1. Wheat Growth Stages Discrimination Using Generalized Fourier Descriptors In Pattern Recognition Context... F. Cointault, A. Marin, L. Journaux, J. Miteran, R. Martin |
2. Estimating Soil Productivity And Energy Efficiency Using Websoil Survey, Soil Productivity Index Calculator, And Biofuel Energy Systems SimulatorSoils have varying production capacities for a specific plant or sequence of plants under defined management strategies. The production capacity or “productivity” can be quantified as a mathematical function of a soils ability to sufficiently sustain plant growth... K.D. Reitsma, T.E. Schumacher |
3. Impact Of Winter Grazing On Forage Biomass Topography Soil Strength Spatial RelationshipsSpatial relationships between soil properties, forage productivity, and landscape can be used to manage site-specific grazing. Soil penetration resistance and forage biomass were collected for three years in winter grazing experiment. The three ha experimental area was divided into six paddocks, hay was cut twice per year in the months of May and June, and forage stockpiled after the second cutting. Animals were admitted to paddocks at the end of November, at a stocking rate... E.M. Pena-yewtukhiw, D. Mata-padrino, W. Bryan |
4. Precision Agriculture In Sugarcane Production. A Key Tool To Understand Its Variability.Precision agriculture (PA) for sugarcane represents an important tool to manage local application of fertilizers, mainly because sugarcane is third in fertilizer consumption among Brazilian crops, after soybean and corn. Among the limiting factors detected for PA adoption in the sugarcane industry, one could mention the cropping system complexity, data handling costs, and lack of appropriate decision support systems. The objective of our research group has... P.S. Graziano magalhães, G.M. Sanches, O.T. Kolln, H.C. Franco, O.A. Braunbeck, C. Driemeier |
5. Optical Sensors To Predict Nitrogen Demand By SugarcaneThe low effectiveness of nitrogen (N) from fertilizer is a substantial concern in worldwide which has been threatening the sustainability of sugarcane production. The increment of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) by sugarcane genotypes associated to the best practices of fertilizer management and nutritional diagnosis methods have higher potential to reduce environment impacts of nitrogen fertilization. Due to the difficult to determine N status in soil test as well as there is not... O.T. Kolln, G.M. Sanches, J. Rossi neto, S.G. Castro, E. Mariano, R. Otto, R. Inamasu, P.S. Magalhães, O.A.

6. From Data to Decisions - Ag Technologies Provide New Opportunities and Challenges with On-Farm ResearchU.S. farmers are challenged to increase crop production while achieving greater resource use efficiency. The Nebraska On-Farm Research Network (NOFRN), enables farmers to answer critical production, profitability, and sustainability questions with their own fields and equipment. The NOFRN is sponsored by the University of Nebraska – Lincoln Extension and derives from two separate on-farm research efforts, the earliest originating in 1990. Over the course of the last 29 years,... L. Thompson, K. Glewen, N. Mueller, J. Luck |
7. Assessing the Potential of Sentinel-1 in Retrieving Mango Phenology and Investigating Its Relation to Weather in Southern GhanaThe rise in global production of horticultural tree crops over the past few decades is driving technology-based innovation and research to promote productivity and efficiency. Although mango production is on the rise, application of the remote sensing technology is generally limited and the available study on retrieving mango phenology stages specifically, was focused on the application of optical data. We therefore sought to answer the questions; (1) can key phenology stages of mango be retrieved... B.A. Torgbor, M.M. Rahman, A. Robson, J. Brinkhoff |
8. Assessing Crop Yield and Profitability with Site-specific Seed Rate Management in Corn and Soybean Cropping SystemsIntegrating the information about soil and topographic properties for variable rate seeding is a prerequisite for improved crop production and thus profit. However, limited studies have explored the geospatial and machine learning approaches to understand factors influencing crop yield and profit under site-specific seed rate management. The objectives of this study were to: a) observe the effect of variable seeding rate based on soil and topographic properties on soybean and corn grain yield,... J. Neupane, N. Joshi, J.P. Fulton, S.
