1. Vegetation Indices from Active Crop Canopy Sensor and Their Potential Interference Factors on SugarcaneAmong the inputs usually used in the sugarcane production the nitrogen (N) is the most significant. With the use of ground-based canopy sensors to obtain vegetation indexes (VI), it is possible to obtain recommendations of nutrient supply in... L.R. Amaral, J.P. Molin, L. Taubinger |
2. 'Spatial Discontinuity Analysis' a Novel Geostatistical Algorithm for On-farm ExperimentationTraditional agronomic experimentation is restricted to small plots. Under appropriate experimental designs the effects of uncontrolled environmental variables are minimized and the measured responses (e.g. in yields) are compared to controllable inputs (seed, tillage, fertilizer, pesticides) using well-trusted design-based statistical methods. However, the implementation of such experiments can be complex and the application, management, and harvesting of treated areas might have to... S. Rudolph, B.P. Marchant, V. Gillingham, D. Kindred, R. Sylvester-bradley |
3. Hyperspectral Imaging to Measure Pasture Nutrient Concentration and Other Quality ParametersManaging pasture nutrient requirements on large hill country sheep and beef properties based on information from soil sampling is expensive because of the time and labor involved. High levels of error are also expected as these properties are often greatly variable and it is therefore extremely difficult to sample intensively enough to capture this variation. Extensive sampling was also not considered viable as there was no effective means of spreading fertilizer with a variable rate capability... I.J. Yule, R.R. Pullanagari, G. Kereszturi, M.E.
