1. Use Of Active Radiometers To Estimate Biomass, Leaf Area Index, And Plant Height In CottonActive radiometers have been tested extensively as tools to assess in-season nitrogen (N) status of crops like wheat (Triticum aestivum), corn (Zea mays), and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). Fewer studies target in-season plant growth parameters such as biomass, plant height or leaf area index (LAI). Uses of this plant data include simulation modeling, total N uptake measurements, evapotranspiration (ET) estimates and irrigation... K.R. Thorp, J.W. White, M.M. Conley, J. Mon, K.F. Bronson |
2. Automated Segmentation and Classification of Land Use from Overhead ImageryReliable land cover or habitat maps are an important component of any long-term landscape planning initiatives relying on current and past land use. Particularly in regions where sustainable management of natural resources is a goal, high spatial resolution habitat maps over large areas will give guidance in land-use management. We propose a computational approach to identify habitats based on the automated analysis of overhead imagery. Ultimately, this approach could be used to assist experts,... C. Pradalier, A.

3. An Efficient Data Warehouse for Crop Yield PredictionNowadays, precision agriculture combined with modern information and communications technologies, is becoming more common in agricultural activities such as automated irrigation systems, precision planting, variable rate applications of nutrients and pesticides, and agricultural decision support systems. In the latter, crop management data analysis, based on machine learning and data mining, focuses mainly on how to efficiently forecast and improve crop yield. In recent years, raw and semi-processed... V.M. Ngo, N. Le-khac, M. Kechadi |
4. Soil Moisture Variability on Golf Course Fairways Across the United States: an Opportunity for Water Conservation with Precision IrrigationFairways account for an average of 11.3 irrigated hectares on each of the 15,000+ golf courses in the US. Annual median water use per hectare on fairways is between ~2,800,000 and 14,000,000 liters, depending on the region. Conventional fairway irrigation relies on visual observation of the turfgrass, followed by secondary considerations of short-term weather forecasts, which oftentimes lead to “blanket” applications to the entire area. The concept of precision irrigation is a strategy... C. Straw, C. Bolton, J. Young, R. Hejl, J. Friell, E. Watkins |
5. Response of Canola and Wheat to Application of Enhanced Efficiency Nitrogen Fertilizers on Contrasting Management ZonesInvestment on nitrogen (N) fertilizers is a major cost of growers, and variable rate (VR) application of N fertilizers could help optimize its usage. In the growing season of 2023, field experiments were conducted at four sites (i.e., Watrous – Saskatchewan SK and two fields in the vicinity of Strathmore, Alberta AB, Canada). The main objectives were to (i) determine performance of Enhanced Efficiency N Fertilizers - EENF (i.e., Coated urea, urea with double inhibitors - DI, urea mixed with... H. Asgedom, G. Hehar, C.
