3. An Approach to Selection of Soil Water Content Monitoring Locations within FieldsIncreased input efficiency is one of the main challenges for a modern agricultural enterprise. One way to optimize production cycles is to rationalize crop residue utilization. In conditions where there is limited use of mineral fertilizers and without applying manure, plant residues may be used as an organic fertilizer ... V.I. Adamchuk, L. Pan, R.B. Ferguson |

5. John Deere FarmSight™Agriculture has had several revolutions in the past century, and it currently faces what may be its greatest challenge to date – population growth and the increased need for food, fiber, and fuel in the future. To meet this challenge the agricultural industry will have to drive efficiencies to a level never seen before, within a context of several macro trends (e.g., farm sizes increasing, environmental sustainability requirements evolving). John Deere FarmSightTM... M. Stelford |

9. Precision Agriculture and SpringerMaryse Walsh will be presenting Precision Agriculture, the Springer journal, but also the discipline and its place in the Springer publications overall. The community attending the ICPA has a major role in ensuring the positive development of these publications and the affiliation of the journal to the ISPA will only help. ... M. Walsh |
10. Raising Awareness of the Potential of Crop Sensing Technologies to Improve Environmental StewardshipExtensive research and on-farm work using active crop sensors for input management have been conducted in the Midwest and Great Plain USA with favorable results. Contrasting is the situation in the Southeast where the adoption by farmers is still limited and current on-going research is focused on the main southeastern crops. This presentation will provide an overview of the multiple extension activities related to crop sensing involving farmers, extension agents and crop consultants in ... B. Ortiz |

13. Sensor Algorithms 101This presentation will break down the algorithms used for Optical Sensor Based Nitrogen rate recommendations. The group will walk through the mechanics and agronomics behind the most commonly used equations, in order to turn the black boxes into slightly muddied waters. ... B. Arnall |
14. Use of Zone or Grid Soil Nutrient Management as Part of an Integrated Site-specific Nutrient StrategyZone and grid sampling are used as a basis for fertilizing with nutrients site-specifically. Use of sensors to assist in-season management of nitrogen is also gaining momentum. The presentation will suggest when grid or zone sampling for preplant nutrients might be utilized and how these recommendations would be used in an integrated approach of preplant plus in-season nutrient management. ...

15. Precision Design Of Vegetative BuffersPrecision agriculture techniques can be applied at field margins to improve performance of water quality protection practices. Effectiveness of vegetative buffers, conventionally designed to have uniform width along field margins, is limited by spatially non-uniform runoff from fields. Effectiveness can be improved by placing relatively wider buffer at locations where loads are greater. A GIS tool was developed that accounts for non-uniform flow and produces more-effective, vari...

16. Soil Compaction: Impact Of Tractor And Equipment On Corn Growth, Development And YieldThis project looks at the impact of soil compaction on corn emergence, growth and development, and yield. This is a two-year study, begun in the in the spring of 2013, it will be completed after the 2014 growing season. Corn was produced in the field both years. The project hypotheses are to: 1) Soil compaction does impact corn growth, development and yield; 2) Soil compacted in the fall season by farm equipment is measurable the followin... S. Sivarajan, S. Bajwa, J. Nowatzki |
17. Comparison Of Management Zones Generated By The K-Means And Fuzzy C-Means MethodsThe generation of Management Zones (MZ) is an economic alternative to make viable the precision agriculture (RODRIGUES & ZIMBACK, 2002) because they work as operation units for the inputs localized application and as soil and culture sample indicators. For the field division in... E. Souza, K. Schenatto, F. Rodrigues, D. Rocha, C. Bazzi |
18. The Influence Of The Interpolation Method In The Management Zones GenerationThe definition of management zones (MZ) allows the concepts of precision agriculture (PA) to be used even in small producers. Methods for defining these MZ were created and are being used, obtaining satisfactory results with different crops and parameters (FLEMING & WESTFALL, 2000; ORTEGA & SANTIBÁÑEZ, 2007; MILANI et al., 2006). Through methodologies, the attributes that are influencing the productivity are selected and thematic maps are generated with the... K. Schenatto, C. Bazzi, V. Bier, E. Souza |
19. Production And Conservation Results From A Decade-Long Field-Scale Precision Agriculture SystemResearch is needed that simultaneously evaluates production and conservation outcomes of precision agriculture practices. From over a decade (1993-2003) of yield and soil mapping and water quality assessment, a multi-faceted, “precision agriculture system” (PAS) was developed and initiated in 2004 on a 36-ha field in Central Missouri. The PAS assessment was accomplished by comparing it to the previous decade of conventional corn-soyb... C. Baffaut, K. Sudduth, J. Sadler, R. Kremer, R. Lerch, N. Kitchen, K. Veum |
20. GIS Mapping of Soil Compaction and Moisture Distribution for Precision Tillage and Irrigation ManagementSoil compaction is one of the forms of physical change of soil structure which has positive and negative effects, in agriculture considered to make soil degradation. The undisciplined use of heavy load traffic or machinery in modern agriculture causes substantial soil compaction, counteracted by soil tillage that loosens the soil. Higher soil bulk densities affect resistance to root penetration, soil pore volume and permeability to air, and thus, finally the pore space habitable... H.P. Jayasuriya, M. Al-wardy, S. Al-adawi, K. Al-hinai |
21. Spatial Variability Of Soil Compaction In Annual Cycle Of Different Culture Of Cane Sugar Land Clay SandyThe assessment of soil compaction levels and choosing the best management system are very important in modern agriculture, aiming to prevent or at least restore their physical conditions to a satisfactory level. The renewal of sugar cane plantation happens on average every 5 or 6 years. The current way repeats a sequence compaction and decompaction events during successive cycles of sugarcane, which promotes breakdown of soil structure. During the harvesting and transportation, ...
