1. Development And Application Of Gully Erosion Components Within The USDA Annagnps Watershed Model For Precision ConservationA watershed scale assessment of the effect of conservation practices on the environment is critical when recommending conservation management practices to agricultural producers. The identification of all sources of sediment and subsequent tracking of the movement of sediment downstream is a necessary part of this assessment including the often overlooked contributions from gully erosion sources. Pollutant loading allocations established with comprehensive studies of all sediment sources... R.L. Bingner, R.R. Wells, F.D. Theurer |
2. Gps Tracking Of Sheep To Investigate Shelter And Shade Use In Relation To Climatic ConditionsIn Australia inclement weather contributes to losses of new-born lambs and recently-shorn sheep. Provision of forced shelter has been observed to reduce lamb losses by up to 10 percent and when given a choice, ewes preferentially seek shelter on offer for a period of approximately two weeks post shearing (Alexander et al. 1980). Given significant sheep losses can occur during adverse weather conditions a better understanding of sheep use of shelter and/or alternative ways of attracting sheep to... D. Taylor, , , , , , |
3. Evaluation of Differences in Corn Biomass and Nitrogen Uptake at Various Growth Stages Using Spectral Vegetation IndicesApplication of canopy sensors for nitrogen (N) fertilizer management for corn grain production in the Southeast US requires... M.S. Torino, B.V. Ortiz, J. Fulton, K. Balkcom |
4. Remote Sensing of Nitrogen and Water Status on Boston Lettuce Transplants in a Greenhouse EnvironmentRemote sensing is the stand-off collection through the use of a variety of devices for gathering information on a given object or area. Applied as a warning tool in plant stock production, it is expected to help in the achievement of better, more uniform and more productive organic cropping systems. Remote sensing of vegetation targets can be achieved from the... N. Tremblay, P. Vigneault, M.Y. Bouroubi, M. Dorais, G.P. Gianquinto, M. Tempesta |
5. Agribot: Development Of A Mobile Robotic Platform To Support Agricultural Data CollectionPrecision Agriculture and agricultural practices that take into account environment protection, leads to several research challenges. Sampling scale and the precision required by these new agricultural practices are often greater than those required by traditional agriculture, raising the costs of production. This whole process requests an expressive number of researches in developing automation instruments. Amongst them, the use of remote sensing techniques based on On-the-Go sensors... R. Tabile, A. Porto, R. Inamasu, R. Sousa |
6. Evaluation of Strip Tillage Systems in Maize Production in HungaryStrip tillage is a form of conservation tillage system. It combines the benefits of conventional tillage systems with the soil-protecting advantages of no-tillage. The tillage zone is typically 0.25 to 0.3 m wide and 0.25 to 0.30 m deep. The soil surface between these strips is left undisturbed and the residue from the previous crop remain on the soil surface. The residue-covered area reaches 60-70%. Keeping residue on the surface helps prevent soil structure and reduce water loss from the soil.... T. Rátonyi, P. Ragán, D. Sulyok, J. Nagy, E. Harsányi, A. Vántus, N. Csatári |
7. Examining the Relationship Between SPAD, LAI and NDVI Values in a Maize Long-Term ExperimentIn Hungary, the preconditions for the use of precision crop production have undergone enormous development over the last five years. RTK coverage is complete in crop production areas. Consultants are increasingly using the vegetation index maps from Landsat and Sentinel satellite data, but measurements with on-site proximal plant sensors are also needed to exclude the influence of the atmosphere. The aim of our studies was to compare the values measured by proximal plant sensors in the... P. Ragán, E. Harsányi, J. Nagy, T. Ágnes, T. Rátonyi, A. Vántus, N. Csatári |
8. The Spread of Precision Livestock Farming Technology at Dairy Farms in East HungaryDuring the survey, 25 dairy farms were examined in East Hungary in Hajdú-Bihar (H-B) County between 2017 and 2018 by methodical observation and oral interviews with the farm managers, about the spread of Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) technologies. Among Holstein Friesian dairy farms in the County 60% were questioned, and the representativity was above 47 percent ins each size category. Nine precision farming equipment were examined on the farms: milking robot or robotic carousel milking... C. Nándor, T. Rátonyi, E. Harsányi, P. Ragán, Z. Hagymássy, J. Nagy, A. Vántus |
