1. Nitrogen Sensing by Using Spectral Reflectance Measurements in Cereal Rye CanopyCereal rye (cereale secale L.) is a winter crop well suited for cultivation especially besides high yield areas because of its relatively low demands on the soil and on the climate as well. In 2016 about 4.9% of arable land in Germany was cultivated with cereal rye (Statistisches Bundesamt, 2017). Unlike other crops such as wheat, there is little research on cereal rye for site specific farming. Furthermore, also in a cereal rye cultivation it is necessary to minimize nitrogen loss.... M.

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 |
3. Using On-the-Go Soil Sensors to Assess Spatial Variability within the KS Wheat Breeding ProgramIn plant breeding the impacts of genotype by environment interactions and the challenges to quantify these interactions has long been recognized. Both macro and microenvironment variations in precipitation, temperature and soil nutrient availability have been shown to impact breeder selections. Traditionally, breeders mitigate these interactions by evaluating genotype performance across varying environments over multiple years. However, limitations in labor, equipment and seed availably can limit... B. Evers, M. Rekhi, G. Hettiarachchi, S. Welch, A. Fritz, P.D. Alderman, J. Poland |
