1. Precision Design Of Vegetative BuffersPrecision agriculture techniques can be applied at field margins to improve performance of water quality protection practices. Effectiveness of vegetative buffers, conventionally designed to have uniform width along field margins, is limited by spatially non-uniform runoff from fields. Effectiveness can be improved by placing relatively wider buffer at locations where loads are greater. A GIS tool was developed that accounts for non-uniform flow and produces more-effective, variable-width,... T. Mueller, S. Neelakantan, M. Helmers, M. Dosskey |
2. Precision Nutrient Management System Based on Ion and Crop Growth SensingAutomated sensing and variable-rate supply of nutrients in hydroponic solutions according to the status of crop growth would allow more efficient nutrient management for crop growth in closed systems. The Structure from Motion (SfM) method has risen as a new image sensing method to obtain 3D images of plants that can be used to estimate their growth, such as leaf cover area (LCA), plant height, and fresh weight. In this sense, sensor fusion technology combining ion-selective electrodes (ISEs)... W. Cho, D. Kim, C. Kang, H. Kim, J. Son, S. Chung, J. Jiang, H. Yun |
3. Modulated On-farm Response Surface Experiments with Image-based High Throughput Techniques for Evidence-based Precision AgronomyAgronomic research is vital to determining optimum inputs for crops to perform profitably at a local scale. However, the small-plot experiment validity is often uncertain due to on-farm variations. Furthermore, the likelihood of conducting a fully randomized trial at a local farm is low given various practical and technical challenges. We propose a new methodology with many inputs to allow for a response surface that fits the yield response to the input levels with higher accuracy to make on-farm... A.U. Attanayake, E.U.
