5 Ways to Improve Water Use Efficiency
Improving water use efficiency, the ratio of yield to water supplied can boost food production for a growing population without additional use of limited water resources. Water use efficiency for food production can be improved at the farm or plant level. On farms, this can be achieved through optimized management. At the plant level, improvements… Continue reading…
LAI Modeling to Improve Kiwifruit Orchard Management
This recent study combines many firsts to guide the management of kiwifruit orchards through precision agriculture. By focusing on leaf area index, choosing a precise estimation tool, the CI-110 Plant Canopy Imager, and including important textural information, the scientists aimed to discover and improve model prediction for monitoring growth and yield estimation in kiwifruit orchards.… Continue reading…

Canopy Analysis in Agriculture: Outdoor and Greenhouse Applications
Canopy Analysis in Agriculture: Outdoor and greenhouse applications for disease detection, citrus greening & a comparison of LI-COR’s Canopy Analyzer to CID’s Plant Canopy Imager
Improving Carbon Flux Modeling with Plant Canopy Analysis and Gas Exchange Measurement
Gross Primary Productivity models are crucial to estimate carbon flux in time and space. Integrating sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), which is sensitive to photosynthetic activity, can improve productivity estimates. However, scaling SIF from plants to landscape, while including a myriad of factors that influence how much incident solar light is used, is not easy. Therefore,… Continue reading…
