1. Performance of Two Active Canopy Sensors for Estimating Winter Wheat Nitrogen Status in North China Plain... Q. Cao, Y. Miao, G. Feng, X. Gao, B. Liu, R. Khosla |
2. Different Leaf Sensing Approaches for the Estimation of Winter Wheat Nitrogen StatusNondestructive real time diagnosis of crop N status is crucial to the development of precision nitrogen (N) management strategies. Chlorophyll meter has been a popular sensor for such purposes and different approaches to use this sensor has been developed using a threshold value, nitrogen sufficiency index (NSI) or ratio of...

3. Evaluating Different Nitrogen Management Strategies For The Intensive Wheat-Maize System In North China PlainThe sustainable agricultural development involves both environmental challenges and production goals to meet growing food demand. However, excessive nitrogen (N) applications are threatening the sustainability of intensive agriculture in the North China Plain (NCP). Improved N management should result in greater N use efficiency (NUE) and producer profit while reducing the risk of environmental contamination. Therefore, developing and disseminating feasible N management strategies... Q. Cao, Y. Miao, G. Feng, F. Li, B. Liu, X. Gao, Y. Liu |
4. Laboratory Evaluation of Two VNIR Optical Sensor Designs for Vertical Soil SensingVisible and near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (VNIR) is becoming an extensively researched technology to predict soil properties such as soil organic carbon, inorganic carbon, total nitrogen, moisture for precision agriculture. Due to its rapid, non-destructive nature and ability to infer multiple soil properties simultaneously, engineers have been trying to develop proximal sensors based on the VNIR technology to enable horizontal soil sensing and mapping. Since the vertical variation... N. Wijewardane, Y. Ge |
5. Relationship Between Water Use Efficiency, Daily Stomatal Conductance Trend and Evaporation of Maize and Soybean CropsWater Use Efficiency (WUE) represents the biomass production per unit of water and is commonly affected by temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, and water availability. Plants regulate the water transpiration efficiency through the opening and closing of stomata. Farmers can save water and maintain yield by improving crop's WUE during the period of drought through proper field management. The calculation of WUE requires the information of crop weight and irrigation volume, which is difficult... J. Zhang, N. Chamara, G. Bai, Y. Ge |
6. Onboard Weed Identification and Application Test with Spraying Drone SystemsCommercial spraying drone systems nowadays have the ability to implement variable rate applications according to pre-loaded prescription maps. Efforts are needed to integrate sensing and computing technologies to realize on-the-go decision making such as those on the ground based spraying systems. Besides the understudied subject of drone spraying pattern and efficacy, challenges also exist in the decision making, control, and system integration with the limits on payload and flight endurance...
