1. Economics Of Precision Agriculture For Wheat And Barley Cultivation In Hamedan, Western IranPrecision agriculture can influence agricultural operation economics. In this study, minimum economical farm sizes for producing irrigated/dry wheat and barley in... M. Lak, F. Khosro anjom, J. Tatge |
2. Soil Organic Carbon Maintenance Requiremnets And Mineralizatyion Rate Constants: Site Specific CalcuationsOver the past 100 years numerous studies have been conducted with the goal of quantifying the impact of management on carbon turnover. It is difficult to conduct a mechanistic evaluation of these studies because each study was conducted under unique soil, climatic, and management conditions. Techniques for directly comparing data from unique studies are needed. This study discusses techniques for comparing data collected... D.E. Clay, G. Carlson, J. Tatge |
3. Soil Quality Improvement Through Proper Combination Of Tillage, Nitrogen Fertilization And Cover Cropping SystemsNo-tillage, N fertilization and cover cropping affect physical, chemical and biological qualities of soil. We investigated the effect of 15-yr of tillage systems, N fertilization and cover crops on soil organic matter, aggregation, bulk density and on microbial community in the sandy loam soil of central Italy. The soil in no-tillage (NT) system had 50% more organic matter and 3 folds higher aggregate stability than the soil in conventional tillage (CT) system. The NT system significantly increased... T.B.

4. Development of a Small Tracking Device for Cattle Using IoT TechnologyThe US is the largest producer of beef in the world. Last year alone, it produces nearly 19% of the world’s beef. This translate to about almost $90 billion in economic impact in the country. Aside from being a producer, the US also consumed more than 26 billion pounds of beef which have a retail value of the entire beef industry to more than $74B. For this level of production and consumption, each rancher in the US must produce a herd size of at least 100 or more to sustain the current... J.M. Maja, A.K. Blocker, E.G. Stuckey, S.G. Sell, G.

5. Spatial Decision Support System: Controlled Tile Drainage – Calculate Your BenefitsClimate projection studies suggest that extreme heat waves and floods will become more frequent, affecting future crop yields by 20%-30%, globally. Managing vulnerability and risk begins at the farm level where best management practices can reduce the impacts associated with extreme weather events. A practice that can assist in mitigating the impact of some extreme events is controlled tile drainage (CTD). With CTD, producers use water flow control structures to manage the drainage of water from... A. Kross, G. Kaur, D. Callegari, D. Lapen, M. Sunohara, H. Mcnairn, H. Rudy, L. Van vliet |
6. Evaluation of an Artificial Neural Network Approach for Prediction of Corn and Soybean YieldThe ability to predict crop yield during the growing season is important for crop income, insurance projections and for evaluating food security. Yet, modeling crop yield is challenging because of the complexity of the relationships between crop growth and the interrelated predictor variables. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are useful for such complex systems as they can capture non-linear relationships of data without explicitly knowing the underlying processes. In this study, an ANN-based... A. Kross, G. Kaur, E. Znoj, D. Callegari, M. Sunohara, H. Mcnairn, D. Lapen, H. Rudy, L. Van vliet |
