Precision Robotic Spot-Spraying: Reducing Herbicide Use and Enhancing Environmental Outcomes in Sugarcane [PDF]
Precise robotic weed control plays an essential role in precision agriculture. It can help significantly reduce the environmental impact of herbicides while reducing weed management costs for farmers. In this paper, we demonstrate that a custom-designed robotic spot spraying tool based on computer vision and deep learning can significantly reduce ...

Volumetric based mass flow estimation on sugarcane harvesters [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Yield monitors on harvesters are a key component of precision agriculture. Mass flow estimation is the critical factor to measure, and having this allows for field productivity analysis, adjustments to machine efficiency, and cost minimization by ensuring trucks are filled maximally without exceeding weight limits.

Using vis-NIRS and Machine Learning methods to diagnose sugarcane soil chemical properties [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Knowing chemical soil properties might be determinant in crop management and total yield production. Traditional soil properties estimation approaches are time-consuming and require complex lab setups, refraining farmers from promptly taking steps towards optimal practices in their crops.

Competitiveness of Brazilian Sugarcane Ethanol Compared to US Corn Ethanol [PDF]
Corn ethanol produced in the US and sugarcane ethanol produced in Brazil are the world’s leading sources of biofuel. Current US biofuel policies create both incentives and constraints for the import of ethanol from Brazil, and together with the ...

Reliability-centered maintenance: analyzing failure in harvest sugarcane machine using some generalizations of the Weibull distribution [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In this study we considered five generalizations of the standard Weibull distribution to describe the lifetime of two important components of harvest sugarcane machines. The harvesters considered in the analysis does the harvest of an average of 20 tons of sugarcane per hour and their malfunction may lead to major losses, therefore, an effective ...

Which biofuel market does the ethanol tariff protect? Implications for social welfare and GHG emissions [PDF]
The ethanol tariff is one of the instruments used by the government to encourage domestic ethanol production. Existing literature analyzing the market and welfare effects of the US ethanol tariff has concluded that removing the tariff would increase ...

Effect of cryopreservation on the structural and functional integrity of cell membranes of sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) embryogenic calluses [PDF]
Cryoletters, Volume 23, Number 4, July 2002, pp. 237-244, 2018 In this paper, we investigated if the differences consistently noted in survival and plantlet production between cryopreserved and non-cryopreserved, control sugarcane embryogenic calluses were related to modifications induced during cryopreservation in the structural and functional integrity of cell membranes.
