1. Precision Nitrogen Management and Global Nitrogen Use EfficiencyTraditionally, nitrogen (N) fertilizers have been applied uniformly across entire field while ignoring inherent spatial variation in crop N needs across crop fields. This results in either too little or too much application of N in various parts of the fields.... M. Gupta, R. Khosla |
2. Design And Experiment On Target Spraying Robot For GreenhouseIn greenhouse, the robot sprayers give rise to concern as they reduce the labor intensity and improve the accuracy of the spraying. This paper details the progress to date in the development of a precision robot sprayer. The precision robot sprayer is able to adjust both liquid and air volume to match, the branches contour and location of the greenhouse crops with two ultrasonic sensors which ensures the position of the plants in the greenhouse. The spraying robot with the... W. Ma, C. Zhao, Q.U. Zaman, D. Zach |
3. 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 atrazine,... M. Stromberger, R. Khosla, D. Shaner, D. Zach |
4. Detection Of Fruit Tree Water Status In Orchards From Remote Sensing Thermal ImageryIn deciduous fruit trees there is a growing need of using water status indicators for scheduling irrigation and adopt regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) strategies taking into account spatial variability of orchards. RDI strategies have been successfully adopted for many fruit trees as a means for reducing water use and because yield and quality at harvest are not sensitive to water stress at some developmental stages. Although water status is generally monitored by measuring tree... P.J. Zarco-tejada, V. Gonzalez-dugo, J. Girona, E. Fereres, J. Bellvert |
5. Study On The Automatic Monitoring Technology For Fuji Fruit Color Based On Machine VisionFruit color is one of the important indicators of quality and commodities. Three kinds of the traditional methods are used to evaluate fruit color, including artificial visual identification, fruit standard color cards and color measurement instrument. These methods are needed to be conducted in the field by persons, which are time-consuming and labored, and also difficult to obtain the dynamic color information of the target fruits in the growth process. This study developed... M. Chen, M. Li, J. Qian, W. Li, Y. Wang, Y. Zhang, X. Yang |
