Thrilled to join the 32nd annual meeting of the Club of Bologna. Exchanging ideas with leading experts and scholars in Agricultural mechanization is a fantastic opportunity to explore new horizons in digital agriculture. #ClubOfBologna #AgTech #DigitalFarming

So proud of my three former students, Very active at #ClubOfBologna!

Matthew Fidelibus talks about #remote sensing on #grape N detection on CA&ES, UC Davis #Grape Day before heading back to UCCE Fresno County . We complete four talks through Fresno-SLO-Davis-Fresno on #viticulture #extension road trip. Tomorrow back to UC Riverside philrols

This week, Mason Earles, assistant prof. in the Departments of Biological and Agricultural Engineering and Viticulture and Enology spoke to the benefits of AI in agriculture before the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. 🌱 spr.ly/6010uFDjM

The new Google Weed View tool developed by Dr. Mesgaran from UCDavisPlants harnesses AI to tackle the invasive johnsongrass problem, cutting costs and time significantly. It identified 2,000+ johnsongrass cases across the Western U.S. plantsciences.ucdavis.edu/news/mesgaran-…

Our lab's latest research is now published in Remote Sensing of Environment! Explore how we use hyperspectral sensing for nitrogen sensing in grapevines. Congratulations to Sirapoom Peanusaha et al.

Remote sensing isn't often used for vineyard N mgmt due to variability in spectral patterns in canopy images. But #graperesearch by @UCD_DigitalAg found that applying the PROSPECT radiative transfer model to hyperspectral images gives accurate N in leaves. bit.ly/3tI5BCY

Our latest publication in collaboration with UF/IFAS Agricultural and Biological Engineering is about a smartphone app automating #spidermite counting and integrating GPS for spot-on pesticide application. This app significantly ups the accuracy and speed over traditional methods. CA&ES, UC Davis Ag&Natural Resources Yiannis Ampatzidis

New episode of the HiRes Vineyard Nutrition Podcast with Dr. Alireza Pourreza, Associate Professor of UC Cooperative Extension. Learn about his lab’s research at beav.es/5GD #VineyardManagement #Viticulture #VineyardResearch #AgEngineering

A pleasant visit to the SunMaid raisin processing facility as part of the annual HiRes Vineyard Nutrition project meeting in Kingsburg, California

Swarm intelligence algorithm SSAFS optimizes plant disease detection by selecting key handcrafted features, enhancing classification accuracy in smart agriculture. #PlantDisease #DeepLearning Details:spj.science.org/doi/10.34133/p…

Early detection of Broomrape weed is crucial in controlling its spread, minimizing crop damage, and preserving soil health . At the Digital Ag Lab, we are developing a remote sensing technique for the early detection of Broomrape infestations. Ag&Natural Resources dailydemocrat.com/2024/03/20/par…

Thrilled to see our lab members at the #SPIEDCS conference, showcasing their innovations in remote sensing that elevate research standards. Their brilliance makes us all @UCDavis & @UCANR incredibly proud!
