1. 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. OptiThin - Precision Fruiticulture by Tree-Specific Mechanical ThinningApple cultivars show biennial fluctuations in yields (alternate bearing). The phenomenon is induced by reduced yields in one year due to freeze damage, low pollination rate or other reasons. Consequently, trees develop many flower buds that blossom in the following year. The many flowers lead to a high number of small fruits that won’t be accepted on the market. Endogenous factors (phytohormones and carbohydrate allocation) subsequently establish the biennial cycle. The alternate bearing... A. Betz, H. Benny, M. Jens, M. Özyurtlu, M. Pflanz, T. Rachow-autrum, A. Schischmanow, M. Scheele, J. Schrenk, L. Schrenk, M. Zude, R. Gebbers |
4. The Use of Sensing Technologies to Monitor and Track the Behavior of Cows on a Commercial Dairy FarmNew Zealand farmers are facing rapidly increasing pressure to reduce nutrient losses from their farming enterprises to the environment caused by grazing ruminants. Research... I. Draganova, I. Yule, M. Stevenson |
5. Quo Vadis Precision FarmingThe agriculture sector is a unique sector due to its strategic importance for both citizens and economy which, ideally, should make the whole sector a network of interacting organizations. There is an increasing tension, the like of which is not experienced in any other sector, between the requirements to assure full safety and keep costs under control, but also assure the long-term strategic interests of Europe and worldwide. In that sense, agricultural production influences, and is influenced... K. Charvat, T. Reznik, V. Lukas, K. Charvat jr., S. Horakova, M. Splichal, M. Kepka |
6. Claypan Depth Effect on Soil Phosphorus and Potassium DynamicsUnderstanding the effects of fertilizer addition and crop removal on long-term change in spatially-variable soil test P (STP) and soil test K (STK) is crucial for maximizing the use of grower inputs on claypan soils. Using apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) to estimate topsoil depth (or depth to claypan, DTC) within fields could help capture the variability and guide site-specific applications of P and K. The objective of this study was to determine if DTC derived from ECa... L. Conway, M. Yost, N. Kitchen, K. Sudduth, B. Myers |
7. Barriers to Adoption of Smart Farming Technologies in GermanyThe number of smart farming technologies available on the market is growing rapidly. Recent surveys show that despite extensive research efforts and media coverage, adoption of smart farming technologies is still lower than expected in Germany. Media analysis, a multi stakeholder workshop, and the Adoption and Diffusion Outcome Prediction Tool (ADOPT) (Kuehne et al. 2017) were applied to analyze the underlying adoption barriers that explain the low to moderate adoption levels of smart farming...
