1. Determination Of Crop Injury From Aerial Application Of Glyphosate Using Vegetation Indices And GeostatisticsInjury to crops caused by off-target drift of glyphosate can seriously reduce growth and yield, and is of great concern to farmers and aerial applicators. Determining an indirect method for assessing the levels and extent of crop injury could support management decisions. The objectives of this study were to evaluate multiple vegetation indices (VIs) as surrogate variables for glyphosate injury identification and to evaluate the combined use of Geostatistical methods and the VIs to assess...

2. Apparent Electrical Conductivity Calibration In Semiarid Soils: Ion-pair CorrectionThe electromagnetic induction sensor (EM38DD) is a field proven portable sensor for rapid measurement of the apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) of soils. Calibration with the electrical conductivity of saturation paste extracts is the most widely used method to correlate ECa with the effective electrical conductivity (ECe). A drawback of this method is the formation of ion pairs in the high ionic strength saturated paste extracts, which effectively decreases the measured ECe, leading to the... X. Amakor, A.R.

3. Use Of Quality And Quantity Information Towards Evaluating The Importance Of Independent Variables In Yield PredictionYield predictions based on remotely sensed data are not always accurate. Adding meteorological and other data can help, but may also result in over-fitting. Working with American Crystal Sugar, we were able to demonstrate that the relevance of independent variables can be tested much more reliably when not only yield but also quality attributes are known, such as the sugar content and the sugar...

4. Window-based Regression Analysis of Field DataHigh-resolution satellite and areal imagery enables multi-scale analysis that has previously been impossible. We consider the task of localized linear regression and show that window-based techniques can return results at different length scales with very high efficiency. The ability of inspecting multiple length scales is important for distinguishing factors that vary over different length scales. For example, variations in fertilization are expected to occur on shorter length... A.M. Denton, H. Chavan, D.W. Franzen, J.F. Nowatzki |
5. Assessing Soybean Injury from Dicamba Using RGB and CIR Images Acquired on Small UAVsDicamba is an herbicide used for postemegence control of several broadleaf weeds in corn, grain sorghum, small grains, and non-cropland. Currently, dicamba-tolerant (DT) soybean and cotton are under development, which provide new options to combat weeds resistant to glyphosate, the most widely used herbicide. With the use of DT-trait cotton and soybean, off-target dicamba drift onto susceptible crops will become a concern. To relate soybean injury to different rates of dicamba applications,... Y.
