1. Development of a Quick Diagnosis Method to Target Fields with Better Potential for Site-Specific Weed ManagementSite-specific weed management appears as an innovative way of saving herbicides in crop while maintaining yield. This can potentially lead economic and ecological benefits. However, it was reported in the literature that savings range from 1 % to 94 % from one field to the other. This implies that certain fields... B. Panneton, M. Simard, G.D. Leroux, L. Longchamps |
2. Partial Weed Scouting For Exhaustive Real-time Spot Spraying Of Herbicides In CornReal-time spot spraying of weeds implies the use of plant detectors ahead of a sprayer. The range of weed spatial autocorrelation perpendicularly to crop rows is often greater than the space between the corn rows. To assess the possibility of using less than one plant detector scouting each inter-row, a one hectare field was entirely sampled with ground pictures at the appropriate timing for weed spraying. Different ways of disposing the detectors ahead of the sprayer were virtually tested. Scouting... L. Longchamps, B. Panneton, G.D. Leroux, M. Simard, R. Theriault |
3. Environmental Characterization for Rainfed Maize Production in the US Great Plains RegionIdentifying regions with similar productivity and yield-limiting climatic factors enables the design of tailored strategies for rainfed maize (Zea mays L.) production in vulnerable environments. Within the United States (US) Great Plains region, rainfed maize production in Kansas is susceptible to weather fluctuations. This study aims to delimit environmental regions with similar crop growth conditions and to identify the main climatic factors limiting rainfed maize yield, using the state... L.N. Lingua, A.
