1. Evaluation Of A Controlled Release N-P Fertilizer Using A Modified Drill For Variable Rate FertilizationBase NP or NPK fertilization is a common practice in cereal production in Chile. Usually, a physical NPK blend is band applied with the seed at planting with the drill. Normal fertilizer rates vary from 400 to 500 kg ha-1; however, there is a tendency in the market to move from physical blend towards chemical blends (monogranule) and, more recently, to controlled release fertilizers (CRF). The CRF are usually recommended at very low rates, varying from 70 to 120 kg ha-1, however this rates are... R.A. Ortega, J.F. Reyes, W. Esquivel, J. Orellana |
2. Toward Geopolitical-Context-Enabled Interoperability in Precision Agriculture: AgGateway's SPADE, PAIL, WAVE, CART and ADAPTAgGateway is a nonprofit consortium of 240+ businesses working to promote, enable and expand eAgriculture. It provides a non-competitive collaborative environment, transparent funding and governance models, and anti-trust and intellectual property policies that guide and protect members’ contributions and implementations. AgGateway primarily focuses on implementing existing standards and collaborating with other organizations to extend them when necessary. In 2010 AgGateway identified... R. Ferreyra, D.B.

3. Estimating Soil Carbon Stocks with In-field Visible and Near-infrared SpectroscopyAgricultural lands can be a sink for carbon and play an important role in offsetting carbon emissions. Current methods of measuring carbon sequestration—through repeated temporal soil samples—are costly and laborious. A promising alternative is using visible, near-infrared (VNIR) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. However, VNIR data are complex, which requires several data processing steps and often yields inconsistent results, especially when using in situ VNIR measurements. Using... C.J. Ransom, C.

4. Assessing the Potential of Sentinel-1 in Retrieving Mango Phenology and Investigating Its Relation to Weather in Southern GhanaThe rise in global production of horticultural tree crops over the past few decades is driving technology-based innovation and research to promote productivity and efficiency. Although mango production is on the rise, application of the remote sensing technology is generally limited and the available study on retrieving mango phenology stages specifically, was focused on the application of optical data. We therefore sought to answer the questions; (1) can key phenology stages of mango be retrieved... B.A. Torgbor, M.M. Rahman, A. Robson, J. Brinkhoff |
5. On-farm Evaluation of a Satellite Remote Sensing-based Precision Nitrogen Management StrategyImproper management of nitrogen (N) fertilizers in the cropping systems of the U.S. Midwest has resulted in significant N leaching into the Mississippi River Basin that flows to the Gulf of Mexico. The majority of the U.S. Midwest states need to develop a plan for a nutrient loss reduction strategy to decrease N and phosphorous loadings into waters and the Gulf of Mexico by 45% by 2050. In Minnesota, high nitrate concentration and loads have not been significantly reduced in surface and ground... J. Lu, Y. Miao, C.J. Ransom, F. Fernández |
