1. Spectral Discrimination Of Early Dchinochloa Crasgalli And Echinochloa Crusgalli In Corn And Soybean By Using Support Vector MachinesThe key to realize precise chemical application is weed identification. This paper introduces a kind of multi-classification mode based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) and one-against-one-algorithm for weed seedlings (Dchinochloa crasgalli, and Echinochloa crusgalli) in corn and soybean fields. A handheld FieldSpec® 3 Spectroradiometer manufactured by ASD Inc., in USA was used to measure the spectroscopic data of the canopies of the seedlings of corn, soy... W. Deng, G. Wu |

3. Development Of A System For Site-specific Nematicide Placement In CottonNematode distribution varies significantly in cotton fields. Population density throughout a field is highly correlated to soil texture. Field-wide application of a uniform nematicide rate results in the chemical being applied to areas without nematodes or where nematode densities are below an economic threshold, or the application of sub-effective levels in areas with high nematode densities. The investigators have developed a “Site- Specific Nematicide Placement”... A. Khalilian, W. Henderson, J. Mueller, T. Kirkpatrick, S. Monfort, C. Overstreet |
4. A Clustering Approach For Management Zone Delineation In Precision AgricultureIn recent years, an increasing amount of research has been devoted to the delineation of management zones. There have been quite a number of approaches towards using small-scale data for subdividing the field into a small number of zones, usually three or four. However, these zones are usually static, often require multi-year data sets and are based on low-resolution sampling methods for data acquisition. Furthermore, existing research into th... G. Ru, M.

12. Spatial Variability Of Measured Soil Properties Across Site- Specific Management ZonesThe spatial variation of productivity across farm fields can be classified by delineating site-specific management zones. Since productivity is influenced by soil characteristics, the spatial pattern of productivity could be caused by a corresponding variation in certain soil properties. Determining the source of variation in productivity can help achieve more effective site-specific management, the objectives of this study were (i) to characterize the spatial variability of soil physical pro...

13. Spatial-temporal Management Zones For Biomass MoistureBiomass handling operations (harvesting, raking, collection, and transportation) are critical operations within the agricultural production system since they constitute the first link in the biomass supply chain, a fact of substantial importance considering the increasingly involvement of biomass in bio-refinery and bio-energy procedures. Nevertheless, the inherent uncertainty, imposed by the interaction between environmental, biological, and machinery factors, makes the available sched... S. Fountas, D. Bochtis, C. Sorensen, O.

Interaction Between Air Spray Drift And Climatic Conditions Creating Drift Map Related To The Aerial Application Of Pesticides Using Low Volumes In BrazilBetween 30 to 50% of the pesticides total applied over agricultural areas can be lost by the air, depending of the applying conditions, by the spray drift action. This spray drift problem is increased when the field is too close to the urban locations, bringing environmental contamination, and when the application is made with oil on the tank mixture. The society demands ... F. Baio, U. Antuniassi |

17. Assessment Of The Success Of Variable Rate Seeding Based On EMI MapsGood plant establishment is the critical first step in growing a crop. To achieve this, the correct seed rate must be calculate. This is done by assessing the optimum target plant population per m² and then making an estimate of any losses over winter. Losses will depend on the quality of seedbed created which is related to texture, stoniness and compaction of the soil. If there is any variation in these field characteristics then the correct see... S. Griffin, M. Darr |
18. Spatio-temporal Analysis Of Atrazine Degradation And Associated Attributes In Eastern Colorado SoilsAtrazine catabolism is an example of a rapidly evolved soil microbial adaptation. In the last 20 years, atrazine-degrading bacteria have become globally distributed, and many soils have developed enhanced capacities to degrade atrazine, reducing its half-life from 60 to a few days or less. While the presence of atrazine-degrading bacteria determine a soil's potential to catabolize at... M. Stromberger, R. Khosla, D. Shaner, D. Zach |
19. Validation Of On-the-go Soil Ph-measurements – Primary Results From GermanyUntil recently in-field variability for soil pH could not be considered for agronomic decisions (e.g. liming rates) because reliable spatial information was hardly available. The required density of soil pH-measurements could not be achieved by manual soil sampling due to time constraints and analysis costs for the vast number of samples. A compreh... H. Olfs, D.

24. Site-specific Phosphorus And Potassium Fertilization Of Alfalfa: Fertilizer Usage And Sampling Density ComparisonAlfalfa accounts for the largest cropping area in both the High Desert and Intermountain regions in California, and the use of site-specific management (SSM) can potentially improve farmers’ fertilization practices and crop nutritional status. These areas have limited to no studies regarding nutrient SSM, and variable rate (VR) fertilizer application has not been commonly used by farmers in either area. Considerable range of soil nutrient levels have... A. Biscaro, S. Orloff |
25. Impact Of Winter Grazing On Forage Biomass Topography Soil Strength Spatial RelationshipsSpatial relationships between soil properties, forage productivity, and landscape can be used to manage site-specific grazing. Soil penetration resistance and forage biomass were collected for three years in winter grazing experiment. The three ha experimental area was divided into six paddocks, hay was cut twice per year in the months of May and June, and forage stockpiled after the second cutting. Animals were admitted to paddocks at the end of November, at a stocking r... E.M. Pena-yewtukhiw, D. Mata-padrino, W. Bryan |
26. Spatial Variability Of Spikelet Sterility In Temperate Rice In ChileSpikelet sterility (blanking) causes large economic losses to rice farmers in Chile. The most common varieties are susceptible to low air and water temperatures during pollen formation and flowering, which is the main responsible for the large year to year variation observed in terms of blanking and, therefore, of grain yield. The present work had for objective to study the spatial variability of spikelet sterility within two rice fields, during two consecutive seasons, and relate it to water... R.A. Ortega, D.E.

27. Spatial And Temporal Changes In Atrazine Degradation Rates In SoilAtrazine is a widely used soil-applied herbicide to control many broadleaf and grassy weeds in corn, sugarcane, and non-cropland areas. Atrazine is also found as a contaminant in surface and ground water. One of the strengths and weaknesses of atrazine has been the long residual activity in the soil that provides good weed control but also increases the leaching of the herbicide. In the las... D.

28. Measuring Multi-depth Soil Moisture Content In A Vertisol Soils With EM38Over the years, electromagnetic induction sensors, such as EM38, have been used to monitor soil salinity or local electrical conductivity (ECa) and their output has been instrumented in establishing models for depth profiling of ECa. In the previous work both the forward propagation and inverse matrix approaches offered potential to produce depth profiles of soil ECa. However, it remains a question whether EM38 is able to measure v in different depths. This present study concerns itse... B. Hossain |

31. Grassland System Impacts on Spatial Variability of Soil Phosphorus in Eastern CanadaPhosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plants, including grasslands. However, continuous applications of P fertilizer result in P accumulations in the soil, increasing the risk of P losses through runoff and erosion. Since 2008, more than 31 million tonnes of organic fertilizers, representing more than 95,000 tonnes of P2O5, were applied to agricultural fields in Eastern Canada. Thus, grassland systems were fertilized intensively using organic fertilizers with high ... J.D. Nze memiaghe, A. Cambouris |
