1. Towards Precision MicrobiologyIn the recent years, the use of organic matter (OM) and microorganisms is increasing beyond organic agriculture, into conventional horticultural systems, in order to achieve high yields and quality through a more sustainable soil management. Thus, Integrated Nutrient Management (INM), that includes the use of diagnostic tools, high quality OM, microbial inoculants, highly-efficient fertilizer, and site-specific management in gaining space in intensive production systems. Precision microbiology... V. Gutiérrez, R. Ortega |
2. Identifying Critical Landscape Areas for Precision Conservation in the Minnesota River BasinThe Minnesota River Basin generates a disproportionately high amount of total suspended sediments to the Upper Mississippi River Basin. Many reaches in the Minnesota River Basin have impaired water quality due to turbidity. Critical landscapes can be divided into depressional areas, riparian areas, highly erodible lands, and areas susceptible to ephemeral gullies or ravines. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) were utilized, and terrain analysis was conducted using digital elevation models in... J. Galzki, J. Nelson, D. Mulla |
3. Using UAV Imagery for Crop AnalyticsUAV imagery was collected in April and July of 2017 over a grape vineyard in California’s San Joaquin Valley. Using spectral signatures, a landcover classification was performed to isolate table grapes from the background vegetation and soil. A novel vegetation index was developed based off the unique spectral characteristics of the yellowing effects of chlorosis within the table grape vines. Spatial statistics were run only on the pixels containing grape plants, and a relative vegetation... C. Adams, A. Coates |
