1. Penetration Resistance And Yield Variation At Field ScaleIn order to better explain spatial variations within fields, soil physical properties need to be studied in more depth. Relationships between soil physical parameters and yield, especially in the subsoil, are seldom studied since the characterization of soil variability at field or subfield scale using conventional methods is a labor intensive, very expensive, and time-consuming procedure, particularly when high-resolution data is required. However, soil physical properties... E. Bölenius, J. Arvidsson |
2. Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle with Multispectral with RGB Sensors to Analyze Canola Yield in the Canadian PrairiesIn 2017 canola was planted on 9 million hectares in Canada surpassing wheat as the most widely planted crop in Canada. Saskatchewan is the dominant producer with nearly 5 million hectares planted in 2017. This crop, seen both as one of the highest-yielding and most profitable, is also one of most expensive and input-intensive for producers on the Canadian Prairies. In this study, the effect of natural and planted shelterbelts on canola yield was compared with canola yield... K. Hodge, L. Bainard, A. Smith, F. Akhter |
3. Decision Making Factors of Precision Agricultural Practices in South DakotaA survey among South Dakota Farmers was conducted to document current nutrient management practices. The survey included questions regarding adoption and use of precision ag technologies in addition to information considered to create prescription maps for variable fertilizer and seeding rates. The survey collected demographic information from the producers. The presentation will also highlight how farm size, farm location, farmer/decision maker’s age and/or education level influences... P.
