1. Factors Influencing the Timing of Precision Agriculture Technology Adoption in Southern U.S. Cotton ProductionTechnology innovators in cotton production adopted precision agriculture (PA) technologies soon after they became commercially available, while others adopted these technologies in later years after evaluating the success of the innovators. The timing of... D.M. Lambert, J.A. Larson, B.C. English, R.M. Rejesus, M.C. Marra, A.K. Mishra, C. Wang, P. Watcharaanantapong, R.K. Roberts, M. Velandia |
2. Optical Sensors To Predict Nitrogen Demand By SugarcaneThe low effectiveness of nitrogen (N) from fertilizer is a substantial concern in worldwide which has been threatening the sustainability of sugarcane production. The increment of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) by sugarcane genotypes associated to the best practices of fertilizer management and nutritional diagnosis methods have higher potential to reduce environment impacts of nitrogen fertilization. Due to the difficult to determine N status in soil test as well as there is not... O.T. Kolln, G.M. Sanches, J. Rossi neto, S.G. Castro, E. Mariano, R. Otto, R. Inamasu, P.S. Magalhães, O.A.

3. Sensor-based Nitrogen Applications Out-performed Producer-chosen Rates for Corn in On-farm DemonstrationsOptimal nitrogen fertilizer rate for corn can vary substantially within and among fields. Current N management practices do not address this variability. Crop reflectance sensors offer the potential to diagnose crop N need and control N application rates at a fine spatial scale. Our objective was to evaluate the performance of sensor-based variable-rate N applications to corn, relative to constant N rates chosen by the producer. Fifty-five replicated on-farm demonstrations... P. Scharf, K. Shannon, K. Sudduth, N. Kitchen |
4. Precision Farming Basics Manual - a Comprehensive Updated Textbook for Teaching and Extension EffortsToday precision agricultural technologies are limited by the lack of a workforce that is technology literate, creative, innovative, fully trained in their discipline, able to utilize and interpret information gained from information-age technologies to make smart management decisions, and have the capacity to convert locally collected information into practical solutions. As part of a grant entitled Precision Farming Workforce Development: Standards, Working Groups, and Experimental Learning... K. Shannon |
