1. A Multi Sensor Data Fusion Approach for Creating Variable Depth Tillage Zones.Efficiency of tillage depends largely on the nature of the field, soil type, spatial distribution of soil properties and the correct setting of the tillage implement. However, current tillage practice is often implemented without full understanding of machine design and capability leading to lowered efficiency and further potential damage to the soil structure. By modifying the physical properties of soil only where the tillage is needed for optimum crop growth, variable depth tillage (VDT)... D. Whattoff, D. Mouazen, D. Waine |
2. Precision Agriculture for Small Farm HoldersPrecision Agriculture is a data-based decision making farming process taking in-field variability into consideration. It uses multiple advance tools and technologies like GPS, GIS, VRT and provides substantial value in terms of minimizing input and maximizing profit to farmers in regions like Canada, North America who have larger land holding capacity. Precision agriculture technologies require significant investment in terms of capital which is most of the time not feasible for farmers with small... P. Bharatiya, M. Kale |
3. Can Unreplicated Strip Trials Be Used in Precision On-Farm Experiments?On-farm experiments are used to evaluate a wide variety of products ranging from pesticide and fertilizer rates to the installation of tile drainage. The experimental design for these experiments is usually replicated strip trials. Replication of strip trials is used to estimate experimental error, which is the basis for judging statistical significance of treatment effects. Another consideration for using strip trials is greater within-field variability than smaller fields used... G. Hatfield, G. Reicks, E. Carter |
