1. Pesticide Drift Control with Wireless Sensor NetworksPrecision Agriculture is an agricultural practice that uses technology based on the principle of variability. The geographically referenced data implement the process of agricultural automation so as to dose fertilizers and pesticides. The efficient application of low cost pesticides without contamination the environment is an agricultural production challenge. The main effect to be avoided during application is pesticide drift. To minimize it is important to know the environmental conditions,... C.E. Cugnasca, I.M. Santos |
2. Predicting Corn Emergence Uniformity with On-the-go Furrow Sensing TechnologyIntegration of proximal soil sensors into commercial row-crop planter components have allowed for a dense quantification of within-field soil spatial variability. These technologies have potential to guide real-time management decisions, such as on-the-go variable seeding rate or depth. However, little is known about the performance of these systems. Therefore, research was conducted in central Missouri, USA to determine the relationship between planter sensor metrics, and corn (Zea mays L.) ... L.S. Conway, C. Vong, N.R. Kitchen, K.A.

3. Soil, Landscape, and Weather Affect Spatial Distributions of Corn Population and YieldAs more planters are equipped with the technology to vary seeding rate, evaluation of the within-field relationships between plant stand density (or population) and yield is needed. One aspect of this evaluation is determining how stand loss and yield are related to soil and landscape factors, and how these relationships vary with different weather conditions. Therefore, this research examined nine site-years of mapped corn yield, harvest population, and soil and landscape data obtained for a... K.A. Sudduth, N.R. Kitchen, L.S. Conway |
