1. Developing a Machine Learning and Proximal Sensing-based In-season Site-specific Nitrogen Management Strategy for Corn in the US MidwestEffective in-season site-specific nitrogen (N) management strategies are urgently needed to ensure both food security and sustainable agricultural development. Different active canopy sensor-based precision N management strategies have been developed and evaluated in different parts of the world. Recent studies evaluating several sensor-based N recommendation algorithms across the US Midwest indicated that these locally developed algorithms generally did not perform well when used broadly across...

2. Automated Sow Estrus Detection Using Machine Vision TechnologySuccessful artificial insemination for gilts and sows relies on accurate timing that is determined by estrus check. Estrus checks in current farms are manually conducted by skilled breeding technicians using the back pressure test (BPT) method that is labor-intensive and inefficient due to the large animal-to-staff ratio. This study aimed to develop a robotic imaging system powered by artificial intelligence technology to automatically detect estrus status for gilts and sows in a stall-housing... J. Zhou, Z. Xu, T.J.
