1. NIRS Sensor Controlled Total-Mixed-Ration For Nutrient Optimized Feeding Of Dairy CattleThe exact regulation of dry matter, energy and ingredients in fodder rations provides a large advantage in order to optimize an economical animal nutrition. Feed mixer wagons are used to feed Gras and Maize silage together with other components. It can be used in combination with a transponder system for feed concentrate as well as for feeding of a total mixed ration. The online measurement system based on NIR-spectrometric sensors to measure DM-content and other nutrients should... P. Büscher, P. Twickler, D. Marquering, M. Müller, D. Maack |
2. Recognition And Classification Of Weeds In Sugarcane Using The Technique Of The Bag Of WordsThe production of sugar and ethanol in Brazil is very prominent economically and the reducing costs and improving the production system being necessary. The management crops operations of sugarcane and the control of weed is one of the processes that cause the greatest increase in production costs; because the competition that exists between cane plants and weed, for water, nutrients and sunlight is big, contribute to the loss of up to 20% of the useful cane. The use of image processing techniques... W.E. Santiago, A.R. Barreto, D.G. Figueredo, R.C. Tinini, B.T. Mederos, N.J. Leite |
3. Regional Usefulness of Nitrogen Management Zone Delineation ToolsIn the Northern Plains of Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota, a number of site-specific tools have been used to delineate nitrogen management zones. A three-year study was conducted using yield mapping, elevation measurements, satellite imagery, aerial Ektochrome® photography, and soil EC to delineate nitrogen management zones and compare these zones to residual fall soil nitrate. At most of the sites, variable-rate N was applied and compared with uniform N application. The site-specific... D. Franzen, F. Casey, J. Staricka, D. Long, J. Lamb, A. Sims, M. Halvorson, V. Hofman |
4. Harness the Power of the Internet to Improve YieldIt’s rare to find a fertile farm or ranch that has complete cellular coverage across the entirety of its property. Because networking options like Wi-Fi are limited by restricted infrastructure in these areas, maintaining a reliable flow of connectivity is difficult. Yet, even if consistent cellular coverage is available, it’s frequently cost prohibitive for farm monitoring. Similarly, alternate wireless devices that require batteries aren’t practical because of high maintenance... M. Finegan, D. Wallace |
