What Is a Wireless Sensor Network?

Clyde Fraisse, Janise McNair, and Thiago 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.

The Strawberry Advisory System: A Web-Based Decision Support Tool for Timing Fungicide Applications in Strawberry

Smartirrigation Apps: Urban Turf

Haimanote K. Bayabil, K. W. Migliaccio, J. H. Debastiani Andreis, C. Fraisse, K. T. Morgan, and G. 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.

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

Jonathan H. Crane, Bruce Schaffer, Young Gu Her, Haimanote Bayabil, Jeff Wasielewski, and Clyde 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.

Getting Started with Enterprise Budgets and Sensitivity Analysis

Samantha Snyder, Hope Nelson, Suzanne Thornsbury, and Clyde 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.

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

André B. Gama, Douglas A. Phillips, Vinícius A. Cerbaro, Phillip F. Harmon, Clyde W. Fraisse, and Natalia 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. Written by André B. Gama, Douglas A. Phillips, Vinícius A. Cerbaro, Phillip F. Harmon, Clyde W. Fraisse, and Natalia A. Peres.
