1. Measuring Pasture Mass and Quality Indices Over Time Using Proximal and Remote SensorsTraditionally pasture has been measured or evaluated in terms of a dry matter yield estimate, which has no reference to other important quality factors. The work in this paper measures pasture growth rates on different slopes and aspects and pasture quality through nitrogen N% and metabolizable energy and ME concentration. It is known that permanent pasture species vary greatly in terms of quality and nutritional value through different stages of maturity. Pasture quality decreases as grass tillers... I.J. Yule, M.C.

2. Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle with Multispectral with RGB Sensors to Analyze Canola Yield in the Canadian PrairiesIn 2017 canola was planted on 9 million hectares in Canada surpassing wheat as the most widely planted crop in Canada. Saskatchewan is the dominant producer with nearly 5 million hectares planted in 2017. This crop, seen both as one of the highest-yielding and most profitable, is also one of most expensive and input-intensive for producers on the Canadian Prairies. In this study, the effect of natural and planted shelterbelts on canola yield was compared with canola yield... K. Hodge, L. Bainard, A. Smith, F. Akhter |
