1. From Rapideye's Spad In The Sky To N Application Maps... R. Schulthess, K. Schelling, D. Weist |
2. Development Of Batch Type Yield Monitor For Small FieldsAbstract The yield monitor is intended to give the user an accurate assessment of yield variations y within a field. A yield monitor can assist grain producers in many aspects of crop management. A yield monitor by itself can provide useful information and enhance on-farm research. Yield data can... M. Singh, A. Sharma, G. Singh, P. Fixen |
3. An Overview of Soil Carbon, Management, and Agricultural SystemsTopics to be covered include a discussion of what soil carbon sequestration is, how and where in the soil it occurs, and its role in maintaining important soil properties. The author draws upon his experience and that of others about practices for various parts of the US to describe on-farm and experimental agricultural systems and their degree of success to sequester carbon and improve soil quality. Included is an overview of carbon sequestration strategies and possible... R. Follett, E. Short |
4. Precision Design Of Vegetative BuffersPrecision agriculture techniques can be applied at field margins to improve performance of water quality protection practices. Effectiveness of vegetative buffers, conventionally designed to have uniform width along field margins, is limited by spatially non-uniform runoff from fields. Effectiveness can be improved by placing relatively wider buffer at locations where loads are greater. A GIS tool was developed that accounts for non-uniform flow and produces more-effective, variable-width,... T. Mueller, S. Neelakantan, M. Helmers, M. Dosskey |
5. Practical and Affordable Technologies for Precision Agriculture in Small Fields: Present Status and Scope in IndiaThe objective of this review paper is to find out practical and affordable precision agriculture(PA) technologies present status and scope in India that are suitable for small fields. The judicious use of inputs like water, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and better management of farm equipments will increase the net profit for farmers. The important components of PA in India which are being used for small lands are Geographic Information System(GIS), laser land leveler, leaf color chart,... S. Kumar, M. Singh, H.

6. Delineation of 'Management Classes' Within Non-Irrigated Maize Fields Using Readily Available Reflectance Data and Their Correspondence to Spatial Yield VariationMaize is grown predominantly for silage or gain in North Island, New Zealand. Precision agriculture allows management of spatially variable paddocks by variably applying crop inputs tailored to distinctive potential-yield limiting areas of the paddock, known as management zones. However, uptake of precision agriculture among in New Zealand maize growers is slow and limited, largely due to lack of data, technical expertise and evidence of financial benefits. Reflectance data of satellite and areal... D.C. Ekanayake, J. Owens, A. Werner, A. Holmes |
7. Spray Deposition and Efficacy of Pesticide Applications with Spray Drones in Row Crops in the Southeastern USThe use of spray drones for pesticide applications is expanding rapidly in agriculture, with one of the top uses currently being in the row crop production. Several research studies were undertaken in 2022 and 2023 to measure and assess spray deposition and efficacy of pesticides applied with spray drones in the major row crops (corn, cotton and peanuts) grown in the southeastern US. These studies also evaluated and compared the deposition and pesticide efficacy of spray drones with traditional... C. Byers, R. Meena, J. Kichler, R.C. Kemerait, L. Hand, S. Virk |
8. Current Status and Potential of Digital Agriculture in IndiaIndian agriculture is facing multiple challenges, including climate change, resource depletion, low productivity growth, high post-harvest losses etc. To address these, a strong push toward digital and smart farming is underway. The Government of India has launched major initiatives such as the Digital Agriculture Mission, Digital India Programme, and targeted funding for AI, Machine Learning, and cyber security to support agricultural innovation. The focus is on building Digital Public... M. Singh |
