1. Exploiting the Dmc Satellite Constellation for Applications in Precision AgricultureThis paper presents the unique capabilities of the DMC constellation of optical sensors, and examples of how a number of organisations around the world are exploiting this powerful data source for applications in precision farming. The DMC consists of five satellites built in the UK by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, each carrying a wide swath (650km) optical sensor. It is an international programme of satellite ownership and groundstations, with joint campaigns being coordinated centrally... P. Stephens, S. Mackin, G. Holmes |
2. Integrated Approach to Site-specific Soil Fertility ManagementIn precision agriculture the lack of affordable methods for mapping relevant soil attributes is a fundamental problem. It restricts the development and application of advanced models and algorithms for decision making. The project “I4S - Integrated System for Site-Specific Soil Fertility Management” combines new sensing technologies with dynamic soil-crop models and decision support systems. Using sensors with different measurement principles improves the estimation of soil fertility... R. Gebbers, V. Dworak, B. Mahns, C. Weltzien, D. Büchele, I. Gornushkin, M. Mailwald, M. Ostermann, M. Rühlmann, T. Schmid, M. Maiwald, B. Sumpf, J. Rühlmann, M. Bourouah, H. Scheithauer, K. Heil, T. Heggemann, M. Leenen, S. Pätzold, G. Welp, T. Chudy, A. Mizgirev, P. Wagner, T. Beitz, M. Kumke, D.

3. High Accuracy Path Tracking for Rice Drill Seeder in Uneven Paddy FieldsHigh accuracy track tracing is a challenging task in paddy fields due to uneven grounds as well as wet soil conditions, thus restricting the development of autonomous rice drill seeder in China. For the purpose of overcoming the obstacles in application of autonomous rice drill seeder in paddy fields, a path tracking algorithm with high accuracy used for steering control during straight traveling in uneven mud paddy fields is introduced in this paper. Combining lateral deviation and heading angle... Y. Li, Y. Zhang, X. Liu, C. Liu |
4. Prediction of Field-scale Evapotranspiration Using Process Based Modeling and Geostatistical Time-series InterpolationIrrigation scheduling depends on the combination of evaporative demand from the atmosphere, spatial and temporal heterogeneity in soil properties and changes in crop canopy during a growing season. This on-farm trial is based on data collected in 72-acre processing tomato field in Central Valley of California. The Multiband Spectrometric Arable Mark 2 sensors at three different locations in the field. Multispectral and thermal imagery provided by Ceres Imaging were collected eight times during... G.

5. Sensor Based Fertigation ManagementSensor-based fertigation management (SBFM) is a relatively new technology for directing nitrogen (N) decisions, specifically tailored for delivery of N via center pivot irrigation systems (fertigation). The development of SBFM began in 2018 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with the help of cooperating producers across the state. Over two dozen field sites provided testbeds for the development and evaluation of the technology. The key technique in this fertigation approach is the... J. Stansell, J.D. Luck, T. Cross, K.J.

6. Machine Learning Algorithms in Detecting Long-term Effect of Climatic Factors for Alfalfa Production in KansasThe water levels of the Ogallala Aquifer are depleting so much that agricultural land returns in Kansas are expected to drop by $34.1 million by 2050. It is imperative to understand how frequent droughts and the contrasting rates of groundwater withdrawal and recharge are affected by climate shifts in Kansas. Alfalfa, the ‘Queen of Forages’, is a water demanding crop which supplies high nutritional feed for beef industry that offered Kansas producers a $500 million production value... F. Nazrul, J.

7. Sentinel Fertigation - Sponsor PresentationSentinel’s N-Time software leverages imagery and agronomic data to provide nitrogen application scheduling and rate recommendations to agronomists and farmers. Recommendations from the system have demonstrated profitability improvements of $24/ac and Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) improvements of 30% in on-farm research studies since 2021. This presentation will discuss the function of N-Time, highlight the advantages of the management system it enables, and briefly discuss on-farm research... J. Stansell |
