1. Active Optical Sensor Algorithms For Corn Yield Prediction And In-Season N Application In North DakotaA recent series of seventy seven field N rate experiments with corn (Zea mays, L.) in North Dakota was conducted. Multiple regression analysis of the characteristics of the data set indicated that segregating the data into those with high clay soils and those with medium textures increased the relationship between N rate and corn yield. However, the nearly linear positive slope relationship in high clay soils and coarser texture soils with lower yield productivity indicated... L. Sharma, H. Bu, R. Ashley, G. Endres, J. Teboh, D.W.

2. Weather Impacts on UAV Flight Availability for Agricultural Purposes in OklahomaThis research project analyzed 21 years of historical weather data from the Oklahoma Mesonet system. The data examined the practicality of flying unmanned aircraft for various agricultural purposes in Oklahoma. Fixed-wing and rotary wing (quad copter, octocopter) flight parameters were determined and their performance envelope was verified as a function of weather conditions. The project explored Oklahoma’s Mesonet data in order to find days that are acceptable for flying... P. Weckler, C. Morris, B. Arnall, P. Alderman, J. Kidd, A. Sutherland |
3. Evaluation of a Seed-fertilizer Application System Using a Laser ScannerThe system evaluated is a design that combines planter and sprayer technologies to allow clients to plant crops while simultaneously spraying initial fertilizer on or in close proximity to the seed. The system is an idea Capstan Ag Systems has been pursuing for around 15 years, and has recently been revived in a partnership with Great Plains Manufacturing Company. Great Plains Manufacturing released the final product under the name AccushotTM at the 2015... P. Weckler, N. Wang, C. Zhai, L. Zhang, B. Luo, J. Long, R. Taylor |
