1. Monitoring Soybean Growth and Yield Due to Topographic Variation Using UAV-Based Remote SensingRemote sensing has been used as an important tool in precision agriculture. With the development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, collection of high-resolution site-specific field data becomes promising. Field topography affects spatial variation in soil organic carbon, nitrogen and water content, which ultimately affect crop performance. To improve crop production and reduce inputs to the field, it is critical to collect site-specific information in a real-time manner and at a large... J. Zhou, K.A. Sudduth, A. Feng |
2. Economics of Field Size for Autonomous Crop MachinesField size constrains spatial and temporal management of agriculture with implications for farm profitability, field biodiversity and environmental performance. Large, conventional equipment struggles to farm small, irregularly shaped fields efficiently. The study hypothesized that autonomous crop machines would make it possible to farm small non-rectangular fields profitably, thereby preserving field biodiversity and other environmental benefits. Using the experience of the Hands Free Hectare... A. Al Amin, J. Lowenberg‑deboer, K. Franklin, K. Behrendt |
