1. Revising Nitrogen Recommendations For Wheat In Response To The Need For Support Of Variable-rate Nitrogen ApplicationSampling studies in North Dakota conducted from 1994 to 2003 showed that variable-rate N application could be practically directed with zone soil sampling. Results from variable-rate N studies using zone soil sampling were often less than rewarding due in part to the use of a whole-field predicted yield-based formula for developing the N recommendation in each zone. Nitrogen rate studies on spring wheat and durum were established in 2005 through 2009 to reexamine N recommendations. The results... D. Franzen, G. Endres, R. Ashley, J. Staricka, J. Lukach, K.

2. Comparison Of Different Vegetation Indices And Their Suitability To Describe N-uptake In Winter Wheat For Precision FarmingTo avoid environment pollution and to minimize the costs of using mineral fertilizers an efficient fertilization system, tailored to the plant needs becomes more and more important. For that, the essential information can be determined by detecting certain crop parameters, like dry matter of the plant biomass above ground, N-content and N-uptake. By using fluorescence and reflectance measurements of the canopy and the mathematical analysis these parameters are appreciable. In three years,... M. Strenner, F. Maidl |
3. 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.

4. 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.
