1. Using Late-season Uncalibrated Digital Aerial Imagery For Predicting Corn Nitrogen Status Within FieldsUsing uncalibrated digital aerial imagery (DAI) for diagnosing in-season nitrogen (N) deficiencies of corn (Zea mays L.) is challenging because of the dynamic nature of corn growth and the difficulty of obtaining timely imagery. Digital aerial imagery taken later during the growing season is more accurate in identifying areas deficient in N. Even so, the quantitative use of late-season DAI across many fields is still limited because the imagery is not truly calibrated. This study... P.M. Kyveryga, T.M. Blackmer, R. Pearson |
2. A Systematic Approach For Using Precision Agriculture Tools For On-farm Evaluations In IowaThe competitive nature of modern agriculture requires constant refinements of many crop production management decisions. Precision agriculture tools (PAT) can allow growers to rapidly evaluate different management practices across large areas at a relatively low cost. But a systematic approach and a decision-making process describing how to utilize different PAT for on-farm evaluations have not been yet developed and adopted. This presentation will focus on how approximately... T.M. Blackmer, P.M. Kyveryga |

7. Evaluating Decision Systems For Using Variable Rates In Planting SoybeanIncreased interest in managing seeding rates within soybean fields is being driven by the advances in technologies and the need to increase productivity and economic returns. A wealth of previous research was focused on studying how different seeding rates affect soybean yields at small-plot scales. However, little is known how different site-specific factors influence the responsiveness of soybean to higher or lower plant population densities at field levels, especially across geographic... P.

8. Challenges and Successes when Generating In-season Multi-temporal Calibrated Aerial ImageryDigital aerial imagery (DAI) of the crop canopy collected by aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles is the yardstick of precision agriculture. However, the quantitative use of this imagery is often limited by its variable characteristics, low quality, and lack of radiometric calibration. To increase the quality and utility of using DAI in crop management, it is important to evaluate and address these limitations of DAI. Even though there have been improvements in spatial resolution... P.M. Kyveryga, J. Pritsolas, J. Connor, R. Pearson |
9. Within-field Profitability Assessment: Impact of Weather, Field Management and SoilsProfitability in crop production is largely driven by crop yield, production costs and commodity prices. The objective of this study was to quantify the often substantial yet somewhat illusive impact of weather, management, and soil spatial variability on within-field profitability in corn and soybean crop production using profitability indices for profit (net return) and return-on-investment (ROI) to produce estimates. We analyzed yield and cropping system data provided by 42 farmers within Central... P.M. Kyveryga, S. Fey, J. Connor, A. Kiel, D. Muth |
10. Rationale for and Benefits of a Community for On-Farm Data SharingMost data sets for evaluating crop production practices have too few locations and years to create reliable probabilities from predictive analytical analyses for the success of the practices. Yield monitors on combines have the potential to enable networks of farmers in collaboration with scientists and farm advisors to collect sufficient data for calculation of more reliable guidelines for crop production showing the probabilities that new or existing practices will improve the efficiency of...
