1. Modifying the University of Missouri Corn Canopy Sensor Algorithm Using Soil and Weather InformationCorn production across the U.S. Corn belt can be often limited by the loss of nitrogen (N) due to leaching, volatilization and denitrification. The use of canopy sensors for making in-season N fertilizer applications has been proven effective in matching plant N requirements with periods of rapid N uptake (V7-V11), reducing the amount of N lost to these processes. However, N recommendation algorithms used in conjunction with canopy sensor measurements have not proven accurate in making N recommendations... G. Bean, N.R. Kitchen, D.W. Franzen, R.J. Miles, C.

2. Increasing Profitability & Sustainability of Maize Using Site-Specific Crop Management in New ZealandPrecision agriculture (PA) tools and techniques have been used in New Zealand (NZ) since the early 1990's. There has been wide-scale uptake of some PA tools such as autosteer; planter and sprayer section control; and variable-rate irrigation. However, there has been a limited uptake of Site-Specific Crop Management (SSCM) using variable-rate seeding, nutrient and lime applications to different Management Zones (MZ). This paper outlines examples of the use of SSCM on maize crops,... A.W. Holmes, G. Jiang |
