Development and Implementation of Site Specific and Reduced Risk Production Technology
EF 2020-21 · 2020-11-01
Résumé
The proposed project is to develop and test remote sensing site specific field management technologies. It will be done with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles, sensors, and analytical software that will all work together to assess wild blueberry fields for plant coverage, canopy density and health. The analysis will also be used to generate site specific prescription maps that will be uploaded and used in self-propelled sprayers equipped with individual nozzle control (INC) which will allow for precise delivery of agrochemicals to the intended and prescribed areas of fields, reducing spray overlaps and non-target applications

Description (French)
Le projet proposé consiste à concevoir et à tester des technologies de gestion de terrain propres aux sites de télédétection. Il sera réalisé à l'aide de véhicules aériens sans pilote, de capteurs et de logiciels d'analyse qui travailleront tous de concert pour évaluer des champs de myrtilles sauvages sur le plan de la couverture végétale, de la densité du couvert et de la santé. L'analyse sera également utilisée pour générer des cartes de prescription propres à chaque site qui seront téléchargées et utilisées dans des pulvérisateurs automoteurs équipés d'une commande individuelle des buses, laquelle permettra une distribution précise des produits agrochimiques dans les zones prévues et prescrites des champs, réduisant ainsi les chevauchements de pulvérisation et les applications non ciblées.
