1. Early Identification Of Leaf Rust On Wheat Leaves With Robust Fitting Of Hyperspectral SignaturesEarly recognition of pathogen infection is of great relevance in precision plant protection. Disease detection before the occurrence of visual symptoms is of particular interest. By use of a laserfluoroscope, UV-light induced fluorescence data were collected from healthy and with leaf rust infected wheat leaves of the susceptible cv. Ritmo 2-4 days after inoculation under controlled conditions. In order to evaluate disease impact on spectral characteristics 215 wavelengths in the range of 370-800... C. R, T. Rumpf, K. B, M.

2. Precision Sensors For Improved Nitrogen Recommendations In WheatCrop sensor-based systems with developed algorithms for making mid-season fertilizer nitrogen (N) recommendations are commercially available to producers in some parts of the world. Although there is growing interest in these technologies by grain producers in Montana, use is limited by the lack of local research under Montana’s semiarid conditions. A field study was carried out at two locations in 2011, three locations in 2012, and two locations in 2013 in North West Montana:... O.S. Walsh, A. Pandey, R. Christiaens |
3. Winter Wheat Genotype Effect on Canopy Reflectance: Implications for Using NDVI for In-season Nitrogen Topdressing RecommendationsActive optical sensors (AOSs) measure crop reflectance at specific wavelengths and calculate vegetation indices (VIs) that are used to prescribe variable N fertilization. Visual observations of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plant greenness and density suggest that VI values may be genotype specific. Some sensor systems use correction coefficients to eliminate the effect of genotype on VI values. This study was conducted to assess the effects of winter wheat cultivars and growing conditions...

4. On-Farm Evaluation of an Active Optical Sensor Performance for Variable Nitrogen Application in Winter WheatWinter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) represents almost 50% of total cereal production in the European Union, accounting for approximately 25% of total mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizer applied to all crops. Currently, several active optical sensor (AOS) based systems for optimizing variable N fertilization are commercially available for a variety of crops, including wheat. To ensure successful adoption of these systems, definitive measurable benefits must be demonstrated. Nitrogen management strategies... O.S. Walsh, S.M. Samborski, D. Gozdowski, M. Stępień, E.

5. Sensor-based Technologies for Improving Water and Nitrogen Use EfficiencyLimited reports exist on identifying the empirical relationships between plant nitrogen and water status with hyperspectral reflectance. This project is aiming to develop effective system for nitrogen and water management in wheat. Specifically: 1) To evaluate the effects of nitrogen rates and irrigation treatments on wheat plant growth and yield; 2) To develop methods to predict yield and grain protein content in varying nitrogen and water environments, and to determine the minimum nitrogen...

6. Satellite-based On-farm Variable Rate Nitrogen Management on and Main Spatial Drivers of Cotton Yield, Nitrogen Use Efficiency, and ProfitabilityIn the United States of America, Georgia is the second largest cotton producing state, responsible for 2.6 million bales produced in 2022. In Georgia, cotton is the most economically important row crop, with ~514,000 ha harvested and $USD 1.5 billion in economic impact in the state economy in 2022. Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is one of the main inputs required to optimize cotton lint yield and quality, while also being a large input cost representing ~25% of variable costs. As a non N-fixing crop,... L. Bastos, W. Porter, G. Scarpin |
7. Proximal, Drone, and Satellite Sensors for In-season Variable Nitrogen Rate Application in Corn: a Comparative Study of Fixed-rate and Sensor-based ApproachesEffective nitrogen (N) management is essential for optimizing corn yield and enhancing agricultural sustainability. Traditional N application methods, typically uniform split pre-plant and in-season applications, often neglect the spatial and temporal variability of N requirements across different fields and years, potentially leading to N overuse. With the rise of precision agriculture technologies, it is crucial to reassess these conventional practices. This study had two main objectives: first,... A. Jakhar, A. Bhattarai, L. Bastos, G.
