1. Contour Planting: A Strategy To Reduce Soil Erosion On Steep SlopesPractices that combine GPS-based guidance for terrain contouring and tillage for runoff detention have potential to increase water infiltration and reduce runoff. The objective of this study was to investigate contour planting as a means to reduce soil erosion on steep slopes of the Columbia Plateau dryland wheat region. An exploratory field study was conducted on a Ritzville... D.S. Long, S.B. Wuest, J.D. Williams, M.J. Bailey, |
2. Automatic Soil Penetrometer Measurements And GIS-Based Documentation With The Autonomous Field Robot Platform BoniRobFor a sustainable agriculture, reliable measurements of soil properties and its interpretation are of highest relevance. Until today most of the measurements are carried out manually or by integrating off-line laboratories. Moreover, the number and density of measurement points is always an important aspect with respect to the statistical significance of the results. In this work a fully automatic measurement system has been developed and applied for the first time with free selectable... M. Göttinger, S. Hinck, K. Möller, A. Ruckelshausen, C. Scholz |
3. Design of a Greenhouse Monitoring System Based on GSM TechnologiesNowadays, internet and mobile technologies are developing and being used in everyday life. Systems based on mobile technologies and IoT (Internet of Things) are being popular in every area of life and science. Innovative IoT applications are helping to increase the quality, quantity, sustainability and cost effectiveness of agricultural production. In this study; a system which monitors temperature, relative humidity and PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) and warns the farmer... G.T. Seyhan, U. Yegul, M. Ayık |
4. Measurement of In-field Variability for Active Seeding Depth Applications in Southeastern USProper seeding depth control is essential to optimize row-crop planter performance, and adjustment of planter settings to within field spatial variability is required to maximize crop yield potential. The objectives of this study were to characterize planting depth response to varying soil conditions within fields, and to discuss implementation of active seeding depth technologies in Southeastern US. This study was conducted in 2014 and 2015 in central Alabama for non-irrigated maize (Zea mays... A.M. Poncet, J.P. Fulton, T.P. Mcdonald, T. Knappenberger, R.W. Bridges, J. Shaw, K. Balkcom |
5. soil2data: Concept for a Mobile Field Laboratory for Nutrient AnalysisKnowledge of the small-scale nutrient status of arable land is an important basis for optimizing fertilizer use in crop production. A mobile field laboratory opens up the possibility of carrying out soil sampling and nutrient analysis directly on the field. In addition to the benefits of fast data availability and the avoidance of soil material transport to the laboratory, it provides a future foundation for advanced application options, e.g. a high sampling density, sampling of small sub-fields...

6. A Passive-RFID Wireless Sensor Node for Precision AgricultureAccurate soil data is crucial for precision agriculture. While existing optical methods can correlate soil health to the gasses emitted from the field, in-soil electronic sensors enable real-time measurements of soil conditions at the effective root zone of a crop. Unfortunately, modern soil sensor systems are limited in what signals they can measure and are generally too expensive to reasonably distribute the sensors in the density required for spatially accurate feedback. In this... P.J. Goodrich, C. Baumbauer, A.C. Arias |
