1. Optimizing Nitrogen Application to Maximize Yield and Reduce Environmental Impact in Winter Wheat ProductionField-specific fertilizer rate optimization is known to be beneficial for improving farming profit, and profits can be further improved by dividing the field into smaller plots and applying site-specific rates across the field. Finding optimal rates for these plots is often based on data gathered from said plots, which is used to determine a yield response curve, telling us how much fertilizer needs to be applied to maximize yield. In related work, we use a Convolutional Neural Network, known... A. Peerlinck, J. Sheppard, G.L. Morales luna, P. Hegedus, B. Maxwell |
2. Limitations of Yield Monitor Data to Support Field-scale ResearchPrecision agriculture adoption on farms continues to grow globally on farms. Today, yield monitors have become standard technologies on grain, cotton and sugarcane harvesters. In recent years, we have seen industry and even academics leveraging the adoption of precision agriculture technologies to conduct field-scale, on-farm research. Industry has been a primary driver of the increase in on-farm research globally through the development of software to support on-farm research. ... J.P. Fulton, S.A. Shearer, A. Gauci, A.

3. Integrating Nonlinear Models and Remotely Sensed Data to Estimate Crop Cardinal DatesCrop planting and harvest dates are a major component affecting agricultural productivity, risk, and nutrient cycling. The ability to track these cardinal dates allows researchers to investigate strategies to manage risk and adapt to climate change. This study was conducted to determine whether nonlinear statistical models combined with remotely sensed data from satellites can be used to estimate planting and harvest dates. Time of planting and harvest were reported by farmers for 16 commercial... C.L. Dos santos, F. Miguez, L. Puntel, D. Bullock |
4. The Relationship Between Vegetation Indices Derived from UAV Imagery and Maturity Class in Potato Breeding TrialsIn potato breeding, maturity class (MC) is a crucial selection criterion because this is a critical aspect of commercial potato production. Currently, the classification of potato genotypes into MCs is done visually, which is time- and labor-consuming. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with sensors can acquire images with high spatial and temporal resolution. The objectives of this study were to 1) establish the relationship between vegetation indices (VIs) derived from UAV imagery at three... S.M. Samborski, U. Torres, R. Leszczyńska, A. Bech, M.
