1. Use Of Active Radiometers To Estimate Biomass, Leaf Area Index, And Plant Height In CottonActive radiometers have been tested extensively as tools to assess in-season nitrogen (N) status of crops like wheat (Triticum aestivum), corn (Zea mays), and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). Fewer studies target in-season plant growth parameters such as biomass, plant height or leaf area index (LAI). Uses of this plant data include simulation modeling, total N uptake measurements, evapotranspiration (ET) estimates and irrigation... K.R. Thorp, J.W. White, M.M. Conley, J. Mon, K.F. Bronson |
2. Evaluation of a Seed-fertilizer Application System Using a Laser ScannerThe system evaluated is a design that combines planter and sprayer technologies to allow clients to plant crops while simultaneously spraying initial fertilizer on or in close proximity to the seed. The system is an idea Capstan Ag Systems has been pursuing for around 15 years, and has recently been revived in a partnership with Great Plains Manufacturing Company. Great Plains Manufacturing released the final product under the name AccushotTM at the 2015... P. Weckler, N. Wang, C. Zhai, L. Zhang, B. Luo, J. Long, R. Taylor |
3. Development of Sensor Reflection Indices To Predict Yield And Protein Content Based On In-Season N StatusEnvironmental and economic demands make it necessary for farmers to adopt management systems that improve Nitrogen Use Efficiency. The premium paid to producers has made farmers striving for maximum grain protein levels because protein is a very important quality component of grains and an important attribute in the market place. The protein content of wheat grains approximately ranges from 8 to 20%. The optimization of nitrogen (N) fertilization is the object of intense research efforts... U. Yegul, B. Talebpour, U.

4. The Review of Studying and Using Advanced Technologies for Site Specific Management in Konya, TurkeyUsing advanced (information) technologies in agriculture is increasing rapidly especially in the developed countries such as USA, Japan, and some members of EU. Advanced technologies in agriculture are mostly based on sensors. Site specific management is a form of agricultural management, which is governed by optimum use of variables. Input such as chemical, water, and seed in agricultural production can be managed by using the technologies. Geographic information systems (GIS), Global Position... K. Pecker, F.M. Botsali, A.

5. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for Mitigating Bird Damage in Wine GrapesBird predation is a significant problem in high-value fruit crops, such as apples, cherries, blueberries, and wine grapes. Conventional methods such as netting, falconry, auditory scaring devices, lethal shooting, and visual scare devices are reported to be ineffective, costly, and/or difficult to manage. Therefore, farmers are in need of more effective and affordable bird control methods. In this study, two UAS wasused as a bird-deterring agent in a commercial vineyard. The experimental... S.
