AgrotechDanish sprayer maker Hardi has launched Auto Terrain Pro for its Twin Force and Delta Force booms, adding a rear-axle sensor that predicts boom movement and a damping cylinder in the suspension for a steadier spray pattern; it costs from €8,000.
AgrotechZenaTech's drone unit is testing a mobile operations trailer in Arizona that launches, recovers, recharges and refills its IQ Octo farm drones automatically, so one crew can spray, seed and spread over more acres a day.
AgrotechUniversity of Arkansas researchers comparing free and commercial satellite imagery, drones and handheld sensors found they often show the same crop patterns; a second study looks at drone spray speed and coverage.
AgrotechKubota and Norwegian robotics firm Kilter have signed a European deal to expand sales and service of the AX-1, a robot that uses cameras and AI to find single weeds and hit them with tiny drops of herbicide.
At its Tech Day near Chicago, AGCO is demonstrating retrofit autonomy for mixed fleets, AI-enabled spot spraying and Aurora, an AI assistant that answers farmers' questions by voice or text.
AgrotechUniversity of Georgia engineers are developing plant sensors that work like a smartwatch, reading hormones, volatile compounds and transpiration to warn of drought, disease or pests before the leaves show it.
AgrotechNorth Dakota State University engineers built a robot whose three independently controlled sweeps follow the ground by RTK-GPS and force sensors, cutting soil disturbance by 48.7% in field trials.
ARS's Digital Agricultural Systems Hub uses a 50-terabyte image library, a robot camera and boom-mounted cameras to train and deploy computer vision for farms.
AgrotechUniversity of Missouri engineers have built an AI framework that lets each farm drone choose whether to analyse its crop images on board, on a nearby edge server or in the cloud, cutting missed deadlines in simulations.
The Mill in White Hall opened a 2,000-ton facility with a computer-run blender, but dealers and analysts warn fertilizer prices are not coming down soon.
AgrotechA study in Plants, People, Planet found precision irrigation and non-destructive field testing saved water while improving yields and fruit quality.
AgrotechUniversity of Missouri engineers built an AI framework that lets each agricultural drone choose whether to analyse images onboard, on a nearby edge server or in the cloud.
AgrotechAt an AWS Cloud and AI Day, NZ Young Farmers' Cheyne Gillooly said AI will speed dairy, sheep and plant genetics research to market, while farmers described the shift to per-animal and in-paddock data.
