1. Using An Active Crop Sensor To Detect Variability Of Nitrogen Supply On Sugar Cane FieldsNitrogen management has been intensively studied on several crops and recently associated with variable rate application on-the-go based on crop sensors. On sugar cane those studies are yet scarce and as a biofuel crop the input of energy matters, looking for a high positive balance of biofuel production and low carbon emission on the whole production system. This paper shows the first results obtained using a nitrogen and biomass sensor (N-SensorTM ALS, Yara International ASA) aiming to indicate... J. Molin, G. Portz, J. Jasper |
2. Estimating Crop Biomass And Nitrogen Uptake Using Cropspectm, A Newly Developed Active Crop-canopy Reflectance SensorIn-season variable rate nitrogen fertilizer application needs efficient determination of the nitrogen nutrition status of crops with high spatial and temporal resolution. A suitable approach to get this information fast and at low cost is proximal sensing of the light that is reflected from the crop canopy. CropSpecTM is an active vehicle mounted crop canopy sensor. Using pulsed laser diodes as light source, the sensor is designed to look at the crop at an oblique... S. Reusch, J. Jasper, A. Link, J. Vollmar |
3. Optimum Sugarcane Growth Stage for Canopy Reflectance Sensor to Predict Biomass and Nitrogen UptakeThe recent technology of plant canopy reflectance sensors can provide the status of biomass and nitrogen nutrition of sugarcane spatially and in real time, but it is necessary to know the right moment to use this technology aiming the best predictions of the crop parameters...

4. Yield, Residual Nitrogen and Economic Benefit of Precision Seeding and Laser Land Leveling for Winter WheatRapid socio-economic changes in China, such as land conversion and urbanization etc., are creating new scopes for application of precision agriculture (PA). It remains unclear the application effective and economic benefits of precision agriculture technologies in China. In this study, our specific goal was to analyze the impact of precision seeding and laser land leveling on winter wheat yield,... J. Chen , P.L. Chen, J.C. Zhao, S.Y. Wang, J.C. Li, Q. Zhang, T.H.

5. Agronomic Characteristics of Green Corn and Correlations with Productivity for the Establishment of Management Zones in Vale Do Ribeira, SP, BrazilIn Brazil, the progressive development in the cultivation of the corn for consumption in the green stadium stands by the relevant socio-economic role that this related to multiple applications, the attractive market price and continuous demand for the product in nature. Therefore, this study was to analyze the correlations and spatial variability of the productivity of the culture of the green corn in winter, in alluvial soil of the type Cambisols eutrophic in the amount areas and Hydromorphic...

6. Prediction of Sugarcane Yields in Commercial Fields by Early Measurements with an Optical Crop Canopy SensorAs a grass (Poaceae), sugarcane needs supplemental mineral nitrogen (N) to achieve high yields on commercial production areas. In Brazil, N recommendations for sugarcane ratoons are based on expected yield and the results of N response trials, as soil N analyses are not a suitable basis for decisions on optimum N fertilizer rates under tropical conditions. Since the vegetative parts in sugarcane are harvested, yield components such as the number of stalks and stalk height are directly correlated... G. Portz, J. Jasper, J.P. Molin |
7. Micro-climate Prediction System Using IoT Data and AutoMLMicroclimate variables like temperature, humidity are sensitive to land surface properties and land-atmosphere connections. They can vary over short distances and even between sections of the farm. Getting the accurate microclimate around the crop canopy allows farmers to effectively manage crop growth. However, most of the weather forecast services available to farmers globally, either by the meteorological department or universities or some weather app, provide weather forecasts for larger... A.

8. Low Cost Smartphone Camera Accessory to Digitally Measure Leaf Color for Crop Nitrogen Status AssessmentCrop nitrogen (N) status is a desirable information for crop nutrition management. In addition to the traditional leaf sampling with subsequent laboratory analysis, the use of chlorophyll meters is a well-studied and accepted practice to indirectly measure crop N status. Nevertheless, chlorophyll meters are dedicated devices that still cost at least a few hundred dollars, thus being unsuitable to large scale use among low budget smallholders. Aiming to address this issue, a new low cost smartphone... G. Portz, S. Reusch, J. Jasper |
9. Sensor Based Fertigation ManagementSensor-based fertigation management (SBFM) is a relatively new technology for directing nitrogen (N) decisions, specifically tailored for delivery of N via center pivot irrigation systems (fertigation). The development of SBFM began in 2018 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with the help of cooperating producers across the state. Over two dozen field sites provided testbeds for the development and evaluation of the technology. The key technique in this fertigation approach is the... J. Stansell, J.D. Luck, T. Cross, K.J.
