1. Remote Control System for Greenhouse Environment Using Mobile DevicesProtected crop production facilities such as greenhouse and plant factory have drawn interest and the area is increasing in Korea as well as in other countries in the world. Remote... S. Chung, K. Kim, H. Kim, J. Choi, Y. Zhang, S. Kang, K. han, S. Hur |
2. NDVI 'Depression' In Pastures Following GrazingPasture biomass estimation from normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) using ground, air or space borne sensors is becoming more widely used in precision agriculture. Proximal active optical sensors (AOS) have the potential to eliminate the confounding effects of path radiance and target illumination conditions typically encountered using passive sensors. Any algorithm that infers the green fraction of pasture from NDVI must factor in plant morphology and live/dead plant ratio, irrespective... J.S. Stanley, D.W. Lamb, M.G. Trotter, M.M. Rahman |
3. Precision Placement of Corn Gluten Meal for Weed Control in Organic Vegetable ProductionOrganic vegetable producers rank weeds as one of their most troublesome, time consuming, and costly production problems. As a result of the limited number of organically approved weed control herbicides, the precision placement of these materials increases their potential usefulness in organic production systems. As a non-selective preemergence or preplant-incorporated herbicide, corn gluten meal (CGM) inhibits root development; decreases shoot length, and reduces plant survival. The development... C.L.

4. Impacts of Interpolating Methods on Soil Agri-environmental Phosphorus Maps Under Corn ProductionPhosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for crops production including corn. However, the excessive P application, tends to P accumulation at the soil surface under crops systems. This may contribute to increase water and groundwater pollution by surface runoff. To prevent this, an agri-environmental P index, (P/Al)M3, was developed in Eastern Canada and USA. This index aims to estimate soil P saturation for accurate P fertilizer recommendations, while integrating agronomical aspects... J. Nze memiaghe, A.N. Cambouris, N. Ziadi, M. Duchemin, A. Karam |
5. Nitrogen Fertilization of Potato Using Management Zone in Prince Edward Island, CanadaPotato is sensible to nitrogen (N) and optimal N fertilization improve the tuber yield and its quality. Potato crop N response varies widely within fields. It is also well recognized that significant spatial and temporal variation in soil N availability occurs within crop fields. However, uniform application of N fertilizer is still the most common practice under potato production. Management zone (MZ) approach can help growers to achieve a part of this. The goal of the project is to compare the... A. Cambouris, M. Duchemin, N. Ziadi |
6. In-season Nitrogen Prediction Evaluation Using Airborne Imagery with AI Techniques in Commercial Potato ProductionIn modern agriculture, timely and precise nitrogen (N) monitoring is essential to optimize resource management and improve trade benefits. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a staple food in many regions of the world, and improving its production is inevitable to ensure food security and promote related industries. Traditional methods of assessing nitrogen are labour-intensive, time-consuming, and require subjective observations. To address these limitations, a combination of multispectral... B. Javed, A.

7. Assess the Feasibility of Remote Sensing Vegetation Index for In-season N Status Evaluation with Nitrogen Measurement from Commercial FieldNitrogen (N) fertilization plays a crucial role in corn production in the United States. Corn, being a major commodity crop, relies heavily on N fertilization throughout its growth cycle to achieve optimal yields and maintain profitability. During this period of rapid N uptake, it's imperative for farmers to supply sufficient N at the right time to support proper crop development. However, the use of N fertilizer comes with environmental considerations as it can be susceptible to loss through... A. Nguyen, A. Sharma, R. Prasad |
8. Assessment of Soil Spatial Properties and Variability Using a Portable VIS-NIRS Soil Probe for On-farm Precision ExperimentationAssessing the spatial variability of soil properties represents an important issue for on-farm sustainable management owing to high cost of sampling densities. Actual methods of soil properties measurement are based on conventional soil sampling of one sample per ha, followed by laboratory analysis, requiring many soil extraction processes and harmful chemicals. This conventional laboratory analysis does not allow exploring spatial variation of soil properties at desired fine spatial scale. Thus,... A. Cambouris, M. Duchemin, E. Lord, N. Ziadi, B.

9. Delineating Management Zones for Optimizing Soil Phosphorus Recommendations Under a No Till Field in Eastern CanadaCorn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) represent the most common crop rotation in Eastern Canada. These crops are cultivated using no-tillage (NT) practice to enhance agroecosystem sustainability. However, NT practice can cause several agri-environmental issues related to phosphorus (P) stratification, movement and runoff leading to P eutrophication in waters. Another major challenge is the expensive costs of extensive soil sampling and laboratory tests needed for accurate... J. Nze memiaghe, A. Cambouris, M. Duchemin, N. Ziadi, A. Karam |
