1. Soybean Canopy Response To Charcoal Rot In Arkansas: Observations Using Crop Circletm (ACS-470).Charcoal Rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina is a problem to soybean production, especially in hot and dry areas of southern US. As an approach to develop a fast assessment method of this soil-borne disease, soybean canopy reflectance was recorded with an active optical sensor, the Crop CircleTM ACS-470 in 2009 from a microplot field in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The microplot experiment was designed as a completely randomized factorial experiment with four cultivars, two inoculum... S.S. Kulkarni, M. Doubledee, S.G. Bajwa, J.C. Rupe |
2. Vis/NIR Spectroscopy to Estimate Crude Protein (CP) in Alfalfa Crop: Feasibility StudyThe fast and reliable quality determination of alfalfa crop is of interest for producers to make management decisions, the dealers to determine the price, and the dairy producers for livestock management. In this study, the crude protein (CP), one of the main quality indices of alfalfa, was estimated using the visible and near-infrared (Vis/NIR) spectroscopy. A total of 68 samples from various variety trials of alfalfa crop were collected under the irrigated and rainfed conditions. The diffuse... M. Maharlooei, S. Bajwa, S.A. Mireei, A. Shirzadi, S.
