1. A New Version of the Nitrogen Trading Tool (NTT) To Assess Nitrogen Management across the USAA recent study from the USDA Economic Research Service (September 2011) reported that about one-third of U.S. cropland was found to meet the requirements for nutrient... J.A. Delgado, J.C. Ascough ii |
2. A New GIS Approach To Assess Nitrogen Management Across The USANitrogen is one of the elements that are essential to maximizing agricultural productivity and economic returns for farmers. Its management is difficult because this element is very dynamic and mobile, characteristics that can contribute to significant losses via atmospheric, surface and/or leaching pathways. The magnitude of these losses can be affected by site-specific physical and chemical factors. These physical and chemical factors can vary significantly across the landscape, adding to the... J.

3. SPOT5 Multispectral Data Potentialities To Monitor Potato Crop Nitrogen Status At Specific Field ScaleThe many challenges facing European agriculture and farm of tomorrow are such that they increasingly require the setting up of Decision Support Systems (DSS) that favour integrated crop management at farm or regional level. A valuable DSS for management of split fertilizer N applications was developed in Belgium for potato crop. It combines total N recommendation based on field predictive balance-sheet method along with Crop Nitrogen Status (CNS) monitoring through hand-held chlorophyll meter... J. Goffart, A. Leonard, D.

4. Matching Nitrogen To Plant Available Water For Malting Barley On Highly Constrained Vertosol SoilCrop yield monitoring, high resolution aerial imagery and electromagnetic induction (EMI) soil sensing are three widely used techniques in precision agriculture (PA). Yield maps provide an indication of the crop’s response to a particular management regime in light of spatially-variable constraints. Aerial imagery provides timely and accurate information about photosynthetically-active biomass during crop growth and EMI indicates spatial variability in soil texture, salinity and/or... B.

5. ADAPT: A Rosetta Stone for Agricultural DataModern farming requires increasing amounts of data exchange among hardware and software systems. Precision agriculture technologies were meant to enable growers to have information at their fingertips to keep accurate farm records (and calculate production costs), improve decision-making and promote efficiencies in crop management, enable greater traceability, and so forth. The attainment of these goals has been limited by the plethora of proprietary, incompatible data formats among... D.D. Danford, K.J. Nelson, S.T. Rhea, M.W. Stelford, R. Ferreyra, J.A. Wilson, B.E.

6. Late Season Imagery for Harvest ManagementThe overall objective of this project was to preliminarily assess the use of UAV-based thermal imagery to sense harvest-related factors. Results suggested that thermal imagery can be used to detect areas of high grain moisture content late in the harvest season. Time periods closer to physiological maturity were less likely to show significant differences in thermal imagery data. Additional research is needed to determine if moisture content trends with other measurable quantities... J. Ward, G. Roberson, R. Phillips |
7. Almonds and Pistachios: Sustaining Legacy, Innovations, and Nutritional Advancements in CaliforniaCalifornia's unique Mediterranean climate has made it the global epicenter for tree nut production, providing nearly 99 percent of the nation’s almond and pistachio supply. The California tree nut industry is characterized by its deep-rooted heritage, with 90% of its farms being family-owned and operated, often spanning multiple generations. These farmers have been at the forefront of agricultural innovation, investing approximately millions of dollars annually in scientific research... H. Kulhandjian, S. Asci |
8. Sensor Based Fertigation ManagementSensor-based fertigation management (SBFM) is a relatively new technology for directing nitrogen (N) decisions, specifically tailored for delivery of N via center pivot irrigation systems (fertigation). The development of SBFM began in 2018 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with the help of cooperating producers across the state. Over two dozen field sites provided testbeds for the development and evaluation of the technology. The key technique in this fertigation approach is the... J. Stansell, J.D. Luck, T. Cross, K.J.
