• Subject: Methods for pre-treatment and zoning of intra-parcel yield data to conduct a fertilizer balance by zone
• Funding: Cifre PhD (Invivo - SMAG)
• Thesis supervisor: Bruno Tisseyre
• Co-supervision: Bruno Tisseyre et Hazaël Jones
• Partners: SMAG, InVivo, Defisol, Montpellier SupAgro
• Description: Performance data from sensors on combine harvesters were the first information available in precision farming. These sensors have been used in combine harvesters since the early 1990s. Combined with the GNSS localisation of the machines, they make it possible to produce high spatial resolution yield maps. Time series of high spatial resolution yield data are now available on a large number of fields. These time series of yield maps are a source of information to characterize the spatial variability of the yield and to make possible decisions for the management and/or piloting of the crop implemented the following year. These data are nowadays under-utilized by professionals (farmers, consultants, etc.).
  
  How can we propose a method of zoning yield data that allows us to integrate the available agronomic expertise?
  
  This question mobilizes the doctoral student's expertise on several levels:
  1. how to pre-process and ensure the reliability of yield data,
  2. how to consider operational constraints related to the implementation of the recommendation?
  The aim will be to propose a general method which will be applied in the framework of this work to carry out a fertilizer balance by zone. The objective will therefore be to propose a provisional fertilisation plan for each area.

• Subject: Design and evaluation of an methodology to estimate grapevine yield under different management conditions using historical measurements of vine yield and ancillary information
• Thesis supervisor: Bruno Tisseyre, Cesar Acevedo-opazo

• Description: In recent years, competitiveness of wine industry has become of paramount importance for local vinegrowers. The Design and developpment of vineyard management tools that optimize resources and agricultural operations are one key factor to improve competitiveness. These management tools aim at mitigate the significant increase observed in production costs (manpower and machinery). In this context, early estimation of grape yield is an important task for any vinegrower for logistical and scheduling issues such as harvest organisation, storage and cooling facilities and also sell it on the market.
  This study involves two complementary stages of work: (i) to investigate the use of different sampling method and their result on a significant data base, (ii) to propose a practical methodology based on the historical vine yield data and the expected temporal stability of yield variability at the within field level in order to optimize sampling and then, (iii) spatial ancillary information (like airborne imagery, elevation, soil apparent conducitivity, etc. at a high spatial resolution) to model the spatial variability of the field and its relation with the spatial variability of the vegetative growth and yield.
