1. On-The-Go pH Sensor: An Evaluation in a Kentucky FieldA commercially available on-the-go soil pH sensor measures and maps subsurface soil pH at high spatial intensities across managed landscapes. The overall purpose of this project was to evaluate the potential for this sensor to be used in agricultural fields. The specific goals were to determine and evaluate 1) the accuracy with which this instrument can be calibrated, 2) the geospatial structure of soil pH measurements,... T. Mueller, E. Gianello, B.

2. Technological Improvement on Sugar Cane Yield MonitorThis paper presents the technological improvement on sugar cane yield monitor. The system designed employs load cells as an instrument for weighing billets, set up on the side conveyor of the harvester before the sugar cane billets are dropped into a field transport wagon. This data, along with the information gathered by GPS installed on the harvester, enabled the elaboration of a digital yield map using GIS. In order to improve the yield monitor a re-design of the first prototype was accomplished.... D.G. Cerri, G.R. Gray, P.S. Magalhães |
