1. Predicting Dry Matter Composition of Grass Clover Leys Using Data Simulation and Camera-Based Segmentation of Field Canopies into White Clover, Red Clover, Grass and WeedsTargeted fertilization of grass clover leys shows high financial and environmental potentials leading to higher yields of increased quality, while reducing nitrate leaching. To realize the gains, an accurate fertilization map is required, which is closely related to the local composition of plant species in the biomass. In our setup, we utilize a top-down canopy view of the grass clover ley to estimate the composition of the vegetation, and predict the composition of the dry matter of the forage.... S. Skovsen, M.

2. Ground Vehicle Mapping of Fields Using LiDAR to Enable Prediction of Crop BiomassMapping field environments into point clouds using a 3D LIDAR has the ability to become a new approach for online estimation of crop biomass in the field. The estimation of crop biomass in agriculture is expected to be closely correlated to canopy heights. The work presented in this paper contributes to the mapping and textual analysis of agricultural fields. Crop and environmental state information can be used to tailor treatments to the specific site. This paper presents the current results... M.P. Christiansen, M.S. Laursen, R.N. Jørgensen, S.

3. Evaluation of Crop Model Based Tools for Corn Site-specific N Management in NebraskaThere is a critical need to reduce the nitrogen (N) footprint from corn-based cropping systems while maintaining or increasing yields and profits. Digital agriculture technologies for site-specific N management have been demonstrated to improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, adoption of these technologies remains low. Factors such as cost, complexity, unknown impact and large data inputs are associated with low adoption. Grower’s hands-on experience coupled with targeted research... L. Puntel, L. Thompson , T.

4. Environmental Characterization for Rainfed Maize Production in the US Great Plains RegionIdentifying regions with similar productivity and yield-limiting climatic factors enables the design of tailored strategies for rainfed maize (Zea mays L.) production in vulnerable environments. Within the United States (US) Great Plains region, rainfed maize production in Kansas is susceptible to weather fluctuations. This study aims to delimit environmental regions with similar crop growth conditions and to identify the main climatic factors limiting rainfed maize yield, using the state... L.N. Lingua, A. Carcedo, V. Gimenez, G. Maddonni, I. Ciampitti |
5. Site Specific Evaluation of Dynamic Nitrogen Recommendation ToolsManagement tools are a potential solution for increased profit and N use efficiency (NUE) in corn production. Most previous studies evaluating these tools used small plot research which does not accurately represent large scale performance and inhibits adoption. Two dynamic model-based N management tools, which were commercially available in 2021 and 2022 (Adapt-N and Granular), were tested at fifteen on-farm research locations in Nebraska. The objective of this study were to evaluate the site-specific... S. Norquest, L. Puntel, G. Balboa, L. Thompson |
6. Trends in Agricultural Technology Advancements: Insights from US Patent AnalysisMeeting the demand for food, fiber, and fuel production while addressing environmental concerns and enhancing societal benefits underscores the need to transition to conservation approaches and sustainable intensification pathways in current agricultural cropping systems. Technological advances in agriculture offer promising opportunities to facilitate this transition. Following this rationale, this study aims to analyze prevailing trends in agricultural technology advancements. Active patents... P.B. Cano, A. Carcedo, F. Gomez, C. Hernandez, V. Gimenez, I.

7. On-farm Experimentation Case Study in Brazil: Evaluation of Soybean Seeding Rate Using Resources Available at the FarmIn order to maximize grain yield in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) it is necessary that the plant population is correctly defined. Production environments differ spatially, and cultivar holders suggest plant populations across macroregions and in broad ranges. Refinements of planting seasons and populations are carried out through tests on many properties, often costly and sometimes unrepresentative of most fields. Tools for managing spatial variability are ways to conduct more... M. Rodrigues alves franchi, I. Molina cyrineu, F. Kagami taira, L. Hunhoff, L.M. Gimenez |
