1. Energy-efficient Wireless Sensor Network System For Soil Moisture Information CollectingCollecting field soil moisture information is the foundation of auto-irrigation. This paper introduced a soil moisture information collecting system based on wireless sensor network (WSN) technology and with application background of automatic drip irrigation for cotton field. Firstly, application background was analyzed and application requirement was defined. The system worked together with a drip irrigation system in cotton field. After study, it was found that the output of soil moisture sensor... R. Zhang, L. Chen, J. Guo, J.G. Warren, J.G. Warren |
2. Using Crop Budgeting Spreadsheets Can Assist Producers In Evaluating The Cost Effectiveness Of Adoption Of The Various Precision Agriculture TechnologiesProducers asked the question which Precision Agriculture Technologies can be economical in my farming operation? The use of easily modified crop budgets can help the producer evaluate the technologies and how they affect the profitability of one’s agricultural enterprise.... R.N. Klein, R. Wilson |
3. Early Detection of Corn N-Deficiency by Active Fluorescence Sensing in MaizeGlobally, the agricultural nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is no more than 40 %. This low efficiency comes with an agronomic, economic and environmental cost. By better management of spatial and temporal variability of crop nitrogen need, NUE can be improved. Currently available crop canopy sensors based on reflectance are capable... R. Khosla, D.G. Westfall, L. Longchamps |

5. A Tool for Monitoring Genetic Selection Differentials in Dairy Herds in CanadaA software tool was developed to allow a dairy producer and/or agricultural advisor to monitor the genetic selection differentials (GSD) that a dairy farm is making. The objectives of this study were (i) to monitor GSD in individual farms, over years, so that producers can be advised as to whether or not they are achieving their selection objectives (and hence optimizing productivity and profitability); (ii) the development of a prototype software tool and visualization model to assist producers...
