1. Evaluation Of Yield Maps Using Fuzzy IndicatorsThe ultimate goal of application of yield maps is profitable crop output in many farming systems. Yield maps are the starting point in the precision farming system, and provide the final record indicating the effectiveness of any management changes. Researches on yield mapping shown, that positions and boundaries of zones with different levels of... E. Krueger shvetsova, D. Kurtener, D. Kurtener, H. Torbert |
2. The Ultimate Soil Survey in One Pass: Soil Texture, Organic Matter, pH, Elevation, Slope, and CurvatureThe goal of accurately mapping soil variability preceded GPS-aided agriculture, and has been a challenging aspect of precision agriculture since its inception. Many studies have found the range of spatial dependence is shorter than the distances used in most grid sampling. Other studies have examined variability within government soil surveys and concluded that they have limited utility in many precision applications. Proximal soil sensing has long been envisioned as a method... E. Lund, C. Maxton, G. Kweon |
3. Robustness of Pigment Analysis in Tree FruitThe non-destructive application of spectrophotometry for analyzing fruit pigments has become a promising tool in precise fruit production. Particularly, the pigment contents are interesting to the growers as they provide information on the harvest maturity and fruit quality for marketing. The absorption of chlorophyll at its Q band provides quantitative information on the chlorophyll pool of fruit. As a challenge appears the in-situ measurement at varying developmental stage of the fruit due to... M. Zude-sasse, C. Regen, J. Käthner |
4. Comparison of Plant and Soil Mapping in Prunus Domestica L. OrchardIn the present study, the soil apparent electrical conductivity, ECa, and the plant water status were analyzed in plum production (Prunus domestica L 'Tophit plus'/Wavit) targeting (i) the spatial characterization of soil ECa and fruit yield, (ii) instantaneous water status, and (iii) cumulative pattern of water status and yield. The plum orchard is located in semi-humid, temperate climate (Potsdam, Germany), capturing 0.37 ha with 156 trees. Measurements were carried out on... M. Zude-sasse, J. Käthner, W.B. Herppich, J.

5. Field Phenotyping Infrastructure in a Future World - Quantifying Information on Plant Structure and Function for Precision Agriculture and Climate ChangePhenotyping in the field is an essential step in the phenotyping chain. Phenotyping begins in the well-defined, controlled conditions in laboratories and greenhouses and extends to heterogeneous, fluctuating environments in the field. Field measurements represent a significant reference point for the relevance of the laboratory and greenhouse approaches and an important source of information on potential mechanisms and constraints for plant performance tested at controlled conditions. In this... O. Muller, M.P. Cendrero mateo, H. Albrecht, F. Pinto, M. Mueller-linow, R. Pieruschka, U. Schurr, U. Rascher, A. Schickling, B. Keller |
6. Field Phenotyping and an Example of Proximal Sensing of PhotosynthesisField phenotyping conceptually can be divided in five pillars 1) traits of interest 2) sensors to measure these traits 3) positioning systems to allow high throughput measurements by the sensors 4) experimental sites and 5) environmental monitoring. In this paper we will focus on photosynthesis as trait of interest, measured by remote active fluorescence. The sensor presented is the Light Induced Fluorescence Transient (LIFT) instrument. The LIFT instrument is integrated in three positioning systems.... O. Muller, B. Keller, L. Zimmermanm, C. Jedmowski, V. Pingle, K. Acebron, N. Zendonadi, A. Steier, R. Pieruschka, U. Schurr, U.

7. Evaluating a Satellite Remote Sensing and Calibration Strip-based Precision Nitrogen Management Strategy for Corn in Minnesota and IndianaPrecision nitrogen (N) management (PNM) aims to match N supply with crop N demand in both space and time and has the potential to improve N use efficiency (NUE), increase farmer profitability, and reduce N losses and negative environmental impacts. However, current PNM adoption rate is still quite low. A remote sensing and calibration strip-based PNM strategy (RS-CS-PNM) has been developed by the Precision Agriculture Center at the University of Minnesota.... K. Mizuta, Y. Miao, A.C. Morales, L.N.

8. Assessing the Variability in Cover Crop Growth Due to Management Practices and Biophysical Conditions Using a Mixed Modeling ApproachPlanting winter cover crops provides numerous agronomic and environmental benefits. Cereal rye, which is a commonly planted cover crop in Ohio, when established, offers advantages such as recycling residual nitrogen in the soil, enhancing soil organic matter, and reducing nutrient loss. However, understanding cover crop growth is challenging due to field management and weather conditions, and insights using traditional methods are limited. Remote sensing offers a cost-effective and timely alternative... K. Kc, S. Khanal, N. Bello, S. Culman |
