1. Using GPS-RTK In Crop Variety And Hybrid EvaluationsThe traditional methods used by many to conduct research in crop variety and hybrid evaluations is to blank plant the area, flag the area, or use a physical marker. All of these have disadvantages. In blank planting it may be difficult to plant exactly in the same rows, and can dry the soil and affect seed germination if soil water is limited. Blank planting also destroys crop residues and with skip-row residues are destroyed in the unplanted rows.This method is used for many plots in c... R.N. Klein, J.A. Golus |
2. Profitability Of RTK Autoguidance And Its Influence On Peanut ProductionEfficient harvest of peanuts (Arachis hypogea L.) requires that the digging implement be accurately positioned directly over the target rows. Small driving... K. Balkcom, B. Ortiz, J. Shockley, J.P. Fulton |
3. The Cost Of Dependence Upon GPS-enabled Navigation TechnologiesThe adoption of global positioning system (GPS) technology to fine-tune agricultural field operations over the last decade has been unprecedented relative to other agricultural technologies. Resultantly, as agricultural machinery size and capacity increased, field operations have become much more precise due to the synergistic relationship between farm machinery and GPS-enabled guidance technology. With increased dependence upon GPS technology, one must ask “What are the risks associate... C. Lee, T. Griffin |
