1. Spatial and Temporal Variability of Corn Grain Yield as a Function of Soil Parameters, and Climate FactorsEffective site-specific management requires an understanding the influence of soil and weather on yield variability. Our objective was to examine the influence of soil, precipitation, and temperature on spatial and temporal corn grain yield variability. The study site (10 by 250 -m in size) was located in Jaboticabal, São Paulo State, on a Rhodic Hapludox. Corn yield (planted with 0.9-m spacing) was measured... T. Mueller, J. Corá, A.

2. On-The-Go pH Sensor: An Evaluation in a Kentucky FieldA commercially available on-the-go soil pH sensor measures and maps subsurface soil pH at high spatial intensities across managed landscapes. The overall purpose of this project was to evaluate the potential for this sensor to be used in agricultural fields. The specific goals were to determine and evaluate 1) the accuracy with which this instrument can be calibrated, 2) the geospatial structure of soil pH measurements,... T. Mueller, E. Gianello, B.

3. First Results Of Development Of A Smart Farm In The NetherlandsGNSS technology has been introduced on about 20 % of the Dutch arable farms in The Netherlands today. Use of sensor technology is also slowly but gradually being adopted by farmers, providing them large amounts of digital data on soil, crop and climate conditions. Typical data are spatial variation in soil organic matter, crop biomass, crop yield, and presence of pests and diseases. We still have to make major steps to use all this data in a way that agriculture becomes more sustainable. We... T. Feher, C. Kocks, C. Kempenaar, K. Westerdijk |
4. Closing Yield Gaps with GxExM and Precision AgricultureThere are many challenges to be faced by agriculture if the global population of nine billion people projected for 2050 is to be fed and clothed, especially given the effects of changing climate. A focus on the interactions of genetics x environment x management (GxExM) offers potential for meeting the yield, and environment and economic sustainability goals that are integral to these challenges. The yield gap –defined as the difference between current farmer yields and potential... C. Walthall, J. Hatfield, S. Schneider, M. Vigil |
5. Affordable Telematics System for Recording and Monitoring Operational Data in Crop FarmingThe aim of this research was to create an affordable telematics system for agricultural tractors for enhancing existing data logging capabilities. This system enables real-time transmission of operational data from the tractor's CAN bus to a server for storage, monitoring, and further analysis. By leveraging standardized communication protocols like ISO 11783 and J1939, operational data such as fuel consumption and engine load can be easily monitored. The system was built around a Raspberry... A. Lajunen, H. Hovio |
