Autonomous Sweet Pepper Harvesting for Protected Cropping Systems [PDF]
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, vol. 2, no. 2, pp. 872-879,
April 2017. doi: 10.1109/LRA.2017.2655622, 2017 In this letter, we present a new robotic harvester (Harvey) that can autonomously harvest sweet pepper in protected cropping environments. Our approach combines effective vision algorithms with a novel end-effector design to enable successful harvesting of sweet peppers.

, 2021 The choice of variety is one of the most important decisions made when growing soybeans. Choosing the right variety creates the conditions for high added value through high (and reliable) yields of grain of adequate quality. Attention to the specific quality attributes of a variety can attract high prices in specialised markets. Other attributes of the

Phenotypic variability in Italian rice germplasm [PDF]
Eur J Agron 120, 126131 (2020), 2020 Plant breeding is one of the key strategies for further enhancement of crop yields; however, effective breeding strategies require phenotypic characterisation of the available germplasm. This study sought to characterise the phenotypic expression of fourteen crop traits related to phenology, plant architecture, and yield in a panel of 40 cultivars ...
