1. Variable Rate Application Of Potassium Fertilizer For Soybean Crop Growth In A No-till SystemVariable rate application of fertilizer has the potential to improve nutrient use efficiency, improve economic returns, and reduce negative environmental impacts. The objective of this study was to evaluate the variable rate application of potassium fertilizer to soybean crop in a no-till system. The study was conducted on a 13-ha soybean grain field in Carambeí, State of Paraná, Brazil in a Typic Hapludox. The area has been under no-tillage for more than 10 years growing grains... A.C.

2. Sectioning And Assessment Remote Images For Precision Agriculture: The Case Of Orobanche Crenate In Pea CropThe software SARI® has been developed to implement precision agriculture strategies through remote sensing imagery. It is written in IDL® and works as an add-on of ENVI®. It has been designed to divide remotely sensed imagery into “micro-images”, each corresponding to a small area (“micro-plot”), and to determine the quantitative agronomic and/or environmental biotic (i.e. weeds, pathogens) and/or non-biotic (i.e. nutrient levels) indicator/s...

3. SPOT5 Multispectral Data Potentialities To Monitor Potato Crop Nitrogen Status At Specific Field ScaleThe many challenges facing European agriculture and farm of tomorrow are such that they increasingly require the setting up of Decision Support Systems (DSS) that favour integrated crop management at farm or regional level. A valuable DSS for management of split fertilizer N applications was developed in Belgium for potato crop. It combines total N recommendation based on field predictive balance-sheet method along with Crop Nitrogen Status (CNS) monitoring through hand-held chlorophyll meter... J. Goffart, A. Leonard, D.

4. Management Of Remote Imagery For Precision AgricultureSatellite and airborne remotely sensed images cover large areas, which normally include dozens of agricultural plots. Agricultural operations such as sowing, fertilization, and pesticide applications are designed for the whole plot area, i.e. 5 to 20 ha, or through precision agriculture. This takes into account the spatial variability of biotic and of abiotic factors and uses diverse technologies to apply inputs at variable rates, fitted to the needs of each small defined area, i.e. 25 to 200...

5. Not Possible In Real Life: Precision Agriculture’s Future In 3D Virtual WorldsImmersive 3D virtual worlds may be several years away from mainstream adoption, but thousands of scientists, educators, and visionary thinkers are already using these environments to network with colleagues, conduct research, create engaging simulations, and develop instructional models that can reach global audiences. Virtual reality offers the potential to create dynamic content that is either not possible to build in real life, or prohibitively expensive. Travel costs can be reduced by bringing... L. Phillips |
6. Development Of A Precision Sensing Sprayer For The Application Of Nitrogen Fertilizer To TurfgrassNormalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) may be very useful for turfgrass managers to measure turf quality and obtain an indirect measurement of turf N status. The objective of this research was to develop a Nitrogen Fertilization Optimization Algorithm (NFOA) for use in a turfgrass variable rate N applicator on bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers] fairways and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) greens in Oklahoma. Plots (0.9 X 1.5 m)... J.Q. Moss, G.E. Bell, J.B. Solie, M.L. Stone, D.L. Martin, M.E. Payton |
7. Generating Herbicide Effective Application Rate Maps Based On GPS Position, Nozzle Pressure, And Boom Section Actuation Data Collected From Sprayer Control SystemsThe application of pre- and post- emergence burn-down herbicides (i.e., glyphosate) continues to increase as producers attempt to reduce both negative environmental impacts from tillage and input costs from labor, machinery and materials. The use of precision agriculture technologies such as automatic boom section control allows producers to reduce off-target application when applying herbicides. While automatic boom section control has provided benefits, pressure differences across... J.D. Luck, A. Sharda, S.K. Pitla, J.P. Fulton, S.A. Shearer |
8. Potential Indicators Based On Leaf Flavonoids Content for the Evaluation of Potato Crop Nitrogen StatusNitrogen (N) fertilization strategies aim to limit environmental pollution by improving potato crop N use efficiency. Such strategies may use indicators for the assessment of in season crop N status (CNS). Leaf polyphenolics (flavonoids) content appears as a valuable indicator of CNS. Because of their absorption features in... J. Goffart, F. Ben abdallah |
9. Detection of Nitrogen Stress on Winter Wheat by Multispectral Machine VisionHand-held sensors (SPAD meter, N-Tester, …) used for detecting the leaves nitrogen concentration (Nc) present several drawbacks. The nitrogen concentration is gained by an indirect way through the chlorophyll concentration and the leaves have to be fixed in a defined position for the measurements. These drawbacks could be overcome by an imaging device that measures the canopy reflectance. Hence, the objective of the paper is to analyse the potential of multispectral imaging for detecting... M.

10. High Resolution Vegetation Mapping with a Novel Compact Hyperspectral Camera SystemThe COSI-system is a novel compact hyperspectral imaging solution designed for small remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS). It is designed to supply accurate action and information maps related to the crop status and health for precision agricultural applications. The COSI-Cam makes use of a thin film hyperspectral filter technology which is deposited onto an image sensor chip resulting in a compact and lightweight instrument design. This paper reports on the agricultural monitoring... B. Delauré, P. Baeck, J. Blommaert, S. Delalieux, S. Livens, A. Sima, M. Boonen, J. Goffart, G. Jacquemin, D. Nuyttens |
