Another huge effort from the @RiceExtension team pulling together another annual benchmarking report, full of insight into what makes the difference in rice yield and quality. Appreciate opportunity to contribute analyses, dashboards from our @AgriFuturesAU real-time rice project
The CY25 Annual Summary has arrived! A culmination of all the data, projects, insights and activities across the entire season, it's designed to be a valuable resource for anyone in the rice industry. Check it out⬇️ https://t.co/uvgDqYMGx0

CY26 #AustralianRice temperatures are down after a warm start, leading to later PI predictions. GDD is now similar to CY22, not as cold as CY23. Accumulated solar radiation is also down with a fair bit of cloud. @ricegrowers @RiceExtension Figures from new PI predictor app

Thanks to co-authors @HouborgRasmus and @AndyVisionAU. Project support from @AgriFuturesAU, for "Real-time remote sensing-based monitoring for the rice industry". We appreciate our great collaborators, @RiceExtension, @NSW_AgWater, @une_aarsc, @UniNewEngland

The fluctuations were due to variations in solar and sensor angles, atmosphere and S-2A vs S-2B sensor bias on RS time-series. Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) and top of atmosphere (TOA) both had these fluctuations, and both benefited from our new correction methods.

New paper in @IEEE_GRSS JSTARS: "Empirical Correction of Sentinel-2 Time Series Data to Enhance Real-Time Rice Crop Monitoring". We developed ML models to correct fluctuations in satellite time-series to improve real-time crop monitoring. Rice dashboards pre and post correction:

Appreciated the Shoutout from agronomist Meg Brown at 19:30 on the use of our Rice Management Dashboards to optimally manage rice crops (fertilizer, drainage, harvest timing). Cool to hear our technology being applied in practice to improve efficiency and productivity.

New features in the PI predictor: + includes flowering predictions + shows weather observation and forecast data + option to compare phenology for previous years, to help plan for cold-hot seasons + compare accumulated gdd, radiation, rain across seasons Tute vid coming soon!
The PI Predictor has a new look and some helpful additions ahead of the upcoming season. Let us know if you have any questions about how it works or the best way to apply it in CY26 and we'll do our best to get back to you. @jamesbrinkhoff @une_aarsc

The team at @une_aarsc and @jamesbrinkhoff have released an updated PI Predictor tool expanding on capabilities to predict flowering dates and include weather and historical data. Check it out for yourself: https://t.co/TtQltdKNnn

The improvement in #rice #phenology estimation when models use both #remotesensing and #weather features. Congratulations to @une_aarsc PhD student @jhakumarsunil on publishing this paper. More great work to come! @AgriFuturesAU
Excited to share my first research paper as a PhD student! Title: Integrating Remote Sensing & Weather Time Series for Australian Irrigated Rice Phenology Prediction 📎 https://t.co/uVS7XvcsWs

Bright and early at #IGARSS2025, I'm presenting on real-time monitoring of #rice crops, filling gaps in Sentinel-2 optical time-series using Sentinel-1 SAR. 8am in P3

My band OhMaSoul, has just released our first EP! Five tracks from funky stuff, to progressive rock, to neo-soul to soul searching ballad. Have a listen if any of that has the potential to float your boat!

Built @UniNewEngland @une_aarsc! Great to see research and data from @NSW_AgWater @RiceExtension @GrowerService turned into decision support tools that are proving useful for growers. Thanks @AgriFuturesAU for support, and look forward to delivering for #ausrice into the future!

Great article. I know when I force myself to write the methods section of a piece of research I'm working on, it helps me to find weaknesses, make sure it's robust, get it totally clear early in the process. "Writing is thinking"
Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
