1. Assessing Impact Of Precision On Agricultural Energy Requirements: Weed Control Case StudyThe anticipated world population increase demands growth in sustainable food production. The current trend is to use more efficient agricultural processes in order to increase food production. Precision agriculture (PA) technology provides the means to increase equipment productivity and field and input efficiency. The concept of small modular and scalable intelligent machines tries to address the challenge of more productivity with the goal of reduced cost and power. In addition,... S. Brian, O.M. Toledo, L.

2. Using the Adapt-N Model to Inform Policies Promoting the Sustainability of US Maize ProductionMaize (Zea mays L.) production accounts for the largest share of crop land area in the U.S. It is the largest consumer of nitrogen (N) fertilizers but has low N Recovery Efficiency (NRE, the proportion of applied N taken up by the crop). This has resulted in well-documented environmental problems and social costs associated with high reactive N losses associated with maize production. There is a potential to reduce these costs through precision management, i.e., better application timing, use... S. Sela, H. Van-es, E. Mclellan, J. Melkonian, R. Marjerison , K. Constas |
3. Creating Value from On-farm Research: Efields Data Workflow and Management Successes and ChallengesFarm operations today generate a large amount of data that can be difficult to properly manage. This challenge is further compounded when conducting on-farm research. The Ohio State University eFields program partners with farmers to conduct on-farm research and share results in a timely manner. Since 2017, the team has conducted and shared 987 trials across Ohio with the annual number of trials increasing from 45 to 292. This rapid increase has required development of a data workflow that streamlines... J.P. Fulton, D. Wilson, R. Tietje, E. Hawkins |
