Understanding Artificial Intelligence: What It Is and How It Is Used in Agriculture

Daeun Choi, Omeed Mirbod, Uchechukwu Ilodibe, and Steven Kinsey

The primary goal of this article is to provide background knowledge and terms that frequently come up in other articles about AI as well as in general use. The target audiences of this series include the general public, Extension educators, and farmers who want to know more about AI systems and their applications. This series will help readers understand the opportunities that AI brings to agriculture as smart technologies continue to grow in the market. Written by Daeun Choi, Omeed Mirbod, Uchechukwu Ilodibe, and Steven Kinsey, and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, October 2023.

Approaches to Consider for Site-Specific Field Mapping

Lakesh K. Sharma and Yiannis Ampatzidis

This publication discusses the general concept of site-specific farming, i.e., dividing a farm into several smaller management parcels instead of considering the whole farm as a single unit. This publication provides information on methods available that could be incorporated into the farming system for smart decision-making, for example, varying nutrient applications. The publication also discusses Normalized Difference Vegetative Index (NDVI) maps, Global Positioning System (GPS) units, yield monitors, and electrical conductivity maps.

Impact of In-Row Planting Patterns on Reniform Nematodes Using Precision Agriculture in Cotton

D. L. Wright, S. George, I. Small, T. Stansly, and Z. Grabau

This article is intended to inform cotton producers and associated agricultural professionals of a practical method to help manage plant-parasitic nematodes in cotton. Written by D. L. Wright, S. George, I. Small, T. Stansly, and Z. Grabau, and published by the UF/IFAS Agronomy Department, revised September 2022.

A Step-by-Step Guide for Automated Plant Canopy Delineation Using Deep Learning: An Example in Strawberry Using ArcGIS Pro Software

Amr Abd-Elrahman, Katie Britt, and Vance Whitaker

This publication presents a guide to image analysis for researchers and farm managers who use ArcGIS software. Anyone with basic geographic information system analysis skills may follow along with the demonstration and learn to implement the Mask Region Convolutional Neural Networks model, a widely used model for object detection, to delineate strawberry canopies using ArcGIS Pro Image Analyst Extension in a simple workflow. This process is useful for precision agriculture management.
