1. Hyperspectral Imaging Of Sugar Beet Symptoms Caused By Soil-borne OrganismsThe soil-borne pathogen Rhizoctonia solani and the plant parasitic nematode Heterodera schachtii are the most important constraints in sugar beet production worldwide. Symptoms caused by fungal infection are yellowing of leaves and rotting of the beet tuber late in the cropping season. Nematode afflicted plants show stunted growth early in the cropping season and also leaf wilting late in the season when water stress often sets in. Due to the low mobility of soil-borne organisms, they are ide... C. Hillnhuetter, A. Mahlein, R.A. Sikora, E. Oerke |
2. Using An Active Crop Sensor To Detect Variability Of Nitrogen Supply On Sugar Cane FieldsNitrogen management has been intensively studied on several crops and recently associated with variable rate application on-the-go based on crop sensors. On sugar cane those studies are yet scarce and as a biofuel crop the input of energy matters, looking for a high positive balance of biofuel production and low carbon emission on the whole production system. This paper shows the first results obtained using a nitrogen and biomass sensor (N-SensorTM ALS, Yara International ASA) aiming to indi... J. Molin, G. Portz, J. Jasper |

Canopy sensing (Crop Circle) and SPAD chlorophyll met... A. Sheridan, K.A. Sudduth, N.R. Kitchen |
6. Is A Nitrogen-rich Reference Needed For Canopy Sensor-based Corn Nitrogen Applications?The nitrogen (N) supplying capacity of the soil available to support corn (Zea mays L.) production can be highly variable both among and within fields. In recent years, canopy reflectance sensing has been investigated for in-season assessment of crop N health and fertilization. Typically the procedure followed compares the crop in an area known to be non-limiting in N (called a N-rich area) to the crop in areas inadequately fertilized. Measurements from the two areas are used to ... N.R. Kitchen, K.S. Suddth, S.T. Drummond |

8. Ultra Low Level Aircraft (ULLA) As A Platform For Active Optical Sensing Of Crop BiomassCrop producers requiring crop biomass maps to support timely application of in-season fertilisers, pesticides or growth regulators rely on either on-ground active sensors or airborne/satellite imagery. Active crop sensing (for example using Yara N-SensorTM, GreenseekerTM or CropcircleTM) can only be used when the crop is accessible by person or vehicle, and extensive, high-resolution coverage is time consuming. On the other hand, airborne or satellite imaging ... D.W. Lamb, M.G. Trotter, D. Schneider |
9. Investigation Of Crop Varieties At Different Growth Stages Using Optical Sensor DataCotton, soybean and sorghum are economically important crops in Texas.

15. Development Of A Nitrogen Requirement Algorithm Using Ground-based Active Remote Sensors In Irrigated MaizeStudies have shown that normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from ground-based active remote sensors is highly related with leaf N content in maize (Zea mays). Remotely sensed NDVI imagery can provide valuable information about in-field N variability in maize and significant linear relationships between sensor NDVI and maize grain yield have been found suggesting that an N recommendation algorithm based on NDVI could optimize N application. Therefore, a study was conducted using the ... T. Shaver, R. Khosla, D. Westfall |
