1. Revising Nitrogen Recommendations For Wheat In Response To The Need For Support Of Variable-rate Nitrogen ApplicationSampling studies in North Dakota conducted from 1994 to 2003 showed that variable-rate N application could be practically directed with zone soil sampling. Results from variable-rate N studies using zone soil sampling were often less than rewarding due in part to the use of a whole-field predicted yield-based formula for developing the N recommendation in each zone. Nitrogen rate studies on spring wheat and durum were established in 2005 through 2009 to reexamine N recommendations. The results... D. Franzen, G. Endres, R. Ashley, J. Staricka, J. Lukach, K.

3. Active Optical Sensor Algorithms For Corn Yield Prediction And In-Season N Application In North DakotaA recent series of seventy seven field N rate experiments with corn (Zea mays, L.) in North Dakota was conducted. Multiple regression analysis of the characteristics of the data set indicated that segregating the data into those with high clay soils and those with medium textures increased the relationship between N rate and corn yield. However, the nearly linear positive slope relationship in high clay soils and coarser texture soils with lower yield productivity indicated... L. Sharma, H. Bu, R. Ashley, G. Endres, J. Teboh, D.W.

4. GIS Mapping of Soil Compaction and Moisture Distribution for Precision Tillage and Irrigation ManagementSoil compaction is one of the forms of physical change of soil structure which has positive and negative effects, in agriculture considered to make soil degradation. The undisciplined use of heavy load traffic or machinery in modern agriculture causes substantial soil compaction, counteracted by soil tillage that loosens the soil. Higher soil bulk densities affect resistance to root penetration, soil pore volume and permeability to air, and thus, finally the pore space habitable... H.P. Jayasuriya, M. Al-wardy, S. Al-adawi, K.

5. Misalignment Between Sugar Cane Transshipment Trailers and TractorSugarcane production system is dependent on a continuous cutting and regrowth of cane plants from their roots, on which traffic should be avoided to ensure the physiological integrity of regrowth and productivity. This need for accuracy in sugarcane machine traffic boosted the adoption of automated steering systems, especially on harvesters. Tractors with the transshipment trailers, which continually accompany the harvesters in the field, yet do not adopt it or use technology with lower... B.P. Passalaqua, J. Molin, J. Salvi, A.P.

6. Grazing System and Solar Fences, Innovation and Opportunity in Rangeland of Developing CountriesThe future of the development and management of pasture resources depends on increasing the use of scientific innovations. In some countries rangeland livestock production majority relies on natural ecological processes of plant and animal production, despite the progress in all of the infrastructure, rangeland management have a little growth and base on traditional ranching management, grazing livestock is based on a free grazing system. In this study grazing system was applied and electric fence... H. Arzani, E. Alizadeh |
7. Practical and Affordable Technologies for Precision Agriculture in Small Fields: Present Status and Scope in IndiaThe objective of this review paper is to find out practical and affordable precision agriculture(PA) technologies present status and scope in India that are suitable for small fields. The judicious use of inputs like water, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and better management of farm equipments will increase the net profit for farmers. The important components of PA in India which are being used for small lands are Geographic Information System(GIS), laser land leveler, leaf color chart,... S. Kumar, M. Singh, H.

8. The Profitability of Variable Rate Lime in WheatGrid sampling allows a variable rate of lime to be applied and has been marketed as a cost saver to producers. However, there is little research that shows if this precision application is profitable or not. Previous research on variable-rate lime has considered only a small number of fields. This paper uses soil sampling data from 170 fields provided by producers in Oklahoma and Kansas. We compare net returns of variable rate to uniform rate lime for grain only wheat production, dual-purpose... B. Mills, B. Brorsen, D. Arnall |
9. Detecting Basal Stem Rot (BSR) Disease at Oil Palm Tree Using Thermal Imaging TechniqueBasal stem rot (BSR), caused by Ganoderma boninense is known as the most damaging disease in oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia. Ganoderma could reduce the productivity of oil palm plantations and potentially reduce the market value of palm oil in Malaysia. Early disease management of Ganoderma could prevent production losses and reduce the cost of plantation management. This study focuses on identifying the thermal properties of healthy and BSR-infected tree using a thermal imaging... S. Bejo, G. Abdol lajis, S. Abd aziz, I. Abu seman, T. Ahamed |
10. Precision Agriculture: A Paradigm Shift for Espousal of Advanced Farming Practices Among Progressive Farmers in Punjab –PakistanPrecision agriculture provides innovative farm information tools for improved decision making regarding crop growth and yield. Creating awareness for future applications of precision agriculture among progressive farmers in Pakistan was an instrumental force to conduct this study. The purpose was to appraise the awareness level of the respondents for applications of precision agriculture in the field. The objectives such as assessing the awareness level, available information sources, future needs,... E. Ashraf, H.K. Shurjeel, R. Rasheed |
11. Overcoming Educational Barriers for Precision Agriculture Adoption: a University Diploma in Precision Agriculture in ArgentinaThe lack of educational programs in Precision Agriculture (PA) has been reported as one of the barriers for adoption. Our goal was to improve professional competence in PA through education in crop variability, management, and effective practices of PA in real cases. In the last 20 years different efforts has been made in Argentina to increase adoption of PA. The Universidad Nacional de Rio Cuarto (UNRC) launched in 2021 the first University Diploma in PA, a 9-month program to train agronomist... G. Balboa, A. Degioanni, R. Bongiovanni, R. Melchiori, C.

12. Detection of Goat Herding Impact on Vegetation Cover Change Using Multi-season, Multi-herd Tracking and Satellite ImageryThe frequency and severity of Mediterranean forest fires are expected to worsen as climate change progresses, heightening the need to evaluate understory fuel management strategies as rigorously as possible. Prescribed small-ruminant foraging is considered a sustainable, cost-effective strategy, but demonstrating a link between animal presence and vegetation change is challenging. This study tested whether the effect of small-ruminant herd presence in Mediterranean woodlands can be detected by... T. Paz kagan, V. Alexandroff, E.D. Ungar |
13. Enabling Field-level Connectivity in Rural Digital Agriculture with Cloud-based LoRaWANThe widespread adoption of next-generation digital agriculture technologies in rural areas faces a critical challenge in the form of inadequate field-level connectivity. Traditional approaches to connecting people fall short in providing cost-effective solutions for many remote agricultural locations, exacerbating the digital divide. Current cellular networks, including 5G with millimeter wave technology, are urban-centric and struggle to meet the evolving digital agricultural needs, presenting... Y. Zhang, J. Bailey, A.
