Data-oriented studies in precision agriculture and in pest dynamics

Speaker: Dr. Yafit Cohen, Research scientist, Volcani Institute

Seminar Title: Data-oriented studies in precision agriculture and in pest dynamics

Moderator: Jo Savill, University of Queensland

Dr. Yafit Cohen specialises in precision agriculture, including:
a) Fusion of thermal and hyperspectral imagery for monitoring and mapping water status in various crops and orchards;
b) Spatio-spectral analysis of thermal and hyperspectral imagery for management zones delineation
c) The effect of precision irrigation on yield parameters and water use efficiency (vineyard, cotton, peach)

She also works on: 

• Spatio-temporal analysis of pests and diseases dispersion: Medfly, Red palm weevil, Olive fly, Heliothis, leaf-roll virus in grapevine and soil-borne diseases in potato.
• Development of spatial decision support systems for pest control.
• Development of automatic trap for Medfly monitoring
