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. Physiological Repsonses Of Corn To Variable Seeding Rates In Landscape-Scale Strip TrialsMany producers now have the capability to vary seeding rates on-the-go. Methods are needed to develop variable rate seeding approaches in corn but require an understanding of the physiological response of corn to soil-landscape and weather conditions. Interplant competition fundamentally differs at varied seeding rate and may affect corn leaf area, transpiration, plant morphology, and assimilate partitioning. Optimizing these physiological effects with optimal seeding rates in a site-specific... D.B. Myers, N.R. Kitchen, K.A. Sudduth, B.J. Leonard |
3. New Innovation Approaches In Precision Farming – The Example Of The Base Fertilization ProcessNowadays, innovations in Precision Farming are mostly bound to further developments and new solution approaches on the technical level. However, for efficient service provision it is important to work on strategies for application of these technologies. To satisfy customers’ demands for highly specialized methods and detailed results collaboration between various companies in service consortiums is often required. In doing so, every company can provide its proven and evidentially effective... J. Friedrich, M. Becker, M.F. Schneider, S. Klingner |
4. Spatial Variability and Correlations Between Soil Attributes and Productivity of Green Corn CropIn Brazil, the progressive development in the cultivation of the corn for consumption in the green stadium stands by the relevant socio-economic role that this related to multiple applications, the attractive market price and continuous demand for the product in nature. Therefore, this study was to analyze the correlations and spatial variability of the productivity of the culture of the green corn in winter, in alluvial soil of the type Cambisols eutrophic in the amount areas and Hydromorphic...

5. An Economic Feasibility Assessment for Adoption of Autonomous Field Machinery in Row Crop ProductionA multi-faceted whole farm planning model was developed to compare conventional and autonomous machinery for grain crop production. Results suggested that autonomous machinery could be an economically viable alternative to conventional manned machinery if the establishment of intelligent controls was cost effective. An increase in net returns of 22% over operating with conventional machinery was found. This study also identified the break-even investment price for intelligent... J.M. Shockley, C. Dillon |
