1. New Power-leds Based Illumination System For Fertilizer Granule Motion EstimationEnvironmental problems have become more and more pressing in the past twenty years particularly with the fertilization operation, one main contributor to environmental imbalance. The understanding of the global centrifugal spreading process, most commonly used in Europe, can contribute to provide essential information about fertiliser granule deposition on the soil. This last one can be predicted using a ballistic flight model and several fertilizer characteristic’s determination... F. Cointault, B. Hijazi, J. Dubois, J. Vangeyte, M. Paindavoine |
2. Nitrogen And Water Stress Impacts Hard Red Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum) Canopy ReflectanceRemote sensing-based in-season N recommendations have been proposed as a technique to improve N fertilizer use efficiency. Remote sensing estimation of South Dakota hard red spring wheat N requirements needs assessment. Research objectives were: (1) determine the effect of an in-season N application on grain yield, yield loss to nitrogen stress (YLNS), and grain protein; and (2) assess if remote sensing collected at different growth stages may be used to predict yield...

3. Impact Of Winter Grazing On Forage Biomass Topography Soil Strength Spatial RelationshipsSpatial relationships between soil properties, forage productivity, and landscape can be used to manage site-specific grazing. Soil penetration resistance and forage biomass were collected for three years in winter grazing experiment. The three ha experimental area was divided into six paddocks, hay was cut twice per year in the months of May and June, and forage stockpiled after the second cutting. Animals were admitted to paddocks at the end of November, at a stocking rate... E.M. Pena-yewtukhiw, D. Mata-padrino, W. Bryan |
4. Attaching Multiple Conductivity Meters To An Atv To Speed Up Precision Agriculture Soil SurveysGround conductivity meters are used in a number of precision agriculture applications, including the estimation of water content, nutrient levels, salinity and depth of topsoil. Typically the Geonics EM38 conductivity meter, and to a lesser extent the EM31, are used for soil surveys. Most conductivity surveys involve towing a ground conductivity meter behind an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). In some situations, such as rutted or sloping fields, it is preferable to mount the conductivity meter directly... E. Morris, A. Clarke, S. Sunley, C. Hill, G. Cranfield |
