1. The Use Of A Multirotor And High-Resolution Imaging For Precision Horticulture In Chile: An Industry PerspectiveAs part of the prototype development of a yield forecasting and precision agriculture service for Chilean horticulture, we evaluated the use of an eight-rotor Mikrokopter for high-resolution aerial imaging to support ground-based surveys. Specific considerations for UAV and communications performance under Chilean conditions are windy conditions, limited space for take-off and landing in orchards, tree height and plantation density, and the presence of high metal contents in soils. We discuss... I. Zamora, D. Wulfsohn |
2. Estimating Water and Nitrogen Deficiency in Corn Using a Multi-parameter Proximal SensorThe Crop Circle Phenom (CCP) is an innovative integrated proximal sensor that can be potentially used to perform in-season diagnosis of nitrogen and water status. In addition to measuring spectral reflectance in several bands including the red, red edge, and near-infrared wavelengths, the CCP can also measure canopy and air temperatures and provides several parameters that can be associated with chlorophyll content, crop vigor, and water status. These capabilities differentiate the CCP from other... L. Lacerda, Y. Miao, V. Sharma, A. E. flores, A. Kechchour, J. Lu |
3. In-season Diagnosis of Corn Nitrogen and Water Status Using UAV Multispectral and Thermal Remote SensingFor irrigated corn fields, how to optimize nitrogen (N) and irrigation simultaneously is a great challenge. A promising strategy is to use remote sensing to diagnose corn N and water status during the growing season, which can then be used to guide in-season variable rate N application and irrigation management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of UAV multispectral and thermal remote sensing in simultaneous diagnosis of corn N and water status. Two field experiments... Y.

4. On-farm Evaluation of the Potential Benefits of Variable Rate Seeding for Corn in MinnesotaMany farmers in Minnesota are interested in adopting variable rate seeding technology for corn, however, little has been reported about their potential benefits. The objectives of this study were to 1) determine within-field variability of optimal seeding rates, and 2) evaluate the potential benefits of variable rate seeding in commercial corn fields in Minnesota. Four on-farm variable rate seeding trials were conducted in Minnesota in 2022 and 2023, with seeding rates ranging from 31,000 to 41,000... Y. Miao, A. Kechchour, S. Folle, K. Mizuta |
5. Integration of Post Emergence Herbicide (PoE) with Nano-urea for Optimized Management of Weed in Indian Black Mustard (Brassica Juncea L.)Nano-urea (NU) is gaining attention due to its environmental benefits and precise application. Unlike traditional urea fertilizers, NU is engineered at the nanoscale, which increases its efficiency and reduces environmental impacts. However, limited research has been done to evaluate the combined effect of herbicides and NU. Therefore, the overarching goal of our study is to conduct field trials to understand the optimization rates of the synergized composition of herbicide and NU. Our hypothesis... B. Duary, U.
