1. A New Approach to Yield Map CreationOne of the barriers to using yield maps as a data layer in precision agriculture activities is that the maps being generated to day are not very accurate in representing what really happened in field. Numerous data errors in the way the data is collected, poor calibration habits on the part of operators... C. Romier, M. Hyrien, D. Lamker |
2. The Use Of A Ground Based Remote Sensor For Winter Wheat Grain Yield Prediction In Northern PolandThe aim of the research was to investigate if algorithms developed for winter wheat, cv. Trend, yield predictions, based on ground measured GNDVI, differ significantly between 2 sequent years. The research was conducted in Pomerania, northern Poland (54° 31' N 17° 18' E) on sandy loam soils. The strip-trial design was used to compare the effect of 6 N treatments: 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 kg ha-1, applied as one dose at the beginning... S.M. Samborski, D. Gozdowski, S.E. Dobers |
3. Detection Of Nitrogen Deficiency In Potatoes Using Small Unmanned Aircraft SystemsSmall Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) are recognized as potentially important remote-sensing platforms for precision agriculture. A nitrogen rate experiment was established in 2013 with ‘Ranger Russet’ potatoes by applying four rates of nitrogen fertilizer (112, 224, 337, and 449 kg N/ha) in a randomized block design with 3 replicates. A Tetracam Hawkeye sUAS and Agricultural Digital Camera Lite sensor were used to collect imagery with near-infrared... D.A. Horneck, D.J. Gadler, A.E. Bruce, R.W. Turner, C.B. Spinelli, J.J. Brungardt, P.B. Hamm, E. Hunt |
4. Accelerating Precision Agriculture to Decision Agriculture: Enabling Digital Agriculture in AustraliaFor more than two decades, the success of Australia’s agricultural and rural sectors has been supported by the work of the Rural Research and Development Corporations (RDCs). The RDCs are funded by industry and government. For the first time, all fifteen of Australia’s RDC’s have joined forces with the Australian government to design a solution for the use of big data in Australian agriculture. This is the first known example of a nationwide approach for the digital transformation... J. Trindall, R. Rainbow |
5. Determining the Marginal Value of Extra Precision in Precision Grazing Systems – an Ex Ante Analysis of Impacts on System Productivity, Sustainability and EconomicsThe development of precision livestock farming (PLF) technologies for application in grazing systems is rapidly evolving. PLF technologies that facilitate the spatial and temporal management of variability in landscapes, pastures and animals promise to improve the efficiency, profitability and sustainability of livestock farming. However, such technologies as a complete package do not yet exist in grazing systems and the question of impacts at the farm system level remains unresolved. Other potential... K. Behrendt, T. Takahashi, M.S. Rutter |
6. Is Row-unit Vibration Affected by Planter Speeds and Downforce?Row-unit vibration is an issue created mainly by planter`s opening disks and gauge-wheels contact with the ground. Variability on row-unit vibration could interfere on seed metering and delivery process, affecting crop emergence and final stand. With the amount of embedded technology present on planters, producers are being encouraged to increase planting speeds, which is also one of the main factors for row-unit vibration increasement. In this way, knowing the proper speeds, and using other instruments... L.P. Oliveira, B.V. Ortiz, G.T. Morata, T. Squires, J. Jones |
7. Effective Furrow Closing Systems for Consistent Corn Seed PlacementFarmers face a constant challenge when choosing the appropriate planter setup due to the variability of cropping systems under no-till. Effective performance of the planter's closing wheels can reduce errors from previous components that affect seedbed formation in the furrow. Effective seed-to-soil contact during planting is essential for optimal seed emergence and overall crop stand, with the closing wheels playing a pivotal role in this process. Producers have a range of closing wheels... J. Peiretti, B. Gigena, S. Badua, A. Sharda |
