Satellite-based Data for Precision Farming Applications
The low cost of our data acquisition, coupled with our ability to task our own satellites and process data on-board allow us to bring data to problems that are outside of the possibilities for current satellites, aerial imaging and drones
9 Tips to Improve Drone Flight Time
As far as drones have evolved over the years, many consumer models still feature a max flight time of around 20 minutes. Some offer as little as five minutes. This fallback can be annoying to those wanting to fly longer than a third of an hour
Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture: Understanding Crop Growth
There are many different types of potential applications of AI in agriculture -- ranging from machine control, to image analysis, to improving our understanding of where, when, and how a crop might respond toparticular environmental conditions.
Agriculture Impacts Weather: The Case For Connected Ecosystems
When viewing the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles and southwest Kansas in Google Earth, you can see areas of green interspersed with predominantly brown tones. Zooming into any of these areas, you quickly discover that the majority of these green pixels are irrigated fields
Pegasus Food Futures Introduce Ground-breaking Farming Technique
They unveiled plans to use artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency and reduce the costs of hydroponic farming as well as to optimise the nutritional value of the crops.
Some Deep Learnings from Applying Deep Learning
To build a robust deep learning model, it can be much more than training or fine tuning some existing models (e.g. inception v3, resnet, LSTM, etc.) with your own dataset. These winning models are your best friend and can usually serve as base models.
Mapping Potassium Deficiency: Table Grapes in the San Joaquin Valley
Growers know their crop and the pitfalls that diminish yield quality and quantity. Walking the field garners valuable information, but not all problems are visible to the naked eye, especially during early stages of a pest infestation, disease onset, or nutrient deficiency.
Using NDVI to Validate Fungicide Treatments in Barley
In this study, calibrated NDVI values showed a strong correlation with the level of disease visually scouted by researchers in the field. In fact, the NDVI map was able to successfully indicate differences in barley yield between the treatments.
Danish "Robot Hands" Pack Delicate Herbs
The two "fingers" of the robot gripper have built-in intelligence and advanced technology that mimics the way humans instinctively use our sense of touch when we grab things to move them.
Indoor Gardening is a Great Experience
Almost any plant can be successfully grown indoors. Youll need to do a little research to learn what crops will fit into your space and lighting availability. Herb gardens will grow in small spaces and in low light conditions.
Cargill brings facial recognition capability to farmers through strategic equity investment in Cainthus
Cargill and Cainthus intend to first focus on the global dairy segment, but will expand to other species, including swine, poultry and aqua over the next several months.
Nitrogen Application Study on Corn: How UAVs Can Benefit Crops
At the end of the day, the process of scouting a field still takes time. But drones can deliver an 80-95% better success rate of finding issues in the field. They provide precision ag with an efficient, cost-effective manner of scouting.
Automation Is Coming…and 9 Other Things You Need to Know About Indoor Farming
When asked about the technologies growers are looking to invest in this year, most farmers selected data and analytics; climate control systems ranked second.
Detecting Weeds with MicaSense Atlas and RedEdge
The weed detection layers in MicaSense Atlas are designed to help growers identify and differentiate weeds from planted crops based on plant chlorophyll content. Each layer has a different combination of bands and color composite
Agricultural robots and drones to become a $45Bn industry by 2038
Robotic technology is quietly transforming the world of agriculture. In this article, we describe how this market will plausibly grow to become a $45Bn industry by 2038. We will also demonstrate how diverse this emerging industry is in terms of forms, functions and fortunes.

From the Farm to Your Table: How Optics Are Transforming Agrifood Industry
Agriculture is one of the pillars of our economy, providing jobs, revenue, raw materials and essential food products. However, the agricultural sector is facing many challenges, including the impact of climate change, the shortage of skilled labour and the need to produce more efficiently and sustainably. To tackle the problem, the agricultural world is undergoing a transformation thanks to new technologies and innovations based on optical technologies. In this 20-page e-book, we present how optical technologies are changing agrifood industry and the applications it now makes possible from the farm to your table.
