1. Production And Conservation Results From A Decade-Long Field-Scale Precision Agriculture SystemResearch is needed that simultaneously evaluates production and conservation outcomes of precision agriculture practices. From over a decade (1993-2003) of yield and soil mapping and water quality assessment, a multi-faceted, “precision agriculture system” (PAS) was developed and initiated in 2004 on a 36-ha field in Central Missouri. The PAS assessment was accomplished by comparing it to the previous decade of conventional corn-soybean... C. Baffaut, K. Sudduth, J. Sadler, R. Kremer, R. Lerch, N. Kitchen, K. Veum |
2. Sensor Based Soil Health AssessmentQuantification and assessment of soil health involves determining how well a soil is performing its biological, chemical, and physical functions relative to its inherent potential. Due to high cost, labor requirements, and soil disturbance, traditional laboratory analyses cannot provide high resolution soil health data. Therefore, sensor-based approaches are important to facilitate cost-effective, site-specific management for soil health. In the Central Claypan Region, visible, near-infrared (VNIR)... K. Veum, K.

3. Impact of Cover Crop and Soil Apparent Electrical Conductivity on Cotton Development and YieldCotton is one of the major crops in the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) of the U.S. Lower Mississippi River Valley region. Because cotton production doesn’t leave a lot of crop residue in the field, low soil organic matter levels are common. While the benefits of crop rotation are well known, cotton is often grown year after year in the same fields for economic reasons. Soils in the region are generally quite variable, with areas of very high sand content. Winter cover crops and reduced tillage... E. Vories, K. Veum, K. Sudduth |
4. Farmer Charlie - Low Cost Data Analytics for Farmers Accessible in the FieldFarmer Charlie, a spin-off of AB5 Consulting Ltd, is based on an affordable business model including five elements: a data analytics platform, an agribusiness ecosystem app, capable of connecting with local third-party apps; weather and in field sensors; wi-fi Internet connectivity; and power to the field and farms via solar panels, where necessary. Farmer Charlie brings information to farmers in their own fields, in an easy plug and play solution, affordable to the farmers and addressing their... B. Bonnardel |
5. Farmer Charlie - Low Cost Smart Local Data Available to Remote FarmersFarmer Charlie brings connectivity and information to farmers, who receive tailored agronomic data to improve their agricultural practice. Farmer Charlie is based on on-site sensors through which soil data can be detected, gathered, and processed by a dedicated server. Broadband communication allows farmers to receive real-time, localised information on tablet or mobile phone. Farmer Charlie is a low-cost solution, it can be adapted to various crops and to detect soil humidity, pH, temperature,... B. Bonnardel |
6. Advanced Classification of Beetle Doppelgängers Using Siamese Neural Networks and Imaging TechniquesThe precise identification of beetle species, especially those that have similar macrostructure and physical characteristics, is a challenging task in the field of entomology. The term "Beetle Doppelgängers" refers to species that exhibit almost indistinguishable macrostructural characteristics, which can complicate tasks in ecological studies, conservation efforts, and pest management. The core issue resides in their striking similarity, frequently confusing both experts and automated... P.R. Armstrong, L.O. Pordesimo, K. Siliveru, A.R. Gerken, R.O. Serfa juan |
