1. Using GPS-RTK In Crop Variety And Hybrid EvaluationsThe traditional methods used by many to conduct research in crop variety and hybrid evaluations is to blank plant the area, flag the area, or use a physical marker. All of these have disadvantages. In blank planting it may be difficult to plant exactly in the same rows, and can dry the soil and affect seed germination if soil water is limited. Blank planting also destroys crop residues and with skip-row residues are destroyed in the unplanted rows.This method is used for many plots in c... R.N. Klein, J.A. Golus |
2. Profitability Of RTK Autoguidance And Its Influence On Peanut ProductionEfficient harvest of peanuts (Arachis hypogea L.) requires that the digging implement be accurately positioned directly over the target rows. Small driving... K. Balkcom, B. Ortiz, J. Shockley, J.P. Fulton |
3. The Cost Of Dependence Upon GPS-enabled Navigation TechnologiesThe adoption of global positioning system (GPS) technology to fine-tune agricultural field operations over the last decade has been unprecedented relative to other agricultural technologies. Resultantly, as agricultural machinery size and capacity increased, field operations have become much more precise due to the synergistic relationship between farm machinery and GPS-enabled guidance technology. With increased dependence upon GPS technology, one must ask “What are the risks associate... C. Lee, T. Griffin |
4. GPS Guidance Of Mechanized Site Preparation In Forestry Plantations: A Precision Forestry ApproachApplication of GPS guidance to mechanized site preparation in forestry plantations: a precision forestry approach By Steve Husband (Paper proposed for 10th International Conference on Precision Agriculture 2010) ...

5. Nugis: The Development Of A Nutrient Use Geographic Information SystemNuGIS is a project of the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI). The goal was to examine sources of nutrients (fertilizers and manure) and compare this to crop removal. The project used GIS and database analysis to create maps at the state and county level and then used GIS to migrate the budget analysis to the local watershed and regional watershed levels. This paper will cover the sources of data used, how the data was processed to generate county level numbers, and how GIS was use... Q. Rund, R. Williams |
6. Use of Satellite Data to Improve Damage Assessment Process for Agricultural Insurance Scheme in IndonesiaGoal is to develop new method utilizing satellite data for assessment of damage in paddy field which can contribute toward substantial reduction of the damage assessment time and costs in framework of agricultural insurance in Indonesia. For the damage assessment, estimation of yield in each paddy plot is a key, so the research on the estimation of rice yield was carried out using satellite data which was acquired in harvesting season. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted for the... C. Hongo, C. Ogasawara, E. Tamura, G. Sigit |
7. Open Data for Food Quality and Food Security Control: a Case Study of the Czech RepublicFood quality and food security is of a high public interest in the European Union. In the Czech Republic, food quality and food security is under control of three different public authorities: the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (CTIA) that is affiliated with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, the Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority (CAFIA) that is affiliated with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic and the regional network of hygienic station...
