1. Improving Active Canopy Sensor-Based In-Season N Recommendation Using Plant Height Information for Rain-Fed Maize in Northeast ChinaThe inefficient utilization of nitrogen (N) fertilizer due to leaching, volatilization and denitrification has resulted in environmental pollution in rain-fed maize production in Northeast China. Active canopy sensor-based in-season N application has been proven effective to meet maize N requirement in space and time. The objective of this research was to evaluate the feasibility of using active canopy sensor for guiding in in-season N fertilizer recommendation for rain-fed maize in Northeast... X. Wang, Y.

2. Detect Estrus in Sows Using a Lidar Sensor and Machine LearningAccurate estrus detection of sows is labor intensive and is crucial to achieve high farrowing rate. This study aims to develop a method to detect accurate estrus time by monitoring the change in vulvar swollenness around estrus using a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) camera. The measurement accuracy of the LiDAR camera was evaluated in laboratory conditions before it was used in monitoring sows in a swine research facility. In this study, twelve multiparous individually housed sows were continuously... J. Zhou, Z. Xu |
