Smartirrigation Apps: Urban Turf

Haimanote K. Bayabil, Kati W. Migliaccio, J. H. Debastiani Andreis, Clyde Fraisse, Kelly T. Morgan, yG. Vellidis

As freshwater resources become increasingly scarce, efficient irrigation scheduling methods that allow efficient irrigation water uses are required. Migliaccio et al. (2016) have developed an app called Smartirrigation Turf, an easy-to-use mobile tool that delivers information to improve irrigation scheduling for urban turf. The app was only available for Florida and Georgia, but recently, we have made improvements to the app and made it available to any location throughout the contiguous United States.

What Is a Wireless Sensor Network?

Clyde Fraisse, Janise McNair, yThiago Borba Onofre

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a system designed to remotely monitor and control a specific phenomenon or event. WSNs are mostly used in agriculture to monitor environmental conditions and control irrigation (Aqeel-ur-Rehman et al. 2014). The WSN has the following advantages over traditional stand-alone sensors and controllers.

Estasyon Meteyo nan Jaden: Gid pou Enstalasyon ak Antretyen

Caroline G. Staub, William Eisenstadt, William Blanc, Nicole Monval, Clyde Fraisse, William R. Lusher, George Braun, yLee Staudt

Kondisyon meteyo yo ka jwe yon gwo wòl nan siksè oswa echèk aktivite agrikòl yo. Kiltivatè yo rekonèt sa e se sak fè yo toujou swiv bilten ak previzyon meteyo pou ka ede yo pran desizyon nan sa ki gen pou wè ak irigasyon, pwoteksyon kont fredi ansanm ak anpil lòt desizyon. An Ayiti, an jeneral, kantite estasyon meteyo ki genyen yo tou piti e pifò ladan yo plase nan zòn lavil. Kondisyon meteyo yo nan peyi a konn varye anpil, menm sou yon ti distans ki mezire kèk kilomèt sèlman. Kidonk, gen anpil chans enfòmasyon meteyo ki soti nan yon estasyon ki lavil ka pa reprezante kondisyon meteyo ki nan zòn ki pre jaden yo oswa zòn kote jaden yo ye a menm. Kòm kounye a teknoloji pou swiv sitiyasyon meteyo yo amelyore e vin pi bon mache, anpil kiltivatè konstwi epi enstale estasyon meteyo pa yo ki pou swiv sitiyasyon meteyo kap dewoule nan jaden yo menm. Enstalasyon yon estasyon meteyo bay kiltivatè yo yon opòtinite san parèy pou yo konprann pi byen kòman kondisyon meteyo yo afekte jaden ak betay y

Getting Started with Enterprise Budgets and Sensitivity Analysis

Samantha Snyder, Hope Nelson, Suzanne Thornsbury, yClyde Fraisse

Used together, enterprise budgets and sensitivity analysis offer a practical, adaptable way to provide input for economic decision-making in agriculture. This publication outlines the benefits and limitations of each tool. For Florida producers, Extension agents, and stakeholders, integrating enterprise budgets with sensitivity analysis provides a more comprehensive framework for decision-making.

Quick Guide to Environmental Factors Impacting Subtropical and Tropical Fruit Crops in Florida

Jonathan H. Crane, Bruce Schaffer, Young Gu Her, Haimanote K. Bayabil, Jeff Wasielewski, yClyde Fraisse

Commercial tropical fruit crop acreage is expanding in Florida outside the traditional extreme south Florida and coastal counties. This largely results from the significantly warmer climate, less frequent freezing events, and less severity and duration of freezing events throughout the state, especially south-central counties. In addition, as the loss of citrus acreage continues, citrus growers and entrepreneurs are seeking alternative crops to remain in business. The successful establishment and maintenance of tropical and subtropical fruit crops in Florida depend on the crop’s tolerance to critical abiotic factors, including tolerance to flooded or waterlogged soil conditions, its ability to withstand high soil and irrigation water salinity, and its high and low temperature ranges for growth, flowering, and production. This publication aims to provide an understanding of the impacts of environmental factors on subtropical and tropical fruit crops grown in Florida.

Blueberry Advisory System: A Disease Alert System for Blueberry Anthracnose Fruit Rot

André B. Gama, Douglas A. Phillips, Vinícius A. Cerbaro, Philip F. Harmon, Clyde Fraisse, yNatalia A. Peres

The weather conditions favoring Blueberry anthracnose fruit rot disease incidence and development can be difficult to predict, and it can significantly impact yield under conducive weather patterns. For that reason, the authors of this new 6-page publication of the UF/IFAS Plant Pathology Department developed and validated a web-based disease alert system for blueberry AFR, the Blueberry Advisory System (BAS), to help blueberry growers in Florida identify weather conditions favorable for the disease and improve disease management.
