1. Evaluation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Images in Estimating Cotton Nitrogen ContentEstimating crop nitrogen content is a critical step for optimizing nitrogen fertilizer application. The objective of this study was to evaluate the application of UAV images in estimating cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) N content. This study was conducted in a dryland cotton field in Garza County, Texas, in 2020. The experiment was implemented as a randomized complete block design with three N rates of 0, 34, and 67 kg N ha-1. A RedEdge multispectral sensor was used to acquire... R. Karn, H. Gu, O. Adedeji, W. Guo |
2. Modeling Spatial and Temporal Variability of Cotton Yield Using DSSAT for Decision Support in Precision AgricultureThe quantification of spatial and temporal variability of cotton yield provides critical information for optimizing resources, especially water. The Southern High Plains (SHP) of Texas is a major cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production region with diminishing water supply. The objective of this study was to predict cotton yield variability using soil properties and topographic attributes. The DSSAT CROPGRO-Cotton model was used to simulate cotton growth, development and yield using... B.P. Ghimire, O. Adedeji, Z. Lin, W. Guo |
3. Within Field Cotton Yield Prediction Using Temporal Satellite Imagery Combined with Deep LearningCrop yield prediction at the field scale plays a pivotal role in enhancing agricultural management, a vital component in addressing global food security challenges. Regional or county-level data, while valuable for broader agricultural planning, often lacks the precision required by farmers for effective and timely field management. The primary obstacle in utilizing satellite imagery to forecast crop yields at the field level lies in its low temporal and spatial resolutions. This study aims to... R. Karn, O. Adedeji, B.P.

4. Assessing Precision Water Management in Cotton Using Unmanned Aerial Systems and Satellite Remote SensingThe goal of this study was to improve agricultural sustainability and water use efficiency by allocating the right amount of water at the right place and time within the field. The objectives were to assess the effect of variable rate irrigation (VRI) on cotton growth and yield and evaluate the application of satellites and Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in capturing the spatial and temporal patterns of cotton growth response to irrigation. Irrigation treatments with six replications of three different... O. Adedeji, W. Guo, H. Alwaseela, B. Ghimire, E. Wieber, R. Karn |
5. Simulating Climate Change Impacts on Cotton Yield in the Texas High PlainsCrop yield prediction enables stakeholders to plan farming practices and marketing. Crop models can predict crop yield based on cropping system and practices, soil, and other environmental factors. These models are being used for decision support in agriculture in a variety of ways. Cultivar selection, water and nutrient input optimization, planting date selection, climate change analysis and yield prediction are some of the promising area of applications of the models in field level farm management....

6. Predicting Within-field Cotton Yield Variability Using DSSAT for Decision Support in Precision AgricultureThe quantification of spatial and temporal variability of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yield provides critical information for optimizing resources, especially water, in the Southern High Plains (SHP), Texas, with a diminishing water supply. The within-field yield variation is mostly influenced by the properties of soil and their interaction with water and nutrients. The objective of this study was to predict within-field cotton yield variability using a crop growth model... B. Ghimire, R. Karn, O. Adedeji, W. Guo |
7. Evaluating the Impact of Irrigation Rate, Timing, and Maturity-based Cotton Cultivars on Yield and Fiber Quality in West TexasIn West Texas, effective irrigation is crucial for sustainable cotton production given the water scarcity from the declining Ogallala aquifer and erratic rainfall patterns. A three-year study (2020-2022) investigated irrigation rate and timing effects on early to mid-season cotton maturity groups. Five treatments, including rainfed (W1 or LLL) and variations in irrigation rates at growth stages (P1 to P4), were applied. Evaluation involved six to seven cotton cultivars from four maturity groups,... O. Adedeji, R. Karn, B.P. Ghimire, W. Guo, E.N. Wieber |
