1. A Comparison Of Performance Between UAV And Satellite Imagery For N Status Assessment In CornA number of platforms are available for the sensing of crop conditions. They vary from proximal (tractor-mounted) to satellites orbiting the Earth. A lot of interest has recently emerged from the access to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones that are able to carry sensors payloads providing data at very high spatial resolution. This study aims at comparing the performance of a UAV and satellite imagery acquired over a corn nitrogen response trial set-up. The nitrogen (N) response... P. Vigneault, N. Tremblay, M.Y.

2. Soil Microbial Communities Have Distinct Spatial Patterns in Agricultural FieldsSoil microbial communities mediate many important soil processes in agricultural fields, however their spatial distribution at distances relevant to precision agriculture is poorly understood. This study examined the soil physico-chemical properties and topographic features controlling the spatial distribution of soil microbial communities in a commercial potato field in eastern Canada using next generation sequencing. Soil was collected from a transect (1100 m) with 83 sampling points in a landscape... B. Zebarth, C. Goyer, S. Neupane, S. Li, A. Mills, S. Whitney, A. Cambouris, I. Perron |
