1. GNSS Tracking Of Livestock: Towards Variable Fertilizer Strategies For The Grazing IndustryThis study reveals the potential for GPS tracking in the grazing industry. By monitoring the locations and movement of livestock, times of peak grazing activity can be identified and these can in turn produce maps of preferred grazing areas, and by examining residency times provide an indication of spatial variability in grazing pressure. A comparison of grazing preference can be made to similarly inferred camping areas to understand the potential redistribution of nutrients within a paddock.... M.G. Trotter, D.W. Lamb, G.N.

2. Matching Nitrogen To Plant Available Water For Malting Barley On Highly Constrained Vertosol SoilCrop yield monitoring, high resolution aerial imagery and electromagnetic induction (EMI) soil sensing are three widely used techniques in precision agriculture (PA). Yield maps provide an indication of the crop’s response to a particular management regime in light of spatially-variable constraints. Aerial imagery provides timely and accurate information about photosynthetically-active biomass during crop growth and EMI indicates spatial variability in soil texture, salinity and/or... B.

3. Precision Sensors For Improved Nitrogen Recommendations In WheatCrop sensor-based systems with developed algorithms for making mid-season fertilizer nitrogen (N) recommendations are commercially available to producers in some parts of the world. Although there is growing interest in these technologies by grain producers in Montana, use is limited by the lack of local research under Montana’s semiarid conditions. A field study was carried out at two locations in 2011, three locations in 2012, and two locations in 2013 in North West Montana:... O.S. Walsh, A. Pandey, R. Christiaens |
