1. Spatial-temporal Management Zones For Biomass MoistureBiomass handling operations (harvesting, raking, collection, and transportation) are critical operations within the agricultural production system since they constitute the first link in the biomass supply chain, a fact of substantial importance considering the increasingly involvement of biomass in bio-refinery and bio-energy procedures. Nevertheless, the inherent uncertainty, imposed by the interaction between environmental, biological, and machinery factors, makes the available scheduling... S. Fountas, D. Bochtis, C. Sorensen, O.

2. Challenges and Successes when Generating In-season Multi-temporal Calibrated Aerial ImageryDigital aerial imagery (DAI) of the crop canopy collected by aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles is the yardstick of precision agriculture. However, the quantitative use of this imagery is often limited by its variable characteristics, low quality, and lack of radiometric calibration. To increase the quality and utility of using DAI in crop management, it is important to evaluate and address these limitations of DAI. Even though there have been improvements in spatial resolution... P.M. Kyveryga, J. Pritsolas, J. Connor, R. Pearson |
3. Field-scale Nitrogen Recommendation Tools for Improving a Canopy Reflectance Sensor AlgorithmNitrogen (N) rate recommendation tools are utilized to help producers maximize grain yield production. Many of these tools provide recommendations at field scales but often fail when corn N requirements are variable across the field. This may result in excess N being lost to the environment or producers receiving decreased economic returns on yield. Canopy reflectance sensors are capable of capturing within-field variability, although the sensor algorithm recommendations may not always be as accurate... C.J. Ransom, M. Bean, N. Kitchen, J. Camberato, P. Carter, R. Ferguson, F. Fernandez, D. Franzen, C. Laboski, E. Nafziger, J. Sawyer, J. Shanahan |
4. Overcoming Educational Barriers for Precision Agriculture Adoption: a University Diploma in Precision Agriculture in ArgentinaThe lack of educational programs in Precision Agriculture (PA) has been reported as one of the barriers for adoption. Our goal was to improve professional competence in PA through education in crop variability, management, and effective practices of PA in real cases. In the last 20 years different efforts has been made in Argentina to increase adoption of PA. The Universidad Nacional de Rio Cuarto (UNRC) launched in 2021 the first University Diploma in PA, a 9-month program to train agronomist... G. Balboa, A. Degioanni, R. Bongiovanni, R. Melchiori, C.
