1. Comparison Of Different Vegetation Indices And Their Suitability To Describe N-uptake In Winter Wheat For Precision FarmingTo avoid environment pollution and to minimize the costs of using mineral fertilizers an efficient fertilization system, tailored to the plant needs becomes more and more important. For that, the essential information can be determined by detecting certain crop parameters, like dry matter of the plant biomass above ground, N-content and N-uptake. By using fluorescence and reflectance measurements of the canopy and the mathematical analysis these parameters are appreciable. In three years,... M. Strenner, F. Maidl |
2. Microbial Contaminants in Cocoa Powder Samples in South – West NigeriaCocoa powder (CP), which is the major ingredient of cocoa-based beverages, is obtained from cocoa cake in a process involving hydraulic pressing of cocoa butter from fermented and roasted cocoa beans. Cocoa powder is presently being consumed as a health drink because of the presence of flavonoids in it. Evidences have shown that cocoa flavonoids exert powerful antioxidant properties by boosting immune responses and also the presence of procyanidins in cocoa protects the body against free-radical....

3. 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.

4. Field-level Zoning at Regional Scale Using Remote Sensing and GIS: Lessons Learned from the Desert Agriculture Region of Southern CaliforniaA decision support tool, SAMZ-Desert, utilizing GIS and remote sensing techniques, was created to delineate management zones (MZs) for a total of 6852 fields in California's Imperial County. Landsat-8 NDVI data from April 27, 2018, was employed for this purpose. Furthermore, 11 cloud-free images captured between 2018 and 2020 were statistically analyzed to assess within-field NDVI variability and the temporal stability of MZs at the regional level. Approximately 37% of the fields in the region... A.K. Verdi, A. Garg, A. Sapkota |
