1. In-Season Decision Support Tools For Estimating Nitrogen Side-Dress Rates For Maize (Zea Mays L.)Nitrogen fertilizer has been synthetically produced to nourish plants, increase yield and improve harvest quality. One of the way to increase NUE is called split application which is apply portion of N fertilizer from the beginning and apply another portion during vegetative stage (V4-V6). Improving accuracy of corn side dress N rate recommendations can improve profitability and reduce potential negative environmental impacts of over fertilization. The objective of this experiment...

2. Field Phenotyping Infrastructure in a Future World - Quantifying Information on Plant Structure and Function for Precision Agriculture and Climate ChangePhenotyping in the field is an essential step in the phenotyping chain. Phenotyping begins in the well-defined, controlled conditions in laboratories and greenhouses and extends to heterogeneous, fluctuating environments in the field. Field measurements represent a significant reference point for the relevance of the laboratory and greenhouse approaches and an important source of information on potential mechanisms and constraints for plant performance tested at controlled conditions. In this... O. Muller, M.P. Cendrero mateo, H. Albrecht, F. Pinto, M. Mueller-linow, R. Pieruschka, U. Schurr, U. Rascher, A. Schickling, B. Keller |
3. Modifying the University of Missouri Corn Canopy Sensor Algorithm Using Soil and Weather InformationCorn production across the U.S. Corn belt can be often limited by the loss of nitrogen (N) due to leaching, volatilization and denitrification. The use of canopy sensors for making in-season N fertilizer applications has been proven effective in matching plant N requirements with periods of rapid N uptake (V7-V11), reducing the amount of N lost to these processes. However, N recommendation algorithms used in conjunction with canopy sensor measurements have not proven accurate in making N recommendations... G. Bean, N.R. Kitchen, D.W. Franzen, R.J. Miles, C.

4. Fertigation Management Strategies Effect on Residual Nitrates in the Soil Profile and Ground WaterNitrogen is an input that is vital for growth and productivity within the corn belt states of the U.S. However, when nitrogen as an input into agricultural cropping systems is often over-applied and thus not optimally utilized by the cropping system. Therefore, it is at risk of loss within the environment through processes of leaching, denitrification, and volatilization. This is a major concern in Nebraska, as the reality is that much of the state’s groundwater has been contaminated with... K.J. Bathke, T. Cross, J.D. Luck |
5. Sensor Based Fertigation ManagementSensor-based fertigation management (SBFM) is a relatively new technology for directing nitrogen (N) decisions, specifically tailored for delivery of N via center pivot irrigation systems (fertigation). The development of SBFM began in 2018 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with the help of cooperating producers across the state. Over two dozen field sites provided testbeds for the development and evaluation of the technology. The key technique in this fertigation approach is the... J. Stansell, J.D. Luck, T. Cross, K.J.
