1. Remote Sensing of Nitrogen and Water Status on Boston Lettuce Transplants in a Greenhouse EnvironmentRemote sensing is the stand-off collection through the use of a variety of devices for gathering information on a given object or area. Applied as a warning tool in plant stock production, it is expected to help in the achievement of better, more uniform and more productive organic cropping systems. Remote sensing of vegetation targets can be achieved from the... N. Tremblay, P. Vigneault, M.Y. Bouroubi, M. Dorais, G.P. Gianquinto, M. Tempesta |
2. Application of Drone Data to Assess Damage Intensity of Bacterial Leaf Blight Disease on Rice Crop in IndonesiaThe Government of Indonesia has launched agricultural insurance program since 2016. A key in agricultural insurance is damage assessment which is required to be as precise, quick, quantitative and inexpensive as possible. Current method is to inspect the damage by human eyes of specialist having experiences. This method, however, costs much and is difficult to estimate disease infected fields precisely in wide area. So, there is increasing need to develop effective, simplified and low cost method... C. Hongo, S. Isono, G. Sigit, B. Utoyo, E. Tamura |
3. Where to Put Treatments for On-farm ExperimentationOn-farm experimentation has become more and more popular due to advancements in technology. These experiments are not as costly as before, as current machinery can allocate different levels of treatment to specific plots. The main goal of this kind of experiment is to obtain a site-specific nutrient level. The yield behavior is different based on the researcher’s treatment. One unanswered question for on-farm experimentation is how the treatments should be allocated in the first place such... D. Poursina, W. Brorsen |
4. Using Informative Bayesian Priors and On-farm Experimentation to Predict Optimal Site-specific Nitrogen RatesMost U.S. Corn Belt states now recommend the Maximum Return to Nitrogen (MRTN) method for determining optimal nitrogen rates, which is based on 15 years of on-farm yield response to nitrogen trials. The MRTN method recommends a uniform rate for a region of a state. This study combines Illinois MRTN data, Bayesian methods, and on-farm experimentation from the Data Intensive Farm Management (DIFM) project to provide site-specific nitrogen recommendations. On-farm trials are now being used to provide... W. Brorsen, D. Poursina, C. Patterson, T. Mieno, B. Edge, E.D. Nafziger |
