1. Sound Based Detection Of Moths In Open FieldsIntroduction Open field farming of tomatoes suffers from the presence of harmful moths whose larvas are devastating. Detecting automatically the presence of moths allows regulating the use of pesticides, according to the actual population present in the field. Up to now, sex pheromone traps have been used, the number of captured insects giving some indication about the population. However, proper inspection of the traps is... F. Rossant, J. Orensanz, D.

2. Tomato Development Monitoring In An Open Field, Using A Two-Camera Acquisition SystemIntroduction Optimal harvesting date and predicted yield are valuable information when farming open field tomatoes, making harvest planning and work at the processing plant much easier. Monitoring growth during tomato?s early stages is also interesting to assess plant stress or abnormal development. Yet, it is very challenging due to the colours and the high degree of occlusion...

3. Variable Rate Irrigation Management Using NDVICenter pivot irrigation systems are commonly used for corn and cotton production in the southeast USA. Technology for variable rate water application with center pivots is available; however, it is not widely used due to increased management requirements. Methods to develop dynamic in-season prescriptions in response to changing crop conditions are needed to move this technology forward. The objective of this research was to evaluate the potential of using normalized difference vegetative index... K.C. Stone, P.J. Bauer |
4. Enhancing Nutrient-related Stress Detection: High Throughput Phenotyping and Image Analysis for Improved PrecisionIn the 21-century agriculture has the unique responsibility to provide food, fuel, fiber and feed for the growing population under the stress of climate change and diminishing natural resources. A feat that will take considerable change to the sustainability of such practices. One of which is the idea of assessing phenotypic expression of complex traits in response to environmental factors. This idea elevates the use of phenotyping to quantitatively monitor stress manifestation. Therefore,... K.J. Bathke, Y. Ge, S.D. Choudhury, J.D. Luck |
5. Fertigation Management Strategies Effect on Residual Nitrates in the Soil Profile and Ground WaterNitrogen is an input that is vital for growth and productivity within the corn belt states of the U.S. However, when nitrogen as an input into agricultural cropping systems is often over-applied and thus not optimally utilized by the cropping system. Therefore, it is at risk of loss within the environment through processes of leaching, denitrification, and volatilization. This is a major concern in Nebraska, as the reality is that much of the state’s groundwater has been contaminated with... K.J. Bathke, T. Cross, J.D. Luck |
6. Sensor Based Fertigation ManagementSensor-based fertigation management (SBFM) is a relatively new technology for directing nitrogen (N) decisions, specifically tailored for delivery of N via center pivot irrigation systems (fertigation). The development of SBFM began in 2018 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with the help of cooperating producers across the state. Over two dozen field sites provided testbeds for the development and evaluation of the technology. The key technique in this fertigation approach is the... J. Stansell, J.D. Luck, T. Cross, K.J.

7. In-Season Nitrogen Management: Leveraging Data Visualization for Precision AgricultureThe agricultural sector nitrogen management-related research has been extensively high by experiencing a data revolution, with an increasing influx of information from diverse sources like sensors, satellites, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) imaging technologies. In this context, effective in-season nitrogen data management has become a critical factor; however, the ability of farmers to visualize the impact of such technologies in field research settings has been limited. This project... C. Narayana, S. vanderplas, K.J. Bathke, J.D. Luck |
