1. Performance Evaluation of STICS Crop Model to Simulate Corn Growth Attributes in Response to N Rate and Climate VariationsImproving nitrogen use efficiency in crop plants contributes to increase the sustainability of agriculture. Crop models could be used as a tool to test the impact of climatic conditions on crop growth under several N management practices and to refine N application recommendation and strategy. STICS, a crop growth simulator developed by INRA (France), has the capability to assimilate leaf area index (LAI) from remote sensing to re-initialize input parameters, such as seeding date and seeding...

2. Field Evaluation of a Variable-rate Aerial Application SystemVariable rate aerial application systems are becoming more readily available; however, aerial applicators typically only use the systems for constant rate application of materials, allowing the systems to compensate for upwind and downwind ground speed variations. Much of the resistance to variable rate application system adoption pertains to applicator’s trust in the systems to turn on and off automatically as desired. If an application system operating in an automatic mode were... D.E. Martin, C. Yang |
