1. Smoothness Index Of Thematic MapsA thematic map shows the spatial distribution of one or more specific data themes for standard geographic areas. The thematic maps are generated to represent the studied variables, so interpolators are used to determine their values in places not sampled. It is usually... C.L. Bazzi, E.G. Souza, D. Stiehl |
2. Thematic And Profitability Maps For Precision AgricultureYield maps became economically feasible to farmers with the technological advances in precision agriculture. The evidence of its profitability, however, is still unknown and, rarely, yield variability has been correlated to profitable variability. Differently from... E.G. Souza, C.L.

3. New Power-leds Based Illumination System For Fertilizer Granule Motion EstimationEnvironmental problems have become more and more pressing in the past twenty years particularly with the fertilization operation, one main contributor to environmental imbalance. The understanding of the global centrifugal spreading process, most commonly used in Europe, can contribute to provide essential information about fertiliser granule deposition on the soil. This last one can be predicted using a ballistic flight model and several fertilizer characteristic’s determination... F. Cointault, B. Hijazi, J. Dubois, J. Vangeyte, M. Paindavoine |
4. Measuring Multi-depth Soil Moisture Content In A Vertisol Soils With EM38Over the years, electromagnetic induction sensors, such as EM38, have been used to monitor soil salinity or local electrical conductivity (ECa) and their output has been instrumented in establishing models for depth profiling of ECa. In the previous work both the forward propagation and inverse matrix approaches offered potential to produce depth profiles of soil ECa. However, it remains a question whether EM38 is able to measure v in different depths. This present study concerns itself... B. Hossain |
5. A Statistical and an Agronomic Approach for Definition of Management Zones in Corn and SoybeanThe use of productivity level management zones (MZ) has demonstrated good potential for the site-specific management of crop inputs in traditional row crops. The objectives of this research were to analyze the process of defining MZs and develop methods to evaluate the quality of MZ maps. Two approaches were used to select the layers to be used in the MZ definition: 1) Statistical Approach (SA_MZ) and 2) Agronomic Approach (AA_MZ). The difference is that in the AA_MZ approach all non stable variables... C.L. Bazzi, E.G. Souza, R. Khosla, R.M. Reich |
6. Use of Chemical and Physical Attributes Of the Soil in Management Units DefinitionSeveral equipments and methodologies have been developed to make available precision agriculture, especially the high cost of its implantation and sampling. An interesting possibility... C.L. Bazzi, E.G. Souza, L.H. Nobrega, M.A. Uribe-opazo, D.M. Rocha |

8. Precision Nutrient Management For Enhancing The Yield Of Groundnut In Peninsular IndiaGroundnut is an important oil seed crop grown in an area of around 8 lakh hectares in Karnataka state of India under rainfed conditions. In these situations farmers applied inadequate fertilizer without knowing the initial nutrient status of the soil which resulted in low nutrient use efficiency that intern lead to low productivity of groundnut in these areas. Soil fertility deterioration due to... M. Giriyappa, T. Sheshadri, D. Hanumanthappa, M. Shankar, S.B. Salimath, T. Rudramuni, N. Raju, N. Devakumar, G. Mallikaarjuna, M.T. Malagi, S. Jangandi |
9. Proximal Hyperspectral Sensing in Plant BreedingThe use of remote sensing in plant breeding is challenging due to the large number of small parcels which at least actually cannot be measured with conventional techniques like air- or spaceborne sensors. On the one hand crop monitoring needs to be performed frequently, which demands reliable data availability. On the other hand hyperspectral remote sensing offers new methods for the detection of vegetation parameters in crop production, especially since methods for safe and efficient detection... H.

10. Non-destructive Plant Phenotyping Using a Mobile Hyperspectral System to Assist Breeding Research: First ResultsHybrid plants feature a stronger vigor, an increased yield and a better environmental adaptability than their parents, also known as heterosis effect. Heterosis of winter oilseed rape is not yet fully understood and conclusions on hybrid performance can only be drawn from laborious test crossings. Large scale field phenotyping may alleviate this process in plant breeding. The aim of this study was to test a low-cost mobile ground-based hyperspectral system for breeding research to easily... H.

11. First Experiences with the European Remote Sensing Satellites Sentinel-1A/ -2A for Agricultural ResearchThe Copernicus program headed by the European Commission (EC) in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) will launch up to twelve satellites, the so called “Sentinels” for earth and environmental observations until 2020. Within this satellite fleet, the Sentinel-1 (microwave) and Sentinal-2 (optical) satellites deliver valuable information on agricultural crops. Due to their high temporal (5 to 6 days repeating time) and spatial (10 to 20 m) resolutions a continuous monitoring... H. Lilienthal, H. Gerighausen, E. Schnug |
12. A Content Review of Precision Agriculture Courses Across the USKnowledge of what precision agriculture (PA) content is currently taught across the United States will help build a better understanding for what PA instructors should incorporate into their classes in the future. The University of Missouri partnered with several universities throughout the nation on a USDA challenge grant. Precision Agriculture faculty from 24 colleges/universities from across the U.S. shared their PA content by sharing their syllabi from 43 different courses. The syllabi were... D. Skouby, L. Schumacher, M. Yost, N.R. Kitchen |
13. Automated Support Tool for Variable Rate Irrigation PrescriptionsVariable rate irrigation (VRI) enables center pivot management to better meet non-uniform water and fertility needs. This is accomplished through correctly matching system water application with spatial and temporal variability within the field. A computer program was modified to accommodate GIS data layers of grid-based field soil texture properties and fertility needs in making management decisions. The program can automatically develop a variable rate application prescription along the lateral... A.T. Nguyen, A.L. Thompson, K.A. Sudduth, E.D. Vories, A.T. Nguyen |
14. 25 Years Precision Agriculture in Germany - a RetrospectiveIt all started with the availability of Global Positioning Systems for civil services in 1988. In the same year variable rate applications of fertilizers were demonstrated in northern Germany and Denmark, which were globally the first of their kind and introduced a new era of agricultural production. The idea of Computer Aided Farming (CAF) was born. Only one year later the first yield maps were established. In 1992 at the Soil Specific Crop Management Workshop in Bloomington, Minnesota which...

15. Frameworks for Variable Rate Application of ManureWorldwide, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) losses from agriculture are main contributors to eutrophication of water bodies so that forceful agro-technical measures are required to reduce their diffuse discharge to the environment. With view to worldwide finite mineral rock phosphates efficient standards are required to close the agricultural P cycle. In intensive agricultural livestock production manure is often treated as a waste problem rather than an organic fertilizer and source of nutrients.... H. Lilienthal, S.H. Haneklaus, E. Schnug |
16. Agricultural Remote Sensing Information for Farmers in GermanyThe European Copernicus program delivers optical and radar satellite imagery at a high temporal frequency and at a ground resolution of 10m worldwide with an open data policy. Since July 2017 the satellite constellation of the Sentinel-1 and -2 satellites is fully operational, allowing e.g. coverage of Germany every 1-2 days by radar and every 2-3 days with optical sensors. This huge data source contains a variety of valuable input information for farmers to monitor the in-field variability and... H. Lilienthal, H. Gerighausen, E. Schnug |
