1. Within-field Profitability Assessment: Impact of Weather, Field Management and SoilsProfitability in crop production is largely driven by crop yield, production costs and commodity prices. The objective of this study was to quantify the often substantial yet somewhat illusive impact of weather, management, and soil spatial variability on within-field profitability in corn and soybean crop production using profitability indices for profit (net return) and return-on-investment (ROI) to produce estimates. We analyzed yield and cropping system data provided by 42 farmers within Central... P.M. Kyveryga, S. Fey, J. Connor, A. Kiel, D. Muth |
2. The Guelph Plot Analyzer: Semi-Automatic Extraction of Small-Plot Research Data from Aerial ImagerySmall-plot trials are the foundation of open-field agricultural research because they strike a balance between the control of an artificial environment and the realism of field-scale production. However, the size and scope of this research field is often limited by the ability to collect data, which is limited by access to labour. Remote sensing has long been investigated to allocate labour more efficiently, therefore enabling the rapid collection of data. Imagery collected by unmanned aerial... J. Nederend, D. Drover, B.
