TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENHANCING PECAN PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING
This paper summarizes research at Oklahoma State University (OSU) to develop innovative technologies that provide solutions to issues and problems affecting pecan production and processing.
Some of the projects areas include;
- Pecan yield estimation technique using backscattered terrestrial microwave sensing.
- Dielectric spectroscopy for estimating quality of in-shell pecans.
- Wireless image sensor networks in estimating the population of pecan weevils.
- Low-cost small-scale sanitizer for in-shell pecans.
- Optical sensors and algorithms that adequately predict plant N status for nitrogen management.
- X-ray machine vision inspection systems for pecan defect identification.
