Despite the growing relevance of Agriculture 4.0 technologies for enhancing productivity, decision-making, and sustainability in agri-food systems, their adoption remains uneven in developing-country contexts. This study aims to analyze the perceived severity and co-occurrence structure of barriers to Agri...

Abstract: In agricultural robotics and orchard automation, tasks such as fruit detection, tracking, and spatiallocalization are essential for applications like yield prediction and harvesting. However, these tasks arechallenging due to the similar appearance of fruits, occlusions, and the inherent dif...

Abstract: Cattle weight is essential for decision-making in precision livestock farming, directly supporting nutrition management, animal welfare, and production efficiency. Existing methods rely on close-range measurements or manual intervention, limiting scalability. This work proposes an workflow for cattle&...

Cattle weight is essential for decision-making in precision livestock farming, directly supporting nutrition management, animal welfare, and production efficiency.

Plant–pollinator interactions are essential to the functioning of natural and agricultural ecosystems. Although the volume of available data on these interactions is steadily increasing, their utility for integrative studies is limited by heterogeneity in data formats and poor documentation. The ...

Brazil has a deficit of 27 Mha of native vegetation in rural properties and the ambition to restore 12 Mha by 2030 (Nationally Determined Contributions—Paris Agreement), while the state of São Paulo has committed to reforesting 1.5 Mha by 2025. The regulation of payment for&#x...

Apple orchards are increasingly adopting anti-hail nets to mitigate climate risks; however, these structures alter canopy reflectance and pose challenges for remote sensing. This study presents an operational framework to map apple orchards under different netting conditions in Vacaria, Brazil. M...

RESUMO: O monitoramento do teor de água do solo pode ser realizado de forma direta por meio de sensores, principalmente sondas de capacitância FDR e TDR e de forma indireta a partir da parametrização de modelos baseados em processos. Diante do exposto, este trabalho teve ...

Projections of world population show that there will be a greater demand for food, fiber and energy, requiring an increase in agricultural productivity, cost reduction and sustainable use of natural resources. Thus, it is essential to consider the process of digital transformation in&#x...
