1. Nitrogen Management in Lowland RiceRice is staple diet for more than fifty percent of the world population and nitrogen (N) deficiency is one of the major yields limiting constraints in most of the rice producing soils around the world. The lowland rice N recovery efficiency is <50% of applied fertilizers in most agro-ecological regions. The low N efficiency is associated with losses caused by leaching, volatilization, surface runoff, and denitrification. Hence, improving N use efficiency is crucial for higher yields, low cost...

2. Variety Effects on Cotton Yield Monitor CalibrationWhile modern grain yield monitors are able to harvest variety and hybrid trials without imposing bias, cotton yield monitors are affected by varietal properties. With planters capable of site-specific planting of multiple varieties, it is essential to better understand cotton yield monitor calibration. Large-plot field experiments were conducted with two southeast Missouri cotton producers to compare yield monitor-estimated weights and observed weights in replicated variety trials. Two replications... E. Vories, A. Jones, G. Stevens, C. Meeks |
3. Comparing Hyperspectral and Thermal UAV-borne Imagery for Relative Water Content Estimation in Field-grown SesameSesame (Sesamum indicum) is an irrigated oilseed crop, and studies on its water content estimation are sparred. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-borne imageries using spectral reflectance as well as thermal emittance for crops are an ample source of high throughput information about their physiological and chemical traits. Though several studies have dealt with thermal emittance to assess the crop water content, evaluating its relation to the plant’s solar reflectance is limitedly... M. Sahoo, R. Tarshish, V.
