1. Effect of Urea Application through Drip Irrigation on Yield, Water and Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Summer Bitter GourdBitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) is one of the important vegetable crops grown during summer months in high lands of Lower Gangetic Plains. Crop is very much responsive to water and nutrient but water is limiting in dry summer months. Farmers generally adopt furrow irrigation and hand watering with pitcher for growing this crop. Drip irrigation is... S. Goswami, S. Saha |
2. Regional Usefulness of Nitrogen Management Zone Delineation ToolsIn the Northern Plains of Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota, a number of site-specific tools have been used to delineate nitrogen management zones. A three-year study was conducted using yield mapping, elevation measurements, satellite imagery, aerial Ektochrome® photography, and soil EC to delineate nitrogen management zones and compare these zones to residual fall soil nitrate. At most of the sites, variable-rate N was applied and compared with uniform N application. The site-specific... D. Franzen, F. Casey, J. Staricka, D. Long, J. Lamb, A. Sims, M. Halvorson, V. Hofman |
3. The Spread of Precision Livestock Farming Technology at Dairy Farms in East HungaryDuring the survey, 25 dairy farms were examined in East Hungary in Hajdú-Bihar (H-B) County between 2017 and 2018 by methodical observation and oral interviews with the farm managers, about the spread of Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) technologies. Among Holstein Friesian dairy farms in the County 60% were questioned, and the representativity was above 47 percent ins each size category. Nine precision farming equipment were examined on the farms: milking robot or robotic carousel milking... C. Nándor, T. Rátonyi, E. Harsányi, P. Ragán, Z. Hagymássy, J. Nagy, A. Vántus |
4. Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle with Multispectral with RGB Sensors to Analyze Canola Yield in the Canadian PrairiesIn 2017 canola was planted on 9 million hectares in Canada surpassing wheat as the most widely planted crop in Canada. Saskatchewan is the dominant producer with nearly 5 million hectares planted in 2017. This crop, seen both as one of the highest-yielding and most profitable, is also one of most expensive and input-intensive for producers on the Canadian Prairies. In this study, the effect of natural and planted shelterbelts on canola yield was compared with canola yield... K. Hodge, L. Bainard, A. Smith, F. Akhter |
