1. A Model to Analyze “As-Applied” Reports of Variable Rate ApplicationsVariable rate technology enables users to access crop inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides, based on site specific information. This technology combines a variable rate control system, positioning system and GIS software to enable variable rate application. During operation some of these systems report information (“as-applied” files) about target rates and actual applied rates on georeferenced points along the tracks.... A.F. Colaço, H.J. Rosa, J.P.

2. Field-scale Nitrogen Recommendation Tools for Improving a Canopy Reflectance Sensor AlgorithmNitrogen (N) rate recommendation tools are utilized to help producers maximize grain yield production. Many of these tools provide recommendations at field scales but often fail when corn N requirements are variable across the field. This may result in excess N being lost to the environment or producers receiving decreased economic returns on yield. Canopy reflectance sensors are capable of capturing within-field variability, although the sensor algorithm recommendations may not always be as accurate... C.J. Ransom, M. Bean, N. Kitchen, J.

3. Improving Corn Nitrogen Rate Recommendations Through Tool FusionImproving corn (Zea maysL,) nitrogen (N) fertilizer rate recommendation tools can improve farmer’s profits and help mitigate N pollution. One way to improve N recommendation methods is to not rely on a single tool, but to employ two or more tools. Thiscould be thoughtof as “tool fusion”.The objective of this analysis was to improve N management by combining N recommendation tools used for guiding rates for an in-seasonN application. This evaluation was... C.J. Ransom, N.R. Kitchen, J.J. Camberato, P.R. Carter, R.B. Ferguson, F.G. Fernandez, D.W. Franzen, C.A. Laboski, E.D. Nafziger, J. Shanahan, J.E. Sawyer |
4. Airborne Spectral Detection of Leaf Chlorophyll Concentration in Wild BlueberriesLeaf chlorophyll concentration (LCC) detection is crucial for monitoring crop physiological status, assessing the overall health of crops, and estimating their photosynthetic potential. Fast, non-destructive, and spatially extensive monitoring of LCC in crops is critical for accurately diagnosing and assessing crop health in large commercial fields. Advancements in hyperspectral remote sensing offer non-destructive and spatially extensive alternatives for monitoring plant parameters such as LCC.... K. Barai, C. Ewanik, V. Dhiman, Y. Zhang, U.R.

5. Predicting Water Potentials of Wild Blueberries During Drought Treatment Using Hyperspectral Sensor and Machine LearningDetecting water stress on crops early and accurately is crucial to minimize its impact. This study aims to measure water stress in wild blueberry crops non-destructively by analyzing proximal hyperspectral data. The data collection took place in the summer growing season of 2022. A drought experiment was conducted on wild blueberries in the randomized block design in the greenhouse, incorporating various genotypes and irrigation treatments. Hyperspectral data ( spectral range: 400-1000 nm) using... Y. Zhang, U.R. Hodeghatta, V. Dhiman, K. Barai, T. Trang |
