1. On-Farm Trials Using Precision Ag in Northeast LouisianaThe availability of yield monitors and precision application equipment on producers’ farms have made it much easier for researchers to take the results from experiment station trials and apply them to producers’ fields. Treatments/methods are applied in strips, by prescription, embedded plots or in combination. Fields are divided into zones for analyzing the harvest yield data. These can include soil type, soil Ec, or other criteria. Treatments are analyzed... D. Burns, D. Overstreet, D. Kruse, R. Frazier, D. Blanche |
2. Development of a Crop Edge Line Detection Algorithm Using a Laser Scanner for an Autonomous Combine HarvesterThe high cost of real-time kinematic (RTK) differential GPS units required for autonomous guidance of agricultural machinery has limited their use in practical auto-guided systems especially applicable to small-sized farming conditions. A laser range finder (LRF) scanner system with a pan-tilt unit (PTU) has the ability to create a 3D profile of objects with a high level of accuracy by scanning their surroundings in a fan shape based on the time-of-flight measurement principle. This paper describes... C. Jeon, H. Kim, X. Han, H. Moon |
3. Thermal Characterization and Spatial Analysis of Water Stress in Cotton (Gossypium Hirsutum L.) and Phytochemical Composition Related to Water Stress in Soybean (Glycine Max)Studies were designed to explore spatial relationships of water and/or heat stress in cotton and soybeans and to assess factors that may influence yield potential. Investigations focused on detecting the onset of water/heat stress in row crops using thermal and multispectral imagery with ancillary physicochemical data such as soil moisture status and photosynthetic pigment concentrations. One cotton field with gradations in soil texture showed distinct patterns in thermal imagery, matching patterns... S.J. Thomson, S.L. Defauw, P.J. English, J.E. Hanks, D.K. Fisher, P.N. Foster, P.V.
