference ET is the calculated ET for a standard grass of a standard height. The ET for a specific crop could then be calculated by simply multiplying the reference ET by a crop coefficient. ...
In this study we show the effectiveness of the combined use of numerical weather predictions and hydrological modelling to forecast soil moisture and crop water requirement in order to optimize irrigation scheduling. ...
The impact of potential future climate change scenarios on the irrigation water requirements (IRRs) of two major agricultural crops (coffee and seed corn) in Hawai'i was studied using the Irrigation Management System (IManSys) model. In addition to IRRs calculations, IManSys calculates runoff, deep percolation, canopy interception, and effective rainfall based on plant growth parameters, site ...
How can the benefits of precision agriculture be advanced to countries where arable land is in abundance but inefficient farming methods are limiting the crop output such that farmers are barely able to meet their own needs? ...
The US is celebrating bumper crops this year, according to Farming UK. The publication states that the record-breaking corn harvest this year surpassed expectations of the US Department of Agriculture and it seems that because of the warm summer this year, that the UK could be following in its footsteps. Farming UK also reports on a trial that examines the good health of sugar beet crops. With ...
In this paper, the calibration and prediction capacity of a supply response positive mathematical programming model (PMP) for the Alentejo region are evaluated. The model is calibrated with prices and agricultural subsidies of the base year (2000), using the specification rules of the cost function standard, Paris standard, average cost and exogenous elasticities. Then, the model is utilised for ...
Real-time prediction of daily reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) is the basis for estimating crop evapotranspiration and for computing crop irrigation requirements. In recent years, least-squares support vector machines (LSSVMs) have been applied for forecasting in many fields of engineering. In this paper, LSSVMs are ...
