Yield monitoring is a key element of Precision Agriculture (PA) given the importance of yield maps to the process of ‘management zone’ delineation and decisions around the targeting of inputs such as fertilisers. This paper presents a protocol for the...
A number of attempts have been made to monitor sugarcane yield variation within a block in Australia. These have ranged from the early yield monitoring systems based on discrete mass measurement, to the current focus of predicting yield via surrogate measurements...
Growing interest in Precision Agriculture in the sugar industry has been matched by an increasing use of electromagnetic soil sensing for characterising soil variation within cane blocks. Possible alternative technologies for such soil sensing include the VERIS 3100,...
Growers adopting Precision Agriculture approaches to sugar cane production have been predominantly focussed on the use of variable rate management of fertilisers and soil amendments (VRT) to optimise yield. However, cane yield is only one component of the sugar...
