• Crop detection and positioning in the field using discriminant analysis and neural networks based on shape features 

  Kiani, S.; Jafari, Abdolabbas (Tarbiat Modares University, 2012)

  Development of an autonomous weeding machine requires a vision system capable of detecting and locating the position of the crop. It is important for the vision system to be able to recognize the accurate position of the ...
• Semi-permeable layer formation during seed development in Elymus nutans and Elymus sibiricus 

  Zhou, J.; Wang, Y.; Trethewey, Jason A. K. (Polish Botanical Society, 2013-09-23)

  The semi-permeable layer is a layer in the seeds of certain plants that restricts or impedes the exchange of the solute while allowing the permeability of internal and external water and gas, which is valuable protection ...
• Generalised adaptive harmony search: a comparative analysis of modern harmony search 

  Fourie, Jaco; Green, R.; Geem, Z. W. (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)

  Harmony search (HS) was introduced in 2001 as a heuristic population-based optimisation algorithm. Since then HS has become a popular alternative to other heuristic algorithms like simulated annealing and particle swarm ...
• Nitrogen fertiliser management with zone characterisation in grazed pasture systems 

  Roberts, Jessica; Trotter, M.; Woodward, Simon; Werner, Armin (Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, Massey University, 2015-02)

  Spatial information is frequently used for managing arable crops. The idea of developing management zones is often to enable accurate fertiliser supply for local crop needs. This helps avoid ...
• Comparison of spray dose measured on leaf surfaces with spray coverage estimated from Kromekote® paper 

  Roten, Rory; Connell, Robert J.; Hewitt, Andrew; Woodward, Simon (New Zealand Plant Protection Society Inc, 2015)

  The control of tomato potato psyllid largely depends on effective application of pesticides. This paper presents an experiment to measure deposition using leaf washing of spray containing water and rhodamine dye on a potato ...
