1. Sensor-based Nitrogen Applications Out-performed Producer-chosen Rates for Corn in On-farm DemonstrationsOptimal nitrogen fertilizer rate for corn can vary substantially within and among fields. Current N management practices do not address this variability. Crop reflectance sensors offer the potential to diagnose crop N need and control N application rates at a fine spatial scale. Our objective was to evaluate the performance of sensor-based variable-rate N applications to corn, relative to constant N rates chosen by the producer. Fifty-five replicated on-farm demonstrations... P. Scharf, K. Shannon, K. Sudduth, N. Kitchen |
2. Precision Farming Basics Manual - a Comprehensive Updated Textbook for Teaching and Extension EffortsToday precision agricultural technologies are limited by the lack of a workforce that is technology literate, creative, innovative, fully trained in their discipline, able to utilize and interpret information gained from information-age technologies to make smart management decisions, and have the capacity to convert locally collected information into practical solutions. As part of a grant entitled Precision Farming Workforce Development: Standards, Working Groups, and Experimental Learning... K. Shannon |
3. Canopy Temperature Mapping with a Vineyard RobotThe wine industry is a strategic sector in many countries worldwide. High revenues in the wine market typically result in higher investments in specialized equipment, so that producers can introduce disruptive technology for increasing grape production and quality. However, many European producers are approaching retirement age, and therefore the agricultural sector needs a way for attracting young farmers who can assure the smooth transition between generations; digital technology offers an opportunity...

4. Machine Monitoring As a Smartfarming Concept ToolCurrent development trends are associated with the digitization of production processes and the interconnection of individual information layers from multiple sources into common databases, contexts and functionalities. In order to automatic data collection of machine operating data, the farm tractors were equipped with monitoring units ITineris for continuous collection and transmission of information from tractors CAN Bus. All data sets are completed with GPS location data. Acreage... M. Kroulik, V. Brant, P. Zabransky, J. Chyba, V. Krcek, M. Skerikova |
