1. Maize Seeding Rate Optimization in Iowa Using Soil and Topographic Characteristics.The ability to collect soil, topography, and productivity information at spatial scales has become more feasible and more reliable with many advancement in precision technologies. This ability, combined with precision services and the accessibility farmers have to equipment capable implementing precision practices, has led to continued interest in making site-specific crop management decisions. The objective of this research was to utilize soil and topographic parameters to optimize seeding rates... M.A. Licht, A. Lenssen, R. Elmore |
2. Principal Component Analysis of Rice Production Environment in the Rice Terrace RegionEnvironmental conditions that affect rice production, such as air temper- ature, relative humidity, solar radiation, effective cation exchangeable capacity (ECEC) of the soil, and total nitrogen in irrigation water, were assessed for 4 paddy fields in Hoshino village, Fukuoka prefecture in Japan. Also, environ- mental factors that affected rice quality (physicochemical properties of rice grains and cooked rice) were identified using data during the beginning of a ripening period (20 days after...

3. Detection of Aggressive Group Behavior of Laying Hens in Free HenhousesHarmful social behaviors among laying hens, such as feather pecking and aggressive chasing, pose a significant challenge to animal welfare and productivity in cage-free poultry systems. While cage-free housing allows hens to express natural behaviors, it also increases the risk of injurious interactions that can lead to stress, injury, and economic losses. Existing mitigation strategies, including environmental enrichment and housing design improvements, reduce but do not eliminate harmful behavior,... Y. Heller, S. Druyan, A. Godo, V. Bloch |
