1. Does Pasture Longevity Under Direct Grazing Affect Field-scale Sorghum Yield Spatial Variability In Crop-pasture Rotation Systems?Crop yield spatial variability is usually related to terrain attributes and soil properties. In pasture systems, soil properties are affected by animal grazing. However, soil and terrain attributes relation with crop yield variability has not been assessed in crop-pasture rotations.... V.

2. Field Level Management and Data Verification of Variable Rate Fertilizer ApplicationIncreased cost efficiencies and ease of use make spinner-disc spreaders the primary method of applying fertilizers throughout much of the United States. Recently, advances in spreader systems have enabled multiple fertilizer products to be applied at variable application rates. This provides greater flexibility during site-specific management of in-field fertility. Physical and aerodynamic properties vary for fertilizer granules of different sources and densities, these properties in turn affect... R. Colley Iii, J. Fulton, S. Virk, E. Hawkins |
3. eFields – An On-Farm Research Network to Inform Farm RecommendationsOn-farm research has been traditionally used to provide local, field-scale information about agronomic practices. Farmers tend to have more confidence in on-farm research results because they are perceived to be more relevant to their farm operations compared to small plot research results. In recent years, more farmers have been conducting on-farm studies to help evaluate practices and input decisions. Recent advances in precision agriculture technologies have stream-lined the on-farm... J.P. Fulton, E. Hawkins, R. Colley Iii, K. Port, S. Shearer, A. Klopfenstein |
4. Limitations of Yield Monitor Data to Support Field-scale ResearchPrecision agriculture adoption on farms continues to grow globally on farms. Today, yield monitors have become standard technologies on grain, cotton and sugarcane harvesters. In recent years, we have seen industry and even academics leveraging the adoption of precision agriculture technologies to conduct field-scale, on-farm research. Industry has been a primary driver of the increase in on-farm research globally through the development of software to support on-farm research. ... J.P. Fulton, S.A. Shearer, A. Gauci, A. Lindsey, D. Barker, E. Hawkins |
5. Nitrogen Placement Considerations for Maize Production in the Eastern US CornbeltProper fertilizer placement is essential to optimize crop performance and amount of applied nitrogen (N) along with crop yield potential. There exists several practices currently used in both research within farming operations on how and when to apply N to maize (Zea mays L). Split applications of N in Ohio is popular with farmers and provides an economic benefit but more recently some farmers have been using mid- and late-season N fertilizer applications for their maize production. ...

6. Improving Winter Wheat Nitrogen Status Monitoring Using Proximal Canopy Sensing and Agrometeorological Information with Machine LearningTimely and accurate diagnosis of winter wheat nitrogen (N) status plays an important role in guiding precision N management. This study aims to combine proximal canopy sensing and agrometeorological information to establish a reliable winter wheat plant N concentration (PNC) monitoring model with seven machine learning (ML) algorithms (Random Forest Regression (RFR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), K-Nearest Neighbors Regression (KNNR), Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), Gradient Boosting...

7. Creating Value from On-farm Research: Efields Data Workflow and Management Successes and ChallengesFarm operations today generate a large amount of data that can be difficult to properly manage. This challenge is further compounded when conducting on-farm research. The Ohio State University eFields program partners with farmers to conduct on-farm research and share results in a timely manner. Since 2017, the team has conducted and shared 987 trials across Ohio with the annual number of trials increasing from 45 to 292. This rapid increase has required development of a data workflow that streamlines... J.P. Fulton, D. Wilson, R. Tietje, E. Hawkins |
8. Performance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to Broadcast-interseed Cover Crops at Different Crop StagesDrones have become more affordable, making them a viable option to use for broadcast-interseeding cover crops within crops prior to harvest. This strategy has become popular in the USA over the past three years. However, limited information exists on spreading with drones and the in-field performance and setups to ensure uniform distribution. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the distribution uniformity of broadcast- interseeded cover crops into cash crops prior to harvest.... J.P. Fulton, A. Thomas, S.A. Shearer, E.
