1. Monitoring Dairy Cow Activity With GPS-tracking And Supporting TechnologiesNutrient loss from dairy farms is an issue of serious concern to most dairy farmers around the world. On grazed systems such as those practiced in New Zealand animal excreta has been identified as a major source of nutrient loss, which for nitrogen (N) relates to cattle urine in particular. A study was commissioned to examine nutrient transfer around dairy farms associated with the cows with a view to developing improved precision nutrient application... I. Draganova, I.J. Yule, K.

2. Using Late-season Uncalibrated Digital Aerial Imagery For Predicting Corn Nitrogen Status Within FieldsUsing uncalibrated digital aerial imagery (DAI) for diagnosing in-season nitrogen (N) deficiencies of corn (Zea mays L.) is challenging because of the dynamic nature of corn growth and the difficulty of obtaining timely imagery. Digital aerial imagery taken later during the growing season is more accurate in identifying areas deficient in N. Even so, the quantitative use of late-season DAI across many fields is still limited because the imagery is not truly calibrated. This study... P.M. Kyveryga, T.M. Blackmer, R. Pearson |
3. A Systematic Approach For Using Precision Agriculture Tools For On-farm Evaluations In IowaThe competitive nature of modern agriculture requires constant refinements of many crop production management decisions. Precision agriculture tools (PAT) can allow growers to rapidly evaluate different management practices across large areas at a relatively low cost. But a systematic approach and a decision-making process describing how to utilize different PAT for on-farm evaluations have not been yet developed and adopted. This presentation will focus on how approximately... T.M. Blackmer, P.M. Kyveryga |

8. An Evaluation Of HJ-CCD Broadband Vegtation Indices For Leaf Chlorophyll Content EstimationLeaf chlorophyll content is one of the most important biochemical variables for crop physiological status assessment, crop biomass estimation and crop yield prediction in precision agriculture. Vegetation indices were considered effective for chlorophyll content estimation. Although hyperspectral reflectance is proven to be better than multispectral reflectance for leaf chlorophyll content retrieval, the scarcity of available data from satellite hyperspectral... T.

9. Developing an Integrated Approach for Estimation of Soil Available Nutrient Content Using the Modified WOFOST Model and Time-Series Multispectral UAV ObservationsSoil available nutrient (SAN) plays an important role in crop growth, yield formation, and plant-soil-atmosphere system exchange. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are recognized as three primary nutrients in crop production. Accurate and timely information on SAN conditions at key crop growth stages is important for developing beneficial management practices. While traditional field sampling can obtain reliable information for limited number of sites, it is infeasible for spatially... Z. Cheng, J. Meng, J. Shang, J. Liu, B. Qian, Q. Jing |
