3. X-Ray Computed Tomography For State Of The Art Plant And Root AnalysisDuring the last years, the formerly in medical applications established technique of X-ray computed tomography (CT) is used for non-destructive material analysis as well. Adapting this technique for the visualization and analysis of growth processes of plants above and underneath the soil enables new possibilities in the so called smart agriculture. Using State-of-the-art CT systems the computed 3D volume datasets allows the visualization and virtual analysis of hidden structures like roots... S. Reisinger, N. Uhlmann, R. Hanke, S. Gerth |
4. Design, Error Characterization And Testing Of A System To Measure Locations Of Fruits In Tree CanopiesMapping the variability of fruit size and quality within tree canopies in commercial orchards is an important tool for implementing precision horticulture. To do so at a reasonably fast rate requires localization technologies that offer sufficient speed and accuracy, at a range long enough to cover entire trees – or several trees at a time. Existing approaches for measuring fruit locations include: manual (centimeter accuracy and measurement time in the order of minutes per... S.G. Vougioukas, F.J. Jimenez, F. Khosro anjom, R. Elkins, C. Ingels, R. Arikapudi |
5. Modus: a Standard for Big DataModus Standard is a system of defined terminology, agreed metadata and file transfer format that has grown from a need to exchange, merge and trend agricultural testing data. The three presenters will discuss steps taken to develop the system, benefits to data exchange, current user base and additions being made to the standard. ... D. Nerpel, J.W. Ellsworth, A. Hunt |
6. Climate Sensitivity Analysis on Maize Yield on the Basis of Precision Crop ProductionIn this paper by prediction we have defined maize yield in precision plant production technologies according to five different climate change scenarios (Ensembles Project) until 2100 and in one scenario until 2075 using DSSAT v. 4.5.0. CERES-Maize decision support model. Sensitivity analyses were carried out. The novelty of the method presented here is that precision, variable rate technologies from relatively small areas (in our case 2500 m2) enable a large amount of data to be collected... A. Nyeki, G. Milics, A.J. Kovacs, M. Neményi, J. Kalmar |
7. Automated Segmentation and Classification of Land Use from Overhead ImageryReliable land cover or habitat maps are an important component of any long-term landscape planning initiatives relying on current and past land use. Particularly in regions where sustainable management of natural resources is a goal, high spatial resolution habitat maps over large areas will give guidance in land-use management. We propose a computational approach to identify habitats based on the automated analysis of overhead imagery. Ultimately, this approach could be used to assist experts,... C. Pradalier, A.

8. Development of a High Resolution Soil Moisture for Precision Agriculture in IndiaSoil moisture and temperature are key inputs to several precision agricultural applications such as irrigation scheduling, identifying crop health, pest and disease prediction, yield and acreage estimation, etc. The existing remote sensing satellites based soil moisture products such as SMAP are of coarse resolution and physics based land surface model such as NLDAS, GLDAS are of coarse resolution as well as not available for real time applications. Keeping this in focus, we are developing... K. Das, J. Singh, J. Hazra |
9. Evaluating Remote Sensing Based Adaptive Nitrogen Management for Potato ProductionConventional nitrogen (N) management for potato production in the Upper Midwest, USA relies on using split-applications of N fertilizer or a controlled release N product. Using remote sensing to adaptively manage N applications has the potential to improve N use efficiency and reduce losses of nitrate to groundwater, which are important regional concerns. A two-year plot-scale experiment was established to evaluate adaptive N-management using remote sensing compared to conventional practices for... B. Bohman, D. Mulla, C. Rosen |
10. Delineation of Site-specific Management Zones with Proximal Data and Multi-spectral ImageryMany findings suggested that it’s possible to improve the accuracy of delineating site-specific management zones (SSMZs) through a combination of proximal data with remote sensing imagery. The objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of delineating SSMZs with a wide range of ancillary data (proximal survey and multi-spectral data). The study area is a 22.1acre located 10 miles north of Fort Collins, CO and is known for having a high spatial and temporal variability of soil properties.... W.A. Yilma, J. Siegfried, R. Khosla |
11. Evaluating the Potential of Improving In-season Nitrogen Status Diagnosis of Potato Using Leaf Fluorescence Sensors and Machine LearningPrecision nitrogen (N) management is particularly important for potato crops due to their high N fertilizer demand and high N leaching potential caused by their shallow root systems and preference for coarse-textured soils. Potato farmers have been using a standard lab analysis called petiole nitrate-N (PNN) test as a tool to diagnose potato N status and guide in-season N management. However, the PNN test suffers from many disadvantages including time constraints, labor, and cost of analysis.... S. Wakahara, Y. Miao, S. Gupta, C. Rosen, K. Mizuta, J. Zhang, D. Li |
12. Mapping Soil Health and Grain Quality Variations Across a Corn Field in TexasSoil health is a key property of soils influencing grain yield and quality. Within-field mapping of soil health index and grain quality can help farmers and managers to adjust site-specific farm management decisions for economic benefits. A study was conducted to map within-field soil health and grain protein and oil content variations using apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) and terrain attributes as their predictors. Two hundred and two topsoil samples were analyzed to determine soil health... K. Adhikari, D.R. Smith, C. Hajda, P.R. Owens |
13. Evaluating Different Strategies for In-season Potato Nitrogen Status Diagnosis Using Two Leaf SensorsAccurate and efficient in-season diagnosis of potato nitrogen (N) status is key to the success of in-season N management for improved profitability and environmental protection. Sensor-based approaches will support more timely decision making compared to plant tissue-based approaches. SPAD-502 (SPAD; Konica Minolta, Tokyo, Japan) is a commonly used sensor for potato N status diagnosis. Dualex Scientific+ (Dualex; METOS® by Pessl Instruments, Weiz, Austria) is a new leaf chlorophyll... S. Wakahara, Y. Miao, S. Gupta, C. Rosen |
14. Use of Radar SAR Images to Assess Soil Moisture in Cane Crops: Practical Implications in Agricultural OperationSugar cane cultivation in the geographical region of the Cauca River Valley is a key industry for the local economy. However, this crop faces constant challenges related to the management of agricultural machinery for soil cultivation in conditions of high soil moisture. In this context, the synthetic aperture radar (SAR Radar) of the Sentinel 1 satellite emerges as a promising technology. The purpose of this work is to explore the use of the Sentinel 1 satellite SAR radar sensor in sugarcane... O.J. Munar-vivas, S. Anderson guerrero, D.F. Angrino chiran, J.F. Mateus-rodriguez |
